Randy Moss’s electrifying talent was no longer enough for the Minnesota Vikings to put up with his distracting antics.

Dante DiTrapano, Moss’ agent, told the Associated Press yesterday that the Vikings and the Oakland Raiders had “come to an agreement on Randy playing for Oakland next year.”

Neither the Vikings nor the Raiders would confirm the deal, which was first reported by the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

“We have had discussions with the Oakland Raiders, but there’s nothing to announce,” Rob Brzezinski, Minnesota’s vice president of football operations, told the AP.

Raiders spokesman Mike Taylor said, “I cannot comment on the deal specifically; however, this organization has always been tremendously aggressive and Randy Moss rates with the great players of all time. Great players want to play for the Raiders.”

DiTrapano said he didn’t know the terms of the deal, but the Pioneer Press reported the Vikings would get linebacker Napoleon Harris, along with the seventh overall pick and a late-round pick in the upcoming draft.

The deal cannot become official until March 2, the start of the NFL’s fiscal year.

“It’s just like any other contract. There’s a meeting of the minds between the people who negotiate for the Vikings and the people who negotiate for the Raiders,” DiTrapano said. “It just hasn’t been reduced to writing and it won’t be until March 2.”

Moss is due to make $7.25 million next year. Harris is due to make $5.41 million.

Oakland’s renegade owner Al Davis has long embraced combustible players and the vertical passing game, so adding Moss seems to be a perfect fit.

The timing of the move comes as a bit of a surprise with the Vikings in the midst of an ownership change. Red McCombs has agreed to sell the team to Arizona businessman Reggie Fowler, a deal that still needs to be approved by the NFL.

A spokeswoman for Fowler said it would be “inappropriate for Reggie to be commenting at this point” because McCombs still owns the team and is making all the decisions.

Trade rumors have surrounded the flamboyant Moss all offseason. He struggled with a hamstring injury, but still finished with 13 touchdown catches last season. He was fined $10,000 for pretending to pull down his pants and moon the Green Bay crowd during Minnesota’s playoff win. He also drew criticism for leaving the field with 2 seconds left in a regular-season loss against Washington.

Team leaders Matt Birk and Daunte Culpepper confronted Moss after he walked off at Washington, and the organization’s patience with the receiver seemed to dwindle in the past year or so.

Moss’s 9,142 career receiving yards are the most by any player over his first seven seasons. The Vikings have sold out every game since he arrived in 1998. He had his best season in 2003 with 111 catches for 1,632 yards and 17 touchdowns.
