Cool Now we can fanchise Moss
I have the feeling the Pats really didn't give into Samual on next year's fanchise tag. The tag is a more importent tool for future negotiations with Moss. You almost always tag the Hall of Fame Player first.

Doubtful. I can see us trying to re-sign him, but can't imagine using the franchise tag.

If this post isn't intended to be ironic, I think there must be something other than java in your system.

Oh yeah, cause what we'd want is a disgruntled Moss. There's one player we know will dog it if he feels he has to. No, our best bet with him is to keep him happy, and if that's no longer to our benefit, let him go.

you might see belicheck rotate gay into the mix to keep his snaps down he can always say he wasnt ready, especially early on because of the hold out and well again be able to franchise him , he always misses a few games due to injury anyway

Foolish children. You don't tag Moss to sign him, but to trade him.

Seriously, dude... nobody is going to trade for an unhappily-tagged Randy Moss.

That's like sticking a bunch of wolverines in a cage, shaking it vigorously, and then trying to get someone to give you $20 bucks for it.

We did. We traded for Randy Moss, lest you forget.

We don't pay Moss even close to 8 mil. Why franchise a guy that we
a) can get rid of if he plays poorly
b) if he plays well trade for younger talent?

I thought Moss had a contract for more than one year? Is it just for this year? If it's for multiple years, how do you franchise him? don't you just franchise players who are free agents?
