Profootballtalk.com, the highly entertaining Web site which has broken more than its share of stories, reports that Jacksonville assistant Mike Tice is lobbying management to swing a deal with the Raiders for Randy Moss.

As stated in this space two days ago, a deal for Moss appears unlikely,and the Web site specifies some of the same reasons I did.

But I wouldn’t discount it completely for one reason _ when Moss was traded from Minnesota to Oakland, PFT had it well before anyone else. Having scoffed at their story at the time, I won’t make that mistake again.

To review, dealing Moss would have some troublesome but not insurmountable cap issues. The Raiders would have to account for just over $2 million this year as well as 25 percent of Moss’ salary of $7.5 million. An acceleration charge just over $4 million would be charged to the 2007 cap.
