Laveranues Coles was traded to the Jets for Santana Moss. Full story is here. http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/story/8256639
yea i just saw this if healthy Coles will be so much more dominant than Moss would have been. Coles was one of Pennington's favorite WRs his last year. Hopefully he will have a great year with a new offensive coordinator. I'm pretty happy with this trade and i hope it works out for the Jets. Stupid Redskins they overpaid Coles by stealing him from the Jets and now we got him back. Allllrrriighhhttt. haha if Moss was pissed about the Jets offense wait till he is a Redskin he'll have loads of fun there. You know its a good situation because both top WRs want to leave Washington. Hope this works out!!!
I wonder how much of that has to do with the colleges those recievers attended....no I dont, I know how much, all of it.... One does wonder about the decision the Jets made though....its not often a team gives up a younger, faster, and cheaper player for an older, slower, and more expensive player....That is generally a mistake....not saying it is in this case, but history indicates that its a bad idea....

Moss had a slight setback last year playing with an injured QB, but still had almost as many yards, and more TDs than coles, despite 35 less catches. Time will prove me right.
I think they both got something good in this trade. Santana Moss would be an exceptional reciever due to his speed and Laveranues Coles will be Pennington's Go-To guy.
I agree. I think they both got pretty good deals in the trade. In the long run though, I think it may pay off better for the Redskins IMO anyway.
actually as much as i understand ur point BF i have to disagree. Coles is a much better WR for Pennington. He can go over the middle and catch the ball he is a much better WR overall than Moss. Though Moss is speedy its not as Coles is a slow WR he can run with the best. The Jets also restructured his contract, its 5 years 25 mill now. Also Moss was waitin for a huge contract extention from the Jets as this was his last year of his older contract. The redskins will pay him wat he wants a huge contract. Also Coles is older but hes only 27 thats not old. He'll be 32 at the end of his contract i dont mind that. I think its a good overall deal for both teams because both got wat they want. But i'm happy for the Jets about this deal.

Coles doesnt stretch field, safeties play closer, get less from run game.
add coles, subratact Moss in NY....it means a better year for Pennington, but nat nearly as good for Martin....its a wash in my opionion....in a few years though, giving up the younger faster player may haunt them....
just curious i have the impression that Coles is fast because in Madden 2005 Coles is a 99 speed and Moss is a 97 speed. So idk whats wrong with this picture.
I wouldnt put too much stock in Madden ratings....Moss is much faster then Coles....Moss is a deep threat, Coles is a better player though....

One good game does not a season make. At the end of the year, Coles will have a much better stat line.
