You're looking at one more season out of Moss, max. He'll be 33 and had injury problems this season. He was not double-teamed against the Ravens or Jets. He requires constant attention and praise to keep his motivation up. There was considerable evidence pointing to him quitting on plays this season. He's not going to be the same receiver as he was in 2007, not even close.
I disagree - his #s this season were still quite good, in spite of everything. There's no saying that, if we get a legitimate 3rd receiver, that he does in fact become the receiver he was in 2007. One could say he might lose a step - well I think he'd already lost a step before 2007, and look how good he was then.
It doesn't sound good to say: but if Moss quits on this team b/c it doesn't have the weapons around him to keep him happy, then frankly the team isn't going to be good enough to win whether he's motivated or not. Finding at least one more starting caliber wide receiver is a huge priority - getting rid of their best healthy wideout would just be a step in the wrong direction.
