The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel is reporting that the Packers are supposedly interesting in acquiring temperamental Oakland Raiders wide receiver Randy Moss.

While it may be hard to believe that a man who once pretended to moon the crowd at Lambeau Field during the playoffs could really wear the green and gold, Green Bay is really tired of losing and they’d like to send Brett Favre out on a positive note.

I assumed that it would take a first round draft pick to move Moss from Oakland to Green Bay but according to an NFL personnel director, the chances of the Raiders actually getting a first round pick for Moss are next to none. A second round pick is more likely, according to the source.

While Moss’ track record in Oakland has been downright awful, he hasn’t exactly been playing with Peyton Manning. The past two seasons Moss has been playing with the likes of Kerry Collins and Aaron Brooks. And consider this, if the Raiders take a quarterback with the number one pick, say LSU’s JaMarcus Russell, do you really want Moss nurturing a young quarterback?

The Raiders would be smart to move him, the Packers would be smart to get him.

With Moss, the Packers inch closer to being a moderate threat to the Bears in the NFC Central. With Moss, Donald Driver and Greg Jennings, Brett Favre would have a lot of options in, what some would hope, will be his last season. If they take a defensive player with their first round pick or even a running back, Mel Kiper has them taking Cal running back Marshawn Lynch, the Packers could be a very interesting team in the fall.

While some Packer fans will see this for it is (their team trying to get Brett Favre to the playoffs one last time), I still think dealing for Moss will be a tough pill to swallow for some of Packer nation.
