Randy Moss is going back to where he got it all started at.
The 33-year old Seven-time Pro Bowler was traded on Wednesday to the Minnesota Vikings, as the New England Patriots received a 2011 3rd round draft pick in return.
The deal gives Brett Favre immediate help at wide receiver, as Sidney Rice is not expected to return for another three weeks following offseason hip surgery.
Favre now gets his wish, as he previously was denied an attempt to play with Moss in 2007 (as a member of the Green Bay Packers):
“This is an exciting move; I think everybody feels that in the locker room. It’s rare you get to play with a future Hall of Famer and get to appreciate their talents up close. Randy Moss is a great player and his career speaks for itself. I’ve admired him from a distance for a long time, and you can’t help but be impressed by the guy.”
Moss will be eligible to make his Vikings season debut on Monday night when they visit the Jets.
He’ll return to New England on October 31st to face the Patriots.
