NFL Network Reports: Vikings Release Randy Moss

TrevorR has already started a Fan Post, and that comment thread is awesome. But some updates seem in order on the news first reported by Michael Lombardi that the Vikings have released WR Randy Moss. Since the first thread has almost 300 comments, we needed a new place for comments anyway. However, our old friend Greg Bedard tweets that this is not a done deal.
Looking back, the Vikings are 1-3 since they traded for Moss, and he hasn't been the difference maker that they expected. Anyone who's read about him for years, except obviously Brad Childress, would know that he's eventually worn out his welcome at every stop, but his release seems to stem from his post-game rant to reporters. Over at ESPN, Kevin Seifert discusses the other players who have faced Childress' wrath after speaking out in public. Jason Cole wrote months ago that Brad Childress has surrounded himself with yes-men, and Moss is obviously not playing along. After catering to QB Brett Favre's every moment of indecision, and making the ill-advised trade in the first place, Childress has now decided "that Moss' actions were not the way things were done around the Vikings organization." As much as this was inevitable, this is more of a reflection on Childress then Moss.
The title over at Daily Norseman pretty well sums it up: "Vikings Wave Goodbye To Moss, Apparently the 2010 Season." Christopher Gates adds in an earlier post "Honestly, does anyone have any idea what in the hell this franchise is doing any more?" Well, it's a good thing they didn't give him a contract extension.
Will the Packers claim Moss? As much as the Packers could really use another receiver they don't need the other baggage Moss brings to his new team. In 2007, GM Ted Thompson showed an extreme reluctance to trade for Moss and I don't see why he's changed his mind. Judd Zulgad tweets that the Dolphins and Seahawks appear to be his most likely destinations. But that's an awful big contract to pick up. He wasn't on the Monday waiver wire, but if he really is released then I wouldn't be surprised if no one claims him.

The Raiders at least have wins this year
you might call the Panthers or the Bills’ organisations worse than the Vikings.
For all the crap we give Wil Wheaton, he can still tackle better than Asante Samuel...

It must be wonderful

By the way, thanks for beating the Jests.

They are not officially done yet...
It is certainly entertaining to watch the Vikes and Child-ress lose their composure and crumble, but I am unwilling to laugh or count them out until after they lose their 8th game.
The only thing that would make this Favre-saga turn into a bigger nightmare is if he turned it around took it to us again, in division standings (which also means winning the next match). Just hoping Rice is not ready soon enough and that the team cannot find its way.
it is nice to see
Childress FINALLY stand up for himself after watching Favre walk all over him for the last year and a half.
It’s even nicer to see him do it in a profoundly stupid way
The best part is, if they didn’t release him and Childress just did this without telling management, can you imagine Moss trying to play on that team? He’d catch the ball and hand it to the opponent. I think the worst part of this, is that it pretty much spells the end of Brad Chilress being the Vikings coach, probably as soon as they’re out of the playoffs… I’m going to miss the “what not to do” tutorials he displays each week
I posted this on DN
If Moss sticks around… man. Managing a normal moss is trying to keep a guy with a torch from a TNT factory. If he is still playing for them, it’s like the guy with the torch and 500 of his friends are eating lunch in the middle of said factory.
This hardly sounds like Childress sticking up for himself.
I think it’s more of a desperate coach who has lost control of his team, and since Moss said some things after their latest loss, Chilly made the move. It doesn’t sound like he bothered to consult anyone else, but he made the move anyway.
Childress ceded control of that team last August when he went to pick up Favre at the airport.
It is too late
for Childress to do damage control to his rep. It has been irreparably damaged by his 09 antics. Yeah, he won, but he got promptly slapped down in the NFC title game and has been reeling ever since.

all I'm saying
is that it was pretty obvious Moss half-assed it last Sunday and I bet it was because Childress went with his game plan instead of taking Moss’ advice (why you would not take advice from a guy on that team for 3 years is beyond me). If Moss is going to throw a fit over that and then say what he did after the game… good for Childress. It was dumb as sh!t but good for him for finally standing up for himself.
Come on Tim Brewster as successor!!!!
It looks like Childres actually didn't have FO approval.
Be interesting to see how this swings. But currently it certainly is time to start the jokes up about the VIkes for sure.. This is awful.
It's a lot easier to love the Vikings when they win...
A (very) small part of me would love to see the Packers sign him just to stick it to Favre, but there is no way that it should happen. Two teams with playoff aspirations have kicked him to the curb this season. He’s way too volatile to even think about.
Its beautiful to behold the implosion of a division rival. What a train wreck. Ted Thompson would pee all over his shoes to lose a 3rd round draft pick like that. Its not surprising that Moss ran his mouth. He thought he had immunity because his buddy Favre runs the show.
So the Vikings are in a free fall and have lost a draft pick, will lose their QB and head coach by the end of the year. They might be looking up at the Lions soon.
Often times certain events remind me of movie lines.
Sometimes because I could imagine a person involved in an actual event uttering a line said by a fictional character in a movie I once saw. Sometimes, like now, the line occurs to me because of my reaction to the story.
This one falls into the latter category. All afternoon I found myself reading stories about Moss’ impending release by the Vikings even though I knew there wasn’t going to be any new information. Over and over again I read the same sentences, the same words. I couldn’t stop myself, and then I thought of this line:
“I’ve seen the Exorcist about a hundred and sixty seven times and it keeps gettin’ funnier every single time I see it.”
This event, this story, is like a little bit of manna floating down from heaven to Packer fans. Because no matter what happens from here, it’s bad for the Vikings. Think about it. Say he wasn’t actually waived, he stays, and Childress remains as some sort of Eunuch figure head of a coach for the rest of the year. The players know he can’t cut them. He can’t coach. They don’t respect him. They’ll follow Favre or whomever acts like they’re in charge, and the slim chance they have of turning their season around against a soft second half schedule evaporates in smoke. OR, they fire Chilly, turn the keys over to Bevell, or whomever, but it’s Favre who’s really calling the shots, AND the slim chance they have of turning their season around goes up in smoke. OR, they keep Chilly, Cut Moss, the whole locker room hates Chilly, they barely listen to him and their slim chance at reviving their season goes up in smoke.
Oh they’ll win some more games. Their soft second half almost ensures that. They’ll win, say 6 games, maybe 8 at most, just enough, in other words, to keep their draft pick comfortably low.
And Favre gets the nightmare of a season his hubris deserves.
Schadenfreude. It’s what’s for dinner.

TT passes on Moss back in 07
because the price tag was too high and the potential of this happening was also too high. Surprise!
Haters can rip the man all they want for the fact that he doesn’t run the team the way they think he should, but all this is is simply another check in the “Oh, I guess Ted knows what he’s doing,” column.

I find myself questioning TT sometimes
but it seems like I always end up thinking he was right after some time passes.
From letting Favre go and trusting Rodgers, to the CM3 pick, to the Neal pick, to the no-trade-for-Marshawn . . . Sometimes it takes a while, but the man has a vision that he sticks with and I’m liking it!

I was pissed off at TT earlier
But the way his most recent pickups played against the Jets makes me reconsider that maybe the man DOES know what he’s doing.
That said, I keep thinking about Andre Rison in 96 and how he helped us win the SB. He was supposed to a handful, too – could McCarthy control Moss the way Holmgren controlled Rison?
Good for you,
Isn’t it nice to be somebody who, when they expect the worst, hopes to be proven wrong, rather than hoping for the worst so that they can be right?

The other thing I keep coming back to is this:
Childress is the guy the Vikings wouldn’t let us have. Remember? Chilly was coveted by Ted Thompson as both teams were looking for a head coach. He interviewed in Minnesota first, then he was supposed to get on a plane and come to GB.
But he missed his flight. Ted tried to call, no luck. Everything the Packers did to locate him and get him to GB failed.
Why? Because the Vikings had essentially locked the guy in a conference room and threw wads of money at him until he took the deal and gave GB the big kiss off. I’m not a big fan of McCarthy’s, who’s a little too convinced of his own genius for my taste, and who seems to struggle to learn lessons as he coaches. But damn… I’ll take McCarthy over Chilly, whose idea of leadership is to say things without following up on them, let one or two players make their own rules, and who doesn’t know how to utilize the best RB in the game the last 3 seasons.

Speaking of "all day,"
is there another player in the NFL who has “emptier” numbers than Adrian Peterson. Don’t get me wrong, the guy is a stud; every team in the league would kill to have him. It just seems like despite all the numbers, he really doesn’t do anything. They certainly don’t turn to him in crunch time (this is where they really miss Chester Taylor), and he was a big reason why they lost against New Orleans last year.
Does that make any sense, or am I all wet?
No, that makes sense.
Peterson is going to be furious at the end of the year, in all likelihood. What a waste.

That's the word I was looking for - a waste.
Imagine what that guy could do on a good team with some good coaching.
I'd fire Childress for the way he uses AP before i fired him for cutting Moss.

said after his rookie season
that they should trade him. Like you said, he’s a great back, but after watching the way Toby ran on Sunday and how much Taylor flourished there… don’t you think they should see what they can get? If they can get 2 1sts and maybe an average CB I say do it.
Next year they’ll (probably) need a franchise QB, at least 1 WR, a whole mess of DB’s, maybe some d-lineman, and a little help on the o-line… You send him to someone in the top 5 of the draft, I think they need to rebuild cause otherwise they’ll just continue to waste AP and not amount to anything more than a first or second round loss in the playoffs while AP is there
Welllllllll,
is there another player in the NFL who has "emptier" numbers than Adrian Peterson?
Jarred Allen?

I know Thompson wanted to interview Childress but isn’t it a bit of a stretch to say he coveted him? I don’t remember anything like that being intimated related to Thompson. All I remember was that Thompson reportedly wanted to talk to Childress to set an interview.
You've been Stroh'd!!!
Oh, you're right.
Thompson got exactly the man he would have hired anyway, and he walked across Lake Winnebago last weekend.

That's the way I remember it, too.
Childress was just one of the names on Thompson’s short list of candidates.

He was the FIRST person coming in for an interview…there is a reason he was first. Childress was THE guy to get that year. Sometimes things don’t quite work as planned though.
He was a hot coaching prospect...
But something tells me Thompson would have seen thru Childress and saw the lack of leadership ability. Thompson is pretty heady that way, IMO.

We'll let you have him now
and we’ll throw in Allen as well. Best thing that can happen is Childress is fired and Frazier gets to head coach. Even that is a complete mess, but it’s the only salvagable thing I see out of this.

The guys at the Daily Norseman have been claiming they will win the division after every loss. It is so hilarious how it is backfiring on them. But I totally expect to see the vikings be like 2-13 and them STILL claiming they will win the North after beating the Lions and going 3-13.
Agreed
but I think but for Shanahan being a colossal dumbass (taking McNabb out? ARE YOU SERIOUS?) they might have lost that game.

Why all the Childress hate as it relates to Moss…don’t the Vikings have a GM who does the personnel stuff?
Childress fired Moss with out FO approval
At least that is what it looks like currently.

Maybe Moss can file a claim w/ the NFLPA
Saying there were no grounds for his being fired!!! I mean isn’t that the job of a union?!! To protect the rights of its membership? LOL
Course there is that little thing about insubordination, not to mention taking games off!!!
This could be in litigation for the next year before its detemined who gets to take credit for the complete and utter clusterfuch that is the vikings!!!

Well, he wasn't fired.
He will still be paid the terms of his contract, either by the Vikings or someone else, no matter what happens. And if nobody claims him, he could sign a second contract while still getting paid from the first. No, I don’t think Randy is upset from the monetary standpoint.
BTW
Nice of you to stop by and let us all gloat at your expense! Actually good of you.

Honestly right now you just have to flush pride right down the toilet
Take a big drink out of you bottle of rye and sit down and think for a while. Good news is I’m no longer pissed off at our record. Bad news is I think the stadium deal is going to fall through.
It's a lot easier to love the Vikings when they win...
Yes, that's what sucks
While we may look on with glee at what this means to this season, this is really trouble in the long run because nobody wants the Vikings to go west. Sadly this feels like a big push in that direction.
I would say it's almost garunteeing it
a lot of people lost respect and faith with the team when this happened.
It's a lot easier to love the Vikings when they win...
Well, I hope people realize that this is on Childress
Zygi has shown that he’s willing to do what it takes to win, even if that means dumping lots of money to make up for missteps in the past (Jackson) and injuries (Rice). If he wants to stay in Minnesota I think he will save a lot of face by getting rid of Childress at the end of the season if not sooner.
They may go south instead
Reportedly, San Antonio wants a team
They may want one
But aside from a new stadium I don’t see how SA supports a team any better than MSP does.
TX has 2 already…that is enough. I love SA (huge Spurs fan) but honestly I just don’t think they need another team to support out there.
Football reigns supreme in TX
And CA has 3 teams… They bullt a stadium to help attract a possible NFL team didn’t they?!
You've been Stroh'd!!!
Yeah and so does NY (Jets, Giants, Bills)…and Florida (Bucs, Dolphins, Jags) but that doesn’t mean that they NEED three though. Its a small market and a basketball town. I like it as a basketball town!!!
I wonder if Vegas will ever pull a pro team in some sport…they need one there eventually.
Football reigns Supreme in TX.
Who cares if you want it to be just a basketball town? For that matter who cares about Basketball? LOL
TX is all about football state-wide! Small town, but one that would support a football team, IMO. How close is SA to Dallas or Houston?
Vegas will never get an NFL team. NFL wants nothing to do w/ the ramifications of football in the gambling capital of the world!
You've been Stroh'd!!!
Well how well has it worked out for the THIRD team in each of those states:
NY…Buffalo is barely even there and are trying to draw in the Toronto crowd.
FL…Jacksonville is almost going into Timberwolves mode giving tickets away just to sell out.
CA…SD is in danger of losing its team due to stadium related issues
Just cause fans there love football doesn’t mean they need another team. Three teams is a LOT for a state. The size of Texas helps but SA isn’t a huge city. I can’t see the NFL being willing to go for another Jacksonville-like situation (SA is not much different in size from Buffalo and Jacksonville and its MUCH smaller than MSP). The teams are falling apart at all three of these places.
I get that TX is all about football…makes it more appealing but there is NOTHING around SA for them to draw from. Austin is 90 minutes and Houston is about 200 minutes. maybe it happens but I doubt it…unless Red McCombs gets involved. I think that is one of the places he wanted to move the Vikings to back in the day! Would be funny to see him buy the team back to move them.
Childress
SHould have waited for another week to let the vote go down and then fired Moss!!! LOL
If it was up to Wilf I’m sure he would have thought about that. But since childress controls the players on the roster, he did think of it or care… Either way he F*ck Up!!!
You've been Stroh'd!!!
Thats where Wilf fucked up...
If Childress has to go thru a real GM or the owner, Moss would have been released after this week. They would have made Childress deal w/ Moss until after the vote! But since Wilf doesn’t even live in MInn, he isn’t around to keep track of the team enough…
You've been Stroh'd!!!
The answer is yes and no
The Vikings have a mushy front office set up. Typically it’s called the Triangle. The VP of player personnel (Spielman), The VP of football operations (Bryanski or something like that), and then Childress. The three of them theoretically can work together to make these types of calls, but Childress has it in his contract to have the final say over the final 53.
So basically there is no GM over his head. He’s got two peers of a sort and the big boss man who doesn’t dabble too much in the football side of things.
by PackApologist on Nov 2, 2010 1:08 AM CDT up reply actions
So he's essentially HC and GM
More than one Viking fan I talked to last week believed this to be the case. Even before this Moss debacle, I floated the idea that he’d be given the Holmgren Option before next season. Namely: “You can be HC or GM, but not both. Which one do you want?” I thought he’d opt for HC, and so did everyone I talked to about it.
We all thought that was depressing beyond words for the Vikes.

This story is awesome on so many levels.
Favre: finally gets the guy he’s wanted since ’06… only to see him get cut 3 weeks later.
The Vikings: Lose a third round pick to rent Randy for a month.
The Packers: Can sit back and watch their division rival implode.
and last but not least…
Randy Moss: Gets basically kneed in the nuts on national TV. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.
How about this for conspiracy theory--
Pats trade Moss to Vikes in time to help against the Pats biggest divisional competition. (Didn’t quite work out)
Moss “chooses” to disappear during their game vs the Pats allowing a somewhat easy victory for the old team.
Moss gushes about former team and coach and throws Childress under the bus publicly and gets cut for insubordination
Moss possibly clears waivers and Pats sign him back for the minimum and make the Vikes pay the balance of his salary
Belichek laughs all the way to the bank with an extra 3rd round pick AND Moss back for minimum salary
I wouldn’t put it past Belichek.

Anybody else see this article?
As is the team’s custom on Fridays, a local food establishment was invited to the training facility to serve a catered, post-practice meal in the locker room. In this case, a St. Paul restaurant that is a favorite of former Vikings center Matt Birk(notes). As the proprietors helped serve chicken, ribs, pasta and other dishes to Vikings players, Moss paced up and down the serving line and loudly expressed his displeasure with the offerings.
According to one player who witnessed the scene, Moss yelled, "What the [expletive]? Who ordered this crap? I wouldn’t feed this to my dog!"
Said the witness: "It was brutal. The truth is, he deserved to be cut after that. It was such an uncomfortable moment. You know that feeling where you just can tell someone feels so small? That’s what it was like being there.
"This wasn’t a chain – it was a mom-and-pop restaurant, and you could tell it was their best stuff. They had a special carving station set up, and there were players and other support staff lining up to eat it. And [Moss] is at his locker saying, ‘You know, I used to have to eat that crap – but now I’ve got money.’ You just felt so sad for them. I had never seen anyone treated like that.
"And by the way, the food was actually really good."
I did read that
Again, everyone knew that Moss could be a self centered ass at times. This wasn’t a surprise to anyone except Chilly. If you brought in Moss thinking that he would be Mr. Civil and Proper, then you deserve to be fired yourself… which is what most people want to see anyway.

I just read that too but like you said, it’s not like everyone doesn’t know Moss can be self centered. But really, ragging on a food joint? Deserving of getting cut? Not buying it.
I’m just glad he’s gone. No doubt he made their offense better, and helped them. Now they go back to Bernard “I’m the softest receiver in the NFL” Berrian. I also just read from one of the guys over on DN that Harvin might be out a couple of weeks. If that’s true their screwed.

I think they're screwed as well
But until the game is in the L column I will still be nervous because I don’t feel like I can count on the Packers to bury the Vikings by us winning alone.

I’d still like to see us kill the Vikings every year because we were the more physical and dominant team, not because they have a guy who should be coaching the JV team at a Class A High School.
