Those of you calling for us to sign Moss seem to have forgotten that he plays WR, not OC. And he's known for compounding issues when things aren't going well for a franchise. See his tenure in Oakland and his performance last night.
Adding Moss to our situation would be one of the dumbest moves in NFL history.

Spoke to someone who perused Monday's waiver wire three times - Randy Moss is on it. Was not waived by 4pm deadline

Vikings could opt to waive him later, as Chilly told the team he would, but I'm told others in management not sold on cutting Moss

If the 9ers claim Moss, it would cost us his current salary (3+million) for 8 games. He is a FA after the year, is it really worth it for a 2-6 team to pay Moss for 8 games ?
i think so. in fact, i'd rather do that than be on the hook for a longer contract. He would be a rental. If the team truly believes they can still make the playoffs, they should try to get him.
Does anyone actually believe with Moss we could win 7 of our last 8 games ?
5 games against division opponents though. I think you can make the argument that if we win all 5 of those games and 1 game against Tampa, GB or San Diego we have a pretty good chance at the playoffs.
Is 8-8 good enough to win this division ? Can we actually win 6 of 8 games, 5 of which are divisional ? Will Moss want to be here and will he clash or coincide with Sing's personality...which Moss shows up here ?
There are a lot of IF's and questions that surround this all and I am not sure he provides all the answers to the questions.
Would Randy Moss increase the chances of making the Playoffs? Hell Yea.
Is 3 mil. worth a potential playoff spot? Hell f**king Yea.
How much do our chances actually increase ? You still need 6-7 wins out of 8 games.
And answer these questions :
Does Randy know the offense ?
Does Randy have chemistry with whomever is our QB ?
Doe Randy want to play here ?
Will Randy quit on plays or this team ?
Will Randy clash with Sing ?

Huh? He's was ON it, but not waived? Must be a typo by JLC...

Gonna state the obvious here, but this looks awful for the Vikings, and Chilly in particular. What a mess.

Sorry, want to make this totally clear. Moss was NOT on Monday waiver wire. NOT. NOT. Sorry (my kids are driving me nuts right now).

For a dynamic veteran like Moss, he would absolutely increase those chances. It would create all kinds of match up problems for the defense and it would open up the field for Crabs, V. Davis and Gore.
You still need 6-7 wins out of 8 games.
5 of those games are against teams in our division, which is the worst division in football and 1 game against the Bucs whom are beatable.
Does Randy know the offense ? See Crabs last season and Moss is a veteran
Does Randy have chemistry with whomever is our QB ? See Crabs last season
Does Randy want to play here ? Who gives a f**k, this is his last chance if he wants a big contract next season.
Will Randy quit on plays or this team ? Then you would release him not a huge loss. The reward would outweigh the risk
Will Randy clash with Sing ? I don't think anyone on this planet can clash with Sing and get away with it...See Vernon Davis.

Minnesota was 1-3 with Moss and he wasn't giving 100% to that organization and he wasn't producing like the Moss of old with Brady or Favre as his QB. Why is he going to come in here and be any different ?
