Moss willing to listen to offers; Favre nearing decision on future
By Adam Schefter
Free-agent deals continue rolling in, but it's two deals that haven't been completed that are creating the most intrigue.
Two days into the free-agent signing period, the New England Patriots have yet to re-sign wide receiver Randy Moss and the Green Bay Packers still have not heard from quarterback Brett Favre regarding his decision about whether to return or retire.
Now, the two storylines could connect the way Moss and Favre have hoped to in past offseasons.
Those who know Moss say he is inching closer to the point of frustration at the lack of progress he has made for a new deal with the Patriots. The longer the Patriots wait to sign him, the more they invite other teams to begin recruiting Moss.
Moss is, at the very least, now willing to take free-agent visits and listen to other offers, according to sources. The contract the Patriots have proposed is not enough for Moss to sign now. The record-setting wide receiver believes he gave New England a discount last year and is unwilling to do the same this year.
This is where it gets interesting.
Favre openly campaigned for the Packers to sign Moss last offseason. When they didn't, he spoke out against the organization.
With Favre nearing a decision on his future –- some believe he will inform Green Bay of his plans as early as this week -– the Packers could make the decision for him. If they signed Moss now, those who know Favre believe it would be a dead-lock cinch for the Packers quarterback to play another season.
As it is, some people believe Favre now is prepared to walk away from the game.
But if Favre is willing to walk away from Green Bay, and Moss is willing to walk away from New England, then this could alter the dynamics of two of the biggest storylines of Free Agency 2008.
Maybe Favre and Moss could wind up walking into the 2008 season together.

Sounds fishy to me. By fishy I mean something Shefter tossed together to create yet another storyline. I mean...the last line of the story 'Moss and Favre walking hand in hand into the 2008 sunset' (notice that's not a quote, merely the impression I got reading the article) is almost sickening. People have some weird fascination with Favre that I've never understood--and I lived in WI for several years.
If the rumors of him being frustrated and that he's decided to look at other teams with reluctance are true..that at least confirms that his INTENT and PREFERENCE is to stay with the Pats, fwiw,
I certainly believe that Moss intends and prefers to play for the patriots if we offer more than anyone else. ANything less is called giveing the patriots a "discount" from the market price.

I like Schefter and he was the one who broke the news at 3AM after Day 1 of the draft that the Pats traded for Moss.
But I gotta say that story is hilarious. Sources close to Moss say he's getting frustrated? Yeah is there a 1-900 number that Schefter calls to get to Randy's closest friends? Oh yeah why not throw in Moss and Favre in the tundra in 08 while you're at it? I needed a good laugh today and you provided me with one!! Thanks!
I think the other question, at this point, is when do we start looking at other options at WR? Berrian is close to signing with the Vikings, Porter has already been traded for... at some point the Pats have to make a move to avoid getting Deion Branched again. I was really hoping that Moss would re-sign, and it will be a major hit if he doesn't, but if he's following the money then we've gotta accept that and move on, because the Pats won't be the top bidders.

By that definition, it was Asante's preference to stay with the Pats too, but that just doesn't matter. These guys know that other teams are going to offer more than the Pats. They either want to win or they want the money; they can't have their cake and eat it too. At this point, it looks like Moss wants the money.

Moss "gave us a discount" last year because he was stuck in Oakland, was viewed throughout the league as a malcontent & washed up. Coming to NE revived his career. Now if he wants to break the bank I say let him pound sand. Sure its great having a playmaker like Moss on the Pats but we're 3-0 in the SB ( under BB ) without Moss & 0-1 with him.
If signing Moss to a huge deal means we cant sign guys like Wilfork & Mankins in the future I say let him go.
As the giants proved DEFENSE is what wins championships. Name the last time an offensive juggernaught won the SB. ( the Colts offense was horrid in their SB run, their defense carried them that year )
If the rumors of the Pats offer of 10mil per year for 3 years are true & he leaves for some crap team like St. Lious then I guess all the "I dont care about money, I just want to win" talk of his was just BS.
Moss getting frustrated??
