Moss: "I don't think they going to extend my contract here" - New England Patriots Forums

real honest answers, not really sure how i feel about it.

Moss says he thinks 2010 will be his last year in New England | ProFootballTalk.com

I wouldn't be too suprised. But saying he will put forth lackluster effort this year? I bet he is near the lead league in TDs and yards this season, barring a bad injury.

The writer certainly spun it to sound like Moss wants out right now. I think he was just being honest. how many here would think that the Pats would offer him a new contract when this one is up? I'd say it is 25/75 against him, and that all depends on how the WR position plays out through the year. Does Welker make it back for any games and is he the same? Does Edelman continue to improve upon last season? Does Tate get on the field and prove anything? Then of course the question marks at FA/Draft. If we are in much of the same position entering the off-season next year as now, I would not be surprised to see a short deal offered up to Randy again.

That was bizarre. How can he say "the Patriots don't pay" over and over again?

"You know the Patriots don't really pay, so when I got my second contract from them that was a blessing in disguise" may be the strangest quote by a Patriot I've ever read.

Well if Sam Aiken continues to be the no. 2 threat on this team, I would want to go elsewhere too if I'm being triple teamed every play. I agree with him. He took less money to come play here in NE for a SB title and that has not happened here yet---very very slim it happens to NE in 2010-2011

If that's the case then why is everything he saying about getting paid? He didn't mention winning once.

And who else was going to take him in 2007. The Patriots resurrected his career.

The real question is --- How did Moss do during the softball game? They never tell us that.

"If as an individual I'm not really in their future plans I would like to go elsewhere."

i think he wanted to compete for the SB last year and this year
last year he saw the cornerstone of our D traded away for a future pick 2 years down the road

this year like most i dont see the pats being a top contender with a young D
how many teams have made it to the SB in the middle of rebuilding their D?

Moss is getting older, he knows it and he does not want to retire without a SB ring

Exhibit A in why Moss normally just refuses to talk to the media. That's a hell of a lot of spin...

If that's the case, then I'll ask it again: why is everything he talking about related to getting paid and how the Patriots don't pay?
