I think only one thing is true right now.....The Patriots and Moss are still trying to work out a deal. The negotiations are in full swing. And until Moss starts touring himself around I will believe that both parties are still trying.
Assume everthing said in the past was true...The pats want Moss and Moss is willing to take less to stay here.
There are still plenty of issues to the contract, ie length, dollar amount, guarentees, incentives. Thay could just be hammering out the details.
Maybve the Pats are willing to offer more to Moss if he gives an out clause or aybe Moss is willing to take less money buts wants a high signing bonus maybe he will take 3 year 20 mil but 10 has to be guarenteed or something. These are just dumb scenarios but we as fans panic and think the worst maybe it isnt so bad maybe they just need some time for the details.
