On the first day of November, Randy Moss has been released from the Minnesota Vikings. A surprise to most people, Moss had been reunited with his first team for just under a month.
Moss, who came from New England for a third round pick on October 6th, is now on waivers.
"This decision was made based on what we thought was in the best interests of the Minnesota Vikings, both in the short and long [term]. We wish Randy the best as he moves forward in his career." head coach Brad Childress said.
Moss had only one catch in his return to New England on Sunday.
The Seattle Seahawks and Miami Dolphins are supposedly the two teams showing the most interest in the wide receiver.
A shock to many, including myself, that Moss was waived. I fully expected him to finish out the season with the Vikings. But with this news, a new team is almost certain for Moss before Sunday.
I think the Seattle Seahawks make a lot of sense. Pete Carrol would keep him under controll, and he would get solid playing time. Matt Hasselbeck would love to throw to him, and i could see Moss having a great end to this year with the 'Hawks.
Though moving his family completely across the country may not be ideal for Moss and could impact this decision.
For now though, Moss will be looking for his third team in only eight weeks.

Trent Edwards to Jacksonville
Trent Edwards was released by the Bills on Monday, and already has found a new home south of Buffalo. The Jacksonville Jaguars claimed Edwards off waivers on Tuesday.
The Jaguars are 1-2, and the play of David Garrard is not helping. Luke McCown was the only other quarterback on the team. But in San Diego two weeks ago, McCown replaced Garrard only to then go down with a torn ligament that will keep him out for the whole season.
Todd Bouman also was signed by the Jaguars. Though mostly just because he already knows the offence.
Edwards, a third round pick out of Stanford in 2007. Always playing inconsistent in Buffalo and was constantly splitting snaps with Ryan Fitzpatrick. A fresh start in Jacksonville, and the guarantee of playing time with how bad Garrard is, could mean a chance for redemption and to get his career on track.
Buffalo re-signed rookie QB Levi Brown to take Edwards spot.
Overall, a good move by both Buffalo and Jacksonville. Although a more experienced quarterback might have been nicer. Maybe Jeff Garcia who right now is in the UFL could be a better pick up.
New Orleans also signed 46 year old kicker John Carney, and Seattle signed veteran receiver Brandon Stokely while releasing RB Quinton Ganther, and OL Mansfield Wrotto and Mike Gibson.
