A few specifics from St paul pioneer press. It won't be official until March 2

The Vikings pulled off a rare NFL trade, dealing Moss to the Oakland Raiders for linebacker Napoleon Harris and the seventh overall pick and a seventh-round selection in this year's NFL draft.

The Raiders will assume his $7.25 million base salary for next season. But because they need salary cap space, the Raiders will pay him the veteran's minimum of $665,000 and pay him the difference in a signing bonus, which they can spread over the final four years of his original eight-year, $75 million deal.

As a result, Moss' salary cap number will be reduced nearly $5 million, to a manageable $2.4 million. If he plays well next season, the Raiders likely will tear up the remaining three years of his deal and give him a new, lucrative contract. If he does not play well, the Raiders can release or trade him, with relatively minimal salary implications.

The Vikings, meanwhile, will save nearly $2 million in salary cap space, and they inherit a modest Harris contract. The 23rd pick in the 2002 draft, Harris has two years remaining on his original six-year, $7 million contract that included $3.775 million in guaranteed bonuses. The Vikings are responsible for his base salary next season of $541,000, and $658,500 in 2006.
