Moss And Others On The Move

         Earlier this week the Minnesota Vikings released Randy Moss Just 4 weeks after trading for him. Moss returned to his original team but never really felt welcome when he returned. Another player that switched teams this week is Shawne Merriman who was claimed off waivers by the Buffalo Bills. Merriman has been injury prone but is looking for a fresh start in Buffalo.

          Moss after a controversial press conference on Sunday Oct. 31 was released on monday November 1 and was then picked up by the Tennessee Titans later in the week. Moss was released by the Vikings because of his bad attitude and his presence in the locker room. Jeff Fischer, the coach of the Titans, says  "We've got a great locker room. They'll accept him. I'm confident he'll accept his new teammates as well." This looks like a great fit for Moss as the Titans are a great team and our currently in first place so I think Moss will be a big help for the Titans now that he is on a contending team. Moss will also be a go to reciever as some of the current Titan recievers are currently injured.
         Merriman another player on the move this week is moving from the west coast to upstate New York and will be playing for the Buffalo Bills. Merriman was one of the best linebackers in the league his first 3 seasons but in that last couple seasons he has been injured and has not been the same player. The Bills are hoping he can return to form and help out the pass rush and help the Bills win which is something the Bills have yet to do this year. Current linebacker for the Bills, Chris Kelsay says "We need more playmakers," Shawne Merriman is a big playmaker and if he can return to the Merriman of old then he will help the Bills out immensely.
