If Moss Continues on this pace, Should we Franchise Him? - Page 2 - New England Patriots Forums

I voted no because I think the Pats should Extend Moss. Probably a 3 year 20M deal. Something like that. Keep Moss HAPPY, and you keep Brady happy, and this offense will be explosive. Franchising players just pisses them off. See Samuel, Asante.

If Moss continues on this pace he will set numerous single season records. Many commentators will be calling him the greatest receiver of all time.

OF COURSE we should franchise him. There is a realistic chance that some team will both pay Moss AND hand over the two #1 draft picks that would be required by a non-exclusive tag.

My question is whether we're willing to offer him franchise-level money without franchising him, which might be necessary to compete with offers from other teams. But I don't think he's be happy being franchised, and I do believe he'd be willing to take a little less to stay here. Again, how much are the Patriots willing to pay him, and how does it fit with the cap?

I bet BB has some kind of agreement with him already made.

I voted no, because it won't come to that. He'll be extended long before that time.

Extend 2-3 years. He loves NE and I hope he stays for the rest of his career.

i doubt moss would consider leaving. he said money is no issue for him, he signed rather cheap when he knew his talent. he wanted to play here and if he continues the desire to win games, then he wont command much which should prevent holdout/big contract.
