Title: T.O. to the Raiders???
Post by DUKE0313 on Jun 30^th, 2005, 4:39pm

WPVI, a Philadelphia TV station is reporting that there "may" be trade talks between Philly and Oakland.
The Raiders would get T.O. in exchange for Jerry Porter. Any chance of this really happening and, if so, how would it affect the value of the players involved.
No link yet, but hope for one soon.

It's a rumor at this point. The rumor started out on the West Coast by someone who just thought it would be interesting if Moss and Owens were on the same team. The rumor has been around for a few weeks now, but it became national when someone asked Randy Moss how he would feel about playing with TO. I don't think there is anything to it because Oakland wouldn't be able to fit TO under the salary cap given his salary demands.

Wow...I've gotta pull my head out once in a while...hadn't heard that one. Hope it's nothing but a rumor...I own Moss and would hate to see him devalued by such a thing!

Sorry, guys. I've been busy with work and holiday prep, so I just saw this. It bounced around Raider Nation for about a heart beat and we all laughed.

The trade rumors are totally bogus. Just some so-called journalist trying to get some air time.

Here are a couple of links:
