VIKES TO PULL A REVERSE HERSCHEL
In a mirror-image of their 1989 blockbuster trade for Cowboys running back Herschel Walker, the Minnesota Vikings are close to trading receiver Randy Moss to the Arizona Cardinals for a truckload of picks and players, including the No. 3 overall pick in this month's draft, according to a source close to Moss.
The Vikings undoubtedly would try to replace Moss by taking the best available receiver with the No. 3 pick, and they're surely hoping that local product Larry Fitzgerald is available after the Chargers and Raiders use the first and second picks, respectively.
The Vikings also would get the Cardinals' second-round and third-round picks in 2004, along with their first-rounder and third-rounder in 2005 and the Cards' second-round and third-round picks in 2006.
Arizona defensive end Calvin Pace, the team's second first-rounder in 2003, and linebacker Gerald Hayes, the 2003 third-rounder, likewise will trade crimson for purple once the deal is done.
The move reunites Moss with Denny Green, who nabbed the receiver after he plunged through the first round of the 1998 draft, falling behind guys like Ryan Leaf, Andre Wadsworth, Curtis Enis, Duane Starks, Jason Peter, Kevin Dyson, Robert Edwards, Vonnie Holliday, and Terry Fair. As a rookie, Moss fueled the Vikes to a 15-1 record and a coulda-woulda-shoulda Super Bowl berth that crashed to earth after kicker Gary Anderson hooked a game-clinching field goal against the Falcons.
