MOSS TO DALLAS?

We’ve mused from time to time about the possibility of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones correcting one of the biggest mistakes he ever made. Ten years ago, Jones was leaning toward selecting receiver Randy Moss with the eighth overall pick in the draft.

In the end, Jones passed.

Later that year, Moss caught three passes for three touchdowns in a Minnesota win over the Cowboys on Thanksgiving.

So with Moss destined to hit the open market on Friday, could Jones’ recent vow to put “wow” in the offense result in a decision to add Moss?

Think about it. Who in the heck would the defenses double-team? Focus on T.O., and Moss is wide open. Focus on Moss, and Owens runs free. Focus on both, and Jason Witten makes a helmetless rumble to the end zone.

John Czarnecki of FOXSports.com writes that the Patriots and Moss aren’t close to a new deal, and that the Pats believe that Moss will give them a chance to match any offer that he receives on the open market.

Most intriguingly, the Czar acknowledges the existence of a rumor that the Cowboys will make a play for Moss.

Still, if there’s concern about T.O. and Javon Walker not being able to co-exist, the entire NFL should get its popcorn ready to watch Owens explode when Moss rolls into town with the kind of contract Owens would love to have. Instantly, Owens would be politicking for a dollar-for-dollar match of Randy’s deal, and it would only go downhill from there.

So, obviously, we’re secretly hoping that the Cowboys sign Moss.
