Our waiting is over!
I don't like the offers im hearing but this FoxSports article that was posted a few minutes ago is pretty good. If there is a way to get a deal like this done the Cardinals should do it. Boldin is a very good reciever but Moss is a top flight, game changing home run WR which the Cardinals haven't had since Roy Green. Fitz, Moss, and B.Johnson would be a deadly combination. Heres the story:
Will the Vikings look to move Moss?

Randy Moss' act in Minnesota is getting old and it's time for the Vikings to ship him out of town. At least that's the noise coming from both major papers in the Twin Cities.
Moss, who essentially missed five games this season with a hamstring injury, finished the year with 49 catches for 767 yards and 13 touchdowns. But his production was overshadowed by his controversial actions, like the well-documented "mooning" in Green Bay as well as his decision leave the game against Washington when there were still two seconds left on the clock.
Actions like those, as well as issues from his past in Minnesota, have opened up the rumor mill in the Twin Cities and have led many to wonder if Moss is worth all the trouble that follows him.
Leading up to, and then following, the Vikings' season-ending loss to the Eagles on Sunday, a game in which Moss had as many drops (three) as he did receptions, sports writers from the Star Tribune and the St. Paul Pioneer Press speculated how the Vikings might deal with Moss this off-season.
They also looked at possible ways the Vikings might be able to ship him out of town.
"Like every NFL team, the Vikings hold a series of personnel meetings before developing an off-season plan for improving the roster," Kevin Seifert wrote in Saturday's Tribune. "For seven years, their fundamental starting point was always the same: building around Moss, their once-in-a-lifetime receiving talent. Now, after a two-week stretch in which Moss has embarrassed the organization countless times, that position might change.
"While the odds remain that Moss will return in 2005, there are highly placed members of the organization who are exasperated with him. At the very least, they plan to initiate a substantive internal discussion about Moss and his future with the franchise this off-season."
Bob Sansevere suggested in Monday's Pioneer Press that the Vikings start looking around the league to find a team that might want to make a trade for Moss.
"It's time to put out feelers and see what Moss could bring in a trade," Sansevere said. "Every team still in the playoffs has a defense capable of shutting down offenses; when was the last time you could say that about a Vikings defense?"
Sansevere speculated that the Vikings might want to contact Arizona, whose head coach, Denny Green, was in charge of the Vikings when they drafted Moss out of college.
"First on the phone list should be Arizona Cardinals coach Denny Green. The former Vikings coach has three players who could give the Vikings the kind of defense that would help them navigate deep into the postseason — end Bert Berry, who led the NFC with 14.5 sacks, strong safety Adrian Wilson and tackle Darnell Dockett.
"Green drafted Moss and always has believed you can outscore teams if you load up with offensive talent."
Moss has four years left of the eight-year, $75 million extension that he signed in 2001. He is set to earn $7.5 million next season. And while he is still one of the best receivers in the NFL, his whole package might be too much for the Vikings to deal with.
