| 28th April, 2007 - 12:50 pm |  San Francisco Chronicle - The Raiders shopped wide receiver Randy Moss around the league today, hoping to unload the disgruntled wide receiver and his hefty salary on the eve of the NFL Draft, multiple league and team sources confirmed.
New Raiders coach Lane Kiffin spent part of Friday trying to attract a first-day draft pick in exchange for Moss, who has not backed down from trade demands that began midway through last season.
The Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots are believed to have talked with the Raiders, but neither was willing to give up the asking price -- believed to be something as high as a second-round draft pick in today's draft.
"Nothing's been finalized," one team source said Friday, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
A five-time Pro Bowl star in Minnesota, Moss has been a disappointment since the Raiders traded for him two years ago. He struggled with injuries in 2005, then complained openly throughout last season, when he had a career-low 42 catches for 553 yards.
He is owed more than $11 million in guaranteed money the next two seasons, making him the highest-paid player on the roster. [READ] |
