Do you recall when the Green Bay Packers were interested in acquiring receiver Randy Moss?
Moss had just spent two seasons with the Oakland Raiders. The Packers seemed to become interested in trading for the former Minnesota Vikings star because Brett Favre wanted them to. In fact, Favre was even willing to give up some of his salary so the Packers could get Moss.
It never happened. The New England Patriots ended up flipping a fourth-round pick for Moss. He gave them three 1,ooo-yard seasons.
Favre was ticked. We all blasted general manager Ted Thompson.
Why didn’t the trade happen?
