Moss traded to Raiders

Good trade for the Vikings. They're getting rid of a distraction who caused many headaches. This year the Vikings proved their offense can be good without Moss. I don't believe you build a team around a receiver. The resources the Vikings used on Moss can be put to much better use. The Vikings also got a high draft pick and a good linebacker, which was one of their weaknesses last year.

Average trade for the Raiders. I was about to criticize them for signing Porter to a big contract. He has not been able to become a number one receiver as Rice and Brown's skills deteriorated. As a number two Porter will be fine, and he and Moss will make a good tandem. Also, Kerry Collins is a good quarterback for Moss. The Raiders offense will be better next year.

Here's my problem with the Raiders making the deal: I don't believe teams should be built around receivers. Sure you need good receivers to be successful, but how many Super Bowl teams were built around a superstar receiver? Jerry Rice was the best receiver in the world, but he was also surrounded by Hall of Fame quarterbacks and All Pros. When a team commits to an enormous contract for a wide receiver it makes it much tougher for them to build a well balanced team.

Finally, good trade for the NFL. Moss was born to be a Raider
