Moss Beats Eagles At CFL

Football Betting Lines

Kansas City, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Kansas City Chiefs have signed free agent defensive back Kyle McCarthy, the team announced Tuesday. The 25-year-old McCarthy went undrafted out of Notre Dame, but was signed as a free agent by Denver in 2010. In two seasons with the Broncos, McCarthy recorded four tackles and three special teams stops in 12 games.

"Jason Barnes is a legitimate receiving threat with size and experience in the CFL. We believe he is just beginning to realize his potential and will continue to get better," said Toronto head coach Scott Milanovich. "His chemistry with Ricky is obviously another positive as we continue to add weapons for 2012."

"I am definitely excited about the opportunity to come to Toronto and continue to play with Ricky; I'm glad it worked out the way it did," Barnes said. "Toronto is an amazing city and I've always enjoyed playing there. I'm excited to make it my home and get to know my new teammates."

"We are very happy to have Glenn back in the fold for next season," said Bombers vice president and general manager Joe Mack. "Coming off a serious injury to being named a Divisional All-Star is something to be proud of and we're very happy we were able to keep another member of our offensive line in tact."

Tampa, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers released defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth on Wednesday. "I appreciate Albert playing for us after some key injuries this past season," said Buccaneers general manager Mark Dominik. "He was very professional and we now wish him all the best as he moves forward."

In 123 career games with the Titans, Redskins, Pats and Bucs, the 30-year-old has compiled 347 tackles and 30 1/2 sacks.

Koch is entering his third pro season. He totaled 15 receptions for 133 yards in nine games for the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2011.

Vancouver, BC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The British Columbia Lions signed defensive backs Ryan Phillips and Dante Marsh on Wednesday. Phillips returns for his eighth season with the defending Grey Cup champions and was eligible for free agency. The two-time CFL All-Star has 320 tackles and 31 interceptions in 126 career games with the Lions.

"The success of our defense in recent years is due in large part to having a core of experienced veterans playing key positions," said head coach Mike Benevides. "Ryan and Dante's athleticism and ability to make big plays when we need them the most make them vital parts of our team."

While Moss' peculiar rant proved he hasn't lost the ability to entertain since his self-imposed hiatus, the bigger question among personnel executives (other than the understandable ones about his personal stability) is whether a player coming off an uninspiring 2010 campaign in which his employers (three) nearly matched his touchdown total (five) and who carries a history of volatile behavior is even worth the risk at an advanced age.

Five members of this year's unrestricted free agent class had over 1,000 receiving yards in 2011, and four of them -- Vincent Jackson, Marques Colston, Dwayne Bowe, Steve Johnson -- will be between 26 and 29 years old next season and in the prime of their careers. Two others -- Reggie Wayne and DeSean Jackson -- have reached the 1,000-yard mark on multiple occasions and were each considerably more productive than Moss was in his disappointing 2010 tour with New England, Minnesota and Tennessee.

That's not to say there won't be any interest in his services -- remember that Plaxico Burress was able to land a $3 million deal with the New York Jets at a similar age following a 2 1/2-year exile from football -- and Moss isn't the league-wide pariah that the also-unemployed Terrell Owens has become. And although sporadic, Moss did display moments of the game-breaking skills that made him arguably the most dangerous deep threat the league has ever had in his heyday during his most recent season, as three of his five 2010 scores were on passes of 34 yards or more.
