Well Asante already has ... could we be looking at 2 3rd round comp picks?

Or at the very least a 3rd and a 4th?

Call me crazy but I like what Belichick has done so far.
Huge $$$ guys tend to get lazy ... Brady is the exception for us.
I am in the minority ... I really hope Moss goes elsewhere if we have
to pay him any more than $7 million / year.

I'm hoping we reload through the draft ... no guarantee of a Super Bowl
for now but it does guarantee future success for the team as long
as Bill and Scott are here.

Ok you are the minority.
We can't sugar coat letting moss walk with no compensation.
Can't be sugar coated at all.

I think there's definitely some truth in this. As BBs motto goes he will do what's best for the team which means not handcuffing them with exhorbitant contracts that will prevent them from addressing the bigger needs which are linebacker and cornerback.

New England Patriots Football - it's never boring!

No compensation?

You're nuts ... the $$$ will be spent on what we need.
A superstar who was negated by the weather and defenses down the stretch is not what we need. Moss will get you a playoff record .. that's about all he'll get you.

JackBauer

If that happens, then we'll have tons of money to spend on defense.

I don't mind Assante, but there aren't any other $7M guys out there, and we could end up ridiculously far under the cap, and be missing out on talent. Part of me won't be upset if we let him go, we'll assume something, and we'll compensate, but I still think they're a better team with him there, and that they could have him for a 'reasonable' amount of money that they wouldn't be able to effectively spend on other comparable talent...if Assante is worth 9.5M to someone, I think we can and should afford Randy at 7-8M...who else do you spend that amount on and get the return you get out of even a slightly lazy Randy?

Quote Moss is the smartest hardest working wide reciever I've ever been around.

You're not alone. So far, I'm liking the direction we're going in. If we sign Moss, then we sign him. If we don't, the team must go on.

JoeSixPat

If Moss signs elsewhere I think they move quickly to bring Stallworth back.
