The end of the NFL lockout is near as the players and the owners seem to be very close on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) and once the new deal gets the green light the teams around the league can start wheeling-and-dealing shortly thereafter. With so many talented free agents at skill positions when the new CBA gets finalized, a lot of teams around the league will be doing everything within their power to improve their squads by signing these free agents.
The one free agent that has the entire league buzzing right now is the recently rehabilitated veteran wide receiver Plaxico Burress. Even though Burress could ultimately turn out to be bust and over-the-hill, the resurgence of quarterback Michael Vick (Philadelphia Eagles) last season has really gotten Plaxico’s stock to rise recently.
Even though a lot of teams in need of a downfield threat heading into next season will be going after Plaxico Burress, the one other veteran wide receiver that could get the same amount of interest is perennial Pro Bowler Randy Moss.
So far, Moss has been linked to quite a few teams like the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Jets, but something interesting happen recently as the Oakland Raiders could be thinking about bringing in their former wideout.
It is no secret that the Oakland Raiders and the Randy Moss relationship was a disaster from the word go, but the team made a drastic turnaround last season and is in desperate need of a downfield threat like Randy Moss. With Moss taking much less money these days, the veteran wideout might be open to returning to Oakland if they will have him.
If Randy Moss does return to the Raiders, Oakland will have one of the most dynamic offenses in the league with a dominant running game and a potent passing attack. It will be interesting to see just how serious the Raiders will be about bringing in a player that caused so much trouble for them a few years back.
