Favre Willing to Overlook 'Disgusting Act,' Moss Could Be an Option in Green Bay

Last year, before the Patriots ripped off the Raiders by sending them a fourth-round pick for supposedly washed up Randy Moss, there was speculation that he could end up in Green Bay. Brett Favre lamented the sorry state of the Packers receivers*, and mentioned Moss as potential quick fix. Didn't happen.

A year later, it might. Okay, it's still a long shot, but the chances are better now than they were, say, a week ago. From NFL Network's Adam Schefter:

Those who know Moss say he is inching closer to the point of frustration at the lack of progress he has made for a new deal with the Patriots. The longer the Patriots wait to sign him, the more they invite other teams to begin recruiting Moss....

With Favre nearing a decision on his future –- some believe he will inform Green Bay of his plans as early as this week -– the Packers could make the decision for him. If they signed Moss now, those who know Favre believe it would be a dead-lock cinch for the Packers quarterback to play another season.

So basically, landing Moss guarantees Favre comes back for at least one more year (and even if he doesn't, I'm guessing Aaron Rodgers wouldn't mind starting his career with Moss running go routes all day). Given all the loot Green Bay threw at Charles Woodson two years ago, ponying up some money for Moss isn't a completely insane idea. In fact, it makes a lot of sense.

The Packers were already favorites in the NFC North; with Moss they immediately become favorites to make it to the Super Bowl. Let's just hope Joe Buck's head doesn't explode at the thought that Moss might do something truly disgusting. And when I say "truly disgusting," I mean "absurdly hilarious to people who don't take themselves way too seriously.".
