A Vikings source has told ESPN's Chris Mortensen that there's a 60-40 chance the team will deal the controversial receiver in the offseason if it can find suitors willing to pay a handsome price.

Moss is not on the market yet in part because Vikings owner Red McCombs is hoping to sell the team by Super Bowl XXXIX, Mortensen reported.

Which teams might be willing to up the ante for Moss?

The Ravens are a possibility. Baltimore made an aborted play for Terrell Owens last offseason and coach Brian Billick used Moss' sensational season in 1998 when he caught 17 touchdown passes to propel himself to the Ravens job.

Moss didn't endear himself to his teammates in the final game of the season when he skulked off the field with 2 seconds left in a loss at Washington.

The following week in Minnesota's wild-card playoff victory at Green Bay, Moss pretended to pull down his pants and moon the crowd after scoring on a 34-yard touchdown pass from Daunte Culpepper in the fourth quarter.

Moss was fined $10,000 by the league for the gesture, but didn't show any remorse.

"Ain't nothing but 10 grand. What's 10 grand, to me?" said Moss, whose salary this season is $5.75 million. He then jokingly suggested he might perform a more vulgar celebration next time.

Moss, whose 9,142 career yards receiving are the most ever by any player over his first seven seasons, has drawn more than his share of punishments and negative publicity.

The league fined him $5,000 for his role in a scuffle with the Chicago Bears during a September game, and he was charged the same amount in November 2003 for spiking a ball at the foot of Detroit Lions cornerback Dre' Bly.

In December 2002, he was fined $1,200 by a judge after being charged with bumping a traffic control officer with his car in downtown Minneapolis.

For verbally abusing corporate sponsors on the team bus following a loss in November 2001, Moss was fined $15,000 by the Vikings and required to receive anger management counseling.

I think this is great news. Both sides, whether it's the Ravens or not, will benefit from a deal. Please say it's so!

He's a great reciever. If he's on the market, somebody will pick him up.

The Redskins might trade Arrington and a couple picks for Moss

Can you imagine Moss and Joe Gibbs on the same team? LOL! I like that trade though, I've heard that rumor.

Joe Gibbs would have certainly turned a corner into a desperate coach to get Moss.

Moss is an a-hole pure and simple, all about himself first.

No respectable coach would trade for him- as soon as his first outburst occurs you would always think about what you gave up. That is unacceptable.

Arrington for Moss? That sounds like a horrible trade for the Redskins.

I don't know, I think someone will try to overlook his personality, and look at his on the field production before everything else. Sometimes a change of scenery is all someone needs, i.e. Cris Carter.
