The Vikings just recently acquired Randy Moss from the Patriots for a third round draft pick. One of the greatest deep threats at WR ever for a third round pick. I would make that deal in a heart beat.
Looking at it from the Patriots point of view it looks like they are crazy. But really they are staying true to their own philosophy of not paying big bucks for players. Moss' contract is up at the end of the year and he made it clear that he wanted to get a big contract. Even though the connection between Brady and Moss was like a match made in heaven, the Pats didn't even hesitate to ship Moss out. Knowing them they will found another stud at wideout in no time and be fine. They did pull Welker out of no where and Brady was a 6th round pick after all.
Looking at it from the Vikings point of view doesn't even require thought. They are 1-2 and have injury problems at the WR position. (When in a previous post I said they would be fine, I had no idea that meant bringing back Moss) For everyone, including myself, who said Favre couldn't put up the numbers he did last year, well we might be biting our tongues now. Moss is all gun slinging Brett needs, a deep threat he can chuck it up to. And somehow the Vikings look to be a super bowl contender sitting at 1-2.
