DMN Blog: So much for the Moss rumors

by Tim MacMahon

I don't think anybody around these parts took the Randy Moss-to-Dallas rumors very seriously. But if you were hoping that the Cowboys would pair Moss with T.O. in what would perhaps be the most talented/combustible WR combo in NFL history, prepare to have your heart broken.

AOL Sports reports that Moss has agreed to a multi-year deal to remain a Patriot.

Now, if you want to get your hopes up about a big-name WR addition, hop on the Javon Walker bandwagon.

There's no way the Cowboys will work out a trade with the Broncos. Walker is due a $5 million roster bonus next week. Why would the Cowboys give up a draft pick for the right to pay that bonus when the Broncos will release Walker anyway? (Unless, as the Denver Post reports is a possibility, little Danny Snyder is dumb enough to trade for Walker.)

Walker's recent injury history is scary, but he's put up totals of 2,466 yards and 20 TDs in his last two healthy seasons. He also has a great relationship with Cowboys WR coach Ray Sherman from their days in Green Bay.
