Schefter: Moss and Pats close to deal - New England Patriots Forums

Can't believe I haven't seen anything on this yet. The started Total Access by saying Schefter has learned the Patriots and Moss are closing in on a multi-year deal. Further details are coming up soon, after the commercial break and once they break down the Turner signing/other signings, it looks like.

I'll let those w/o the NFL Network what is said next.

Just put on.

Let's hope! Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Damn you Pats for looking like you are actually going to resign Moss.

Sorry. I don't really mean it, but hey someone's gotta beetch in every thread during the first week of free agency. Isn't that the rule?

I'm watching now - will post if they say anything about this...

Man, what are they doing wasting out time with crap about Tatum Bell after teasing us with the Moss news. Get to the details about Moss already.

C'mon Patriots. Let's get this done.

We want to honk our horns and shout out the windows when we hear the news.

Let's get this damn thing done!

Really, it is good to hear. From the sounds of it. I think Moss was a little surprised that he didn't have much of a market in free agency. That whole tag team with Culpepper thing really reaked of desperation. If people were knocking down his door to give him big deals, why would he need Culpepper who no one wants?

How many people do we need posting about this? Let the OP handle it. Sheesh.

I have a cousin over on the Viking board who is reporting that it's a package deal. The Patriots are close to signing Moss and Culpepper. The plan is to trade Tom Brady to the Jets for a fourth round pick in next year's draft.

By the way, check out rotoworld as they have updated their site to confirm what Schefter said. I'm definitely not making this one up to those who are skeptical.

Actually, to make it easier, I'll just quote what they had to say on this issue:

Quote:

NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports the Patriots are close to re-signing free agent Randy Moss.

Schefter says the Patriots have a "standing multi-year offer to make Moss one of the highest paid receivers in the NFL." Schefter is almost never wrong, but we keep hearing Moss and the Pats are close and wouldn't count out another team like the Rams, Redskins, or Eagles making a last minute run at him.
