Randy Moss
Vikings

Interested - Ravens?, Raiders?, Jets?, Redskins?

Feb. 21 - The man in line to purchase the Vikings, Reggie Fowler, told The Minneapolis Star Tribune he has no intention of trading Moss.

"I think we all have to have a set of standards," Fowler said. "I think Mr. Moss is, if not the finest, one of the finest receivers in the league today. And I think he's a winner. A lot of times when you want to win, you get excited.

"So I look forward to working with Randy, and I think he'll do all the things we need him to do. I don't know that you take some of the best players in the league and start trading them. We need those people to help us win, and I think Randy's one of those guys." Vikings head coach Mike Tice has also denied the team wants to move Moss, who has been the subject of trade rumors since the end of the season. The Ravens, Jets and Raiders are among the teams that are believed to have serious interest.


Shaun Alexander
Seahawks

Interested - Seahawks?, Buccaneers?, Dolphins?

Feb. 21 - Alexander has expressed interest in playing for a warm-weather team, and if the Seahawks use their franchise tag on QB Matt Hasselbeck, as reports indicate they will, he might get the opportunity. The Tacoma News-Tribune indicates Seattle has decided to tag Hasselbeck and allow Alexander to test free agency. During Super Bowl week, Alexander told two Florida newspapers he was interested in joining either the Buccaneers or the Dolphins.


Matt Hasselbeck
Seahawks

Interested - Seahawks, Packers?, Cowboys?

Feb. 21 - The Seahawks reportedly plan to use their franchise tag on Hasselbeck, severely limiting his options in free agency. Previous reports suggested Green Bay and Dallas might be preparing to pursue him on the open market, but now it appears Seattle is intent on keeping him.


Laveranues Coles
Redskins

Interested - Redskins?

Feb. 21 - Coles' stay in D.C. appears to be coming to an end. The Washington Post is reporting that Redskins head coach Joe Gibbs, owner Daniel Snyder and Coles' agent, Roosevelt Barnes, have reached a verbal agreement that will likely lead to the wide receiver's release. "We had a couple of good talks. That's the only statement I want to make," Gibbs said. "Me and Laveranues talked, and we have a good understanding." Despite catching a career-high 90 passes last season, the 27-year-old Coles has expressed displeasure with the team's offense and how he's been used. The Redskins signed Coles to a seven-year, $35 million deal in 2003. Coles is expected to retun part of his $13 million signing bonus.


L.J. Shelton
Cardinals

Interested - Bills?, Rams?, Buccaneers?, Bears?, Broncos

Feb. 21 - Shelton, who has been granted permission by the Cardinals to seek a trade, has high value now that Walter Jones has signed a new contract with the Seahawks. Shelton has visited Buffalo, which is looking to deal RB Travis Henry. The Broncos, Rams, Bucs and Bears are also reportedly interested in Shelton. It's unlikely Shelton, who makes $3 million a year until 2008, returns to Arizona. Shelton doesn't have a great relationship with head coach Dennis Green and was replaced at left tackle last season by Leonard Davis.
