Hitman#21 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 @michaelombardi: Filed to NFL net Moss waived ES Staff appended edit: ... Vikings players confirmed Monday that coach Brad Childress informed them during a team meeting of his intention to waive Moss less than a month after acquiring him in a trade with New England. NFL Network's Michael Lombardi first reported Moss' release. Moss has yet to be informed by the team of his release, though he is assuming at this point he will be waived, a source with knowledge of the situation told NFL Network inside Jason La Canfora. Childress did not tell management of his desire to part with Moss, according to Lombardi, but Childress did tell the team that Moss would be waived. Childress has control over the 53 man roster. The league has released Monday's waiver wire to authorized personnel, and Moss is not included on it, a source with access to the wire told La Canfora. The deadline for daily transactions is 4 p.m. The Vikings could still elect to waive Moss later this week. Childress told the team he would do so today, but a source said others in the organization were not of the same mind. ... Fox Sports and NFL Network's Jay Glazer reports that Vikings players were taken by surprise by Childress' announcement and are "livid" over the move. Childress and team officials didn't respond to messages seeking confirmation of the decision. Moss's locker at Winter Park remained full of his practice gear when it was open to reporters in the afternoon. About an hour before the news came out, Childress took 12 consecutive questions during his regular news conference about Moss, his effort, and his mindset in response to a rant by Moss following Sunday night's 28-18 loss to the Patriots. Moss, who was fined $25,000 last week for failing to cooperate with the media and make himself regularly available for interviews, stepped to the podium after the game but announced he wouldn't take any questions. He repeatedly expressed admiration for coach Bill Belichick and his former team and criticized the Vikings for not taking enough of his game-planning advice. Moss had only one catch for 8 yards against the Patriots. In four games for the Vikings, he had 13 receptions for 174 yards and two touchdowns. Childress didn't mention the move when he talked to reporters Monday and said Moss was staying back in the Boston area for a few days to spend time with family. Asked whether he regretted acquiring Moss, the coach said "not at present." ...

terrifNick21 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Rumor has it the reason the Vikings cut Randy Moss is because he cost Brad Childress his fantasy game this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
