Adam Schefter is reporting at NFL.com that the Raiders and Patriots have agreed to a trade that will send Randy Moss to New England. Moss is in New England right now taking a physical with the Patriots' team doctors, and if he passes the physical, the Patriots will ship a fourth-round pick in today's draft to Oakland in exchange for Moss.If Moss is on his best behavior, this gives New England the highest-profile move of what has already been an outstanding off-season. Schefter is reporting that Moss has promised the team he won't be a distraction and that he's excited about playing for a contender.
Moss already has agreed to dramatically restructure his contract, which is scheduled to pay him $9.75 million this coming season. New England was the one and only place Moss would agree to take a reduced contract, and he did so knowing that he would have the chance to win a Super Bowl. With the offseason that New England has had, no team in football has a better chance.
Schefter reports that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was actively lobbying for the trade.
