Randy Moss-to-Packers Rumors Picking Up Steam

Those rumors about Raiders receiver Randy Moss going to the Patriots seem far-fetched, but the rumors that he'll join Packers are looking increasingly likely. Reports say Packers general manager Ted Thompson is outlining how the Packers might pull off such a trade with the Raiders and team management is meeting today to discuss a potential trade.

And now I've heard from one source who says there's a growing belief in Green Bay that the trade is a done deal, and that the Packers and the Raiders have already worked out the parameters of the trade. The Packers want to talk to Moss's agent about restructuring his contract, but it sounds like this could happen soon.

At the same time, we're still putting this in the "NFL Gossip" and "NFL Rumors" sections of FanHouse for a reason -- there are a lot of details involved in trading a player with a huge contract like Moss, and if any one of those details hits a snag, the trade won't happen. But Moss leaving Oakland for Green Bay looks more likely than ever before.

UPDATE: The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that contrary to previous reports, backup quarterback Aaron Rodgers would not be part of the deal, but that defensive linemen Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila and Corey Williams could be.
