RUMORS FLY OF RODGERS FOR MOSS
Word has reached PFT world headquarters of a rumored trade that would send Oakland Raiders receiver Randy Moss to the Green Bay Packers for quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
We're told that the Raiders want a first-round pick for Moss, and that the Packers have countered with an offer of Rodgers, who was Green Bay's first round pick in the 2005 draft.
Stay tuned. Though we never would have imagined that Moss and Packers quarterback Brett Favre could coexist, it looks like this one could indeed be going down.

ANTONIO TO GET THE HEAVE-HO?
Kevin Lynch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that the 49ers could soon be terminating the contract of receiver Antonio Bryant.
Per the Chronicle, both the team and the player are evaluating whether his release would be "mutually beneficial."
But how does it benefit Bryant to be cut from a contract that he signed before he was arrested for driving more than 100 miles per hour, had to be restrained when taken into custody, squabbled with the head coach, and was suspended for four games for violation of the substance abuse policy. Will he get a better deal on the open market in the wake of these various developments?
(In all fairness, we should have started calling him "Anturdio" a long time ago.)
Cutting Bryant would result in a $2.28 million cap hit, and it would leave the team short at the receiver position.
It also would be difficult, in our view, for Bryant to find elsewhere the $1.25 million in salary he's scheduled to earn in 2007, given that his suspension carries over to the first two games of the 2007 season.
