Just heard this on ESPN radio via Sirius. Anyone got a link for this? I've got both Owens and Moss in a $$$ keeper league, so this is obviously going to suck if true.
TIA.

Yahoo Sports wrote:Update: A report has surfaced that the Eagles are in negotiations with the Raiders on a trade that would send Owens to Oakland for Jerry Porter, according to ABC sports.
Recommendation: Randy Moss told reporters Wednesday he could co-exist with Owens as long as he receives the number of passes he deserves. We doubt that the two receivers would get along in Oakland but the Eagles appear to be so upset with Owens that they would be willing to put the best two receivers in the league on the same team. This would initially cloud the value of both players but stay tuned for more rumors.

Has this been a rumor for long?

I heard this rumor many weeks ago, Prime.
With Al, I guess you never say never, BUT, it would shock me if it actually happened.
Not enough balls to go around ...... ?
Hell, not enough $$$ to go around.

There is still a salary cap in football, correct? :?

Except for the Raydahs and Redskins, yes.
Don't forget the Donks. They got busted.

Owens makes $3 mill this year and can be cut before his 2006 contact year so the Raiders probably could afford the upcoming year's contract with no problem.
If they did make that trade I'd love to see how Moss and Owens got along.. 2 guys, with HUGE egos who each want the ball on every down coexisting?
I don't think so.

If this happens, Lamont Jordan becomes a top five fantasy back. He will never face more than 7 men in the box as long as Moss and Owens are both on the field.

trade will never happen.. the raiders would have to pay Porters signing bonus and it's something like $7-$8 mill this year.. at least from what I heard on the radio.
Apparently this rumor was started by Rosenhaus.

And some tool bag reporter who got a soundbite of Moss saying he could play with him.... That means its true- don't ya know!
