As the Vikings move closer to bringing back receiver Randy Moss -- a source close to the action has pegged the percentage chance of the deal going down “in the high nineties” -- it’s time to start thinking about the impact of the deal on the team for which Moss played from 1998 through 2004.
For starters, a league source tells us that second-year wideout Percy Harvin is “excited” about the prospect of Moss joining the team. Harvin currently has no one to absorb attention from him in the passing game, and Moss will stretch the field, opening up the underneath stuff that Harvin has the quickness to execute well.
As one source explained it, Harvin “is a better Wes Welker.” If that’s the case, look for both Moss and Harvin to have potentially big numbers in their first season together.
