Well apparently he is done

I will find it hard to believe not one team would pick him up. I’m just saying. Don’t be surprised if the Jets try to get him if they don’t land Holmes and/or Edwards. Yes, give him a one year try out deal. I also think T.O. is going somewhere. Teams will pick up these guys. But, regardless, they’re HOFers (if you hate them or like them). What are your guys super bowl picks? GO PACK GO! Not good at predicting scores at all, but 24-21 sounds not too bad.

Brad–I’ve heard from sources that I consider to be fairly reliable that there is a lot of opinion that Moss is done. The basic feeling is that no team will offer him anything other than a Veteran minimum, come in and prove it type contract–and Moss may be too stubborn to take that.

I’m not saying it’s a definite, but that’s just some of what I’ve been hearing.

When T.O. retires in about a year, I would like imagine Andre Reed, Cris Carter, and Tim Brown would all be in the hall before T.O. is eligible. I expect Randy Moss to play at least 3 more seasons. But, I don’t think T.O. or Randy Moss are first ballots. I have a feeling they might wait as long as Cris and Tim are. But, Randy could pad his stats if he lands a good team. Jets cough cough. haha. If they can’t sign Holmes and Edwards, I say if he is a free agent, pick up Randy. Or Plaxico for that matter. Great players. But they will sign Holmes IMO, and maybe Edwards. They might let him walk. And they could draft one . Well see.

And for the second year in a row Reed advanced to the final 10 while Carter and Brown did not. Looks like Carter and Brown fans are going to upset again next year. Really the voters are going to need to sort out this mess at WR and pull together enough votes to get one of them elected rather then keep spliting the votes among the three.

I can’t believe Cris Carter or Tim Brown didn’t make it. But I understand- the Shannon Sharpe, Richard Dent,and Ed Sabol picks. Deion Sanders and Marshall Marshall Marshall (Chris Berman voice) were locks. C-Mart is ahead of Jerome Bettis according to the voting. Glad to see that. Curtis was more consistent. 4th most rushing yards. Besides LT, no one active is threatening it yet. But players like Chris Johnson and AP can get there.

@Ron – Walt Coleman is NFL Elite? Everything I’ve read has said that he technically got the call right, even if the rule was kind of stupid.

Carter was a loudmouth, no doubt about that. But I don’t remember him having any problems going across the middle–no more than several other big name WR, anyway. And either way, his numbers warrant his election to the HOF…eventually.

I agree Tony P, but as to correcting the systems unless the maximum number of elected players was expanded to 10 or more (not a step I would advocate for) there are always going to be backlogs and deserving players waiting way too many years to get elected. The only change I would recommend, and have seen some discussion and support for, is having a separate election catagory for contributors every few years so they are not taking spots from players.

Brown is a true Champion and Carter nothing but a big mouth who never ran accross the field and took a hit. Sideline Cris is my name for Carter.

Tim Brown should have made this class. Don’t blame him for playing for the Raiders and Al Davis. NFL never rules for the Raiders on anything. Recall the TUCK RULE, Patriots should never played in that Super Bowl because the elite of the NFL hates uncle Al.
