I think that there should some sort of rule that says that if a team trades a player away and receive a draft pick in exchange...and then the player gets cut/waived and ends up back on his original team, they should have to give back the draft pick that team originally received for the player.



And if Moss does wind up with the Pats, you will likely see such a rule in the future.  Much like the Chargers as a play off team picking before many non-playoff teams changed the draft order.

He has considerably more years than is required not to go to the waiver wire.  

If you watched his press conference after the game, it is pretty clear what team his agent is calling first.  

From what I'm reading on several sites, after the trading deadline, all players have to go thru the waiver process. A few of the sites have actually referenced Chris Chambers from last year as an example

This is unbelievable. There has got to be much more than this. Brad Childress / Rick Spielman are two incompetents trying to run a team.

He is on waivers for 24 hours.  Buffalo is first in line.  The team that picks him up would have to pay him for 9 games.

^^ NFL Network says very clearly that Minnesota is on the hook for his whole season's contract if he is claimed but he would be a FA at the end of the season.

If he clears waivers, he's free to sign anywhere on their own dime.

I know it is a pipe dream but I think Miami should put a claim on hiim just to keep the Pats from being able to take him. Would be kind of nice to Have Moss on one side and Marshall on the other.

Quote from espn.com:

Moss is available on the waiver wire until Tuesday afternoon. A team can claim him and pick up the final year of a contract that pays him $6.4 million a year. If no one claims him, the Vikings owe him the remaining $3.888 million of his deal and he's available for around $450,000 with Moss picking the team he would like to join.

Is that really a good enough reason to take a guy; to keep another team from taking him?

Particularly if the guy wants to go to said team and has a history of forcing himself out of places he doesn't want to be.

Dolphins get Moss off of waivers. Randy is not used much in the offense and knows that the only reason why the Dolphins claimed him was to prevent him from returning to Tom Brady. 

This would not end well for the Dolphins.

Completely disagree.  If one team can be that stupid, they should have to pay the price.  And if one team can be that smart, they should be rewarded.

As Bill Simmons said:

Note to Pats: Sign Moss just so "Pats trade Randy Moss to Minnesota for a 3rd round pick and Randy Moss" can run on ESPN's ticker.
