Randy Moss' bizarre press conference Sunday night wound up being his farewell to Minnesota.
NFL Network's Michael Lombardi reports that the Vikings waived Moss on Monday. At his Monday press conference, Vikings coach Brad Childress mentioned that he allowed Moss to stay back in Boston for a few days before re-joining the team. Looks like he can stay there.
We have no reason to believe the story is not true, but PFT can report via a league source that Moss is not yet aware that he's been released.
Moss would now be subject to leave waiver rules and could be claimed by any team. The Bills would have the first crack at him because they have the worst record.
Lombardi writes that Childress inform the Vikings in a team meeting that Moss was out.
Perhaps there was more to the story of Moss not returning with the team on Sunday night. Maybe Moss' press conference frustrated Childress more than he let on and they say the direction his lack of cooperation with the team was going.
Either way, two different teams have decided in the second time in a month that Moss' declining production was no longer worth all the trouble of keeping him around.
At least the Patriots got a third-round pick out of it.
