Randy Moss is returning back to where his Hall of Fame career began, Minnesota. The New England Patriots traded Moss to the Minnesota Vikings Tuesday for a third round draft pick.
The Vikings needed another option for Brett Favre while Sidney Rice is injured. Moss, who may not stick around after this year, is what management thought could fill the gap and help the Vikings make the playoff push.
The Vikings who are 1-2 need help to win the tough division with the Packers and Bears who are both out to good starts.
Minnesota drafted Randy Moss in 1998 with the 21st pick. Teams passed on the Marshall alumni due to off the field issues. But Moss helped Minnesota to a top ranked offense in 1998, won rookie of the year, and a 15-1 record.
New England may have let Moss go due to a reported argument between Moss and a coach during halftime of Mondays win against the Miami Dolphins.
Minnesota trading for Moss may help a little, but I do not see it as enough to help the Vikings get to the playoffs.

Marshawn Lynch To Seattle
Bills RB Marshawn Lynch has been traded to the Seattle Seahawks for a 4th round pick in Aprils draft. The deal happened on Tuesday.
This deal really helps both teams in my opinion. Bills fans wanted Lynch gone because of the off the field issues. Seattle gets a great running back, who is young, for next to nothing. But in the end, Seattle gets the better end here.
Julius Jones was released by the Seahawks today to make room for Lynch. No suprise, and Jones should have been gone long ago.
Lynch should be ready to play on October 17th for Seattle against Chicogo.

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.
