But his last season, he wasn't that good a player WITH THE PATRIOTS, one excellent catch against a gimped Revis notwithstanding. Unless he had a lingering issue he's since gotten over -- doubtful, since there hasn't been a single peep of a rumor about that I can recall -- I doubt he'd be very good 2 years later.
1 year 2m deal for Moss
2 year 3.5 a year for Wayne
tag on Welker
Branch and Ocho gone
certainly would make me happy :rocker:

So you want to rely on a 34-year-old Wayne and a 35-year-old Moss?
Terrible.
Hey Reggie how would you like to come and play for New England for 3 and 1/2 mill for 2 seasons? Sure why not. I mean I'm worth 6-8 million on the open market but for you guys I'll take one for the team.
Look, I'll be honest, I'm a HUGE Randy Moss fan (always have been, even before he was on the Pats). While I may be biased, here's how I see it....
Randy Moss still has some of the greatest hands in the game. The problem that Moss was running into was that he was having a much harder time creating separation from defenders. Therefore, even with his great hands, defenders were able to, well, play defense on him. If you bring Moss back as your main weapon, then I agree, not worth it. Defenders will be able to cover him.
IF you bring him in as your 4th option, well, now we are talking. The Patriots have many other weapons that deserve defensive attention (Gronk, Welker, and Hernandez). Therefore, it would be illogical for teams to double Moss, and that's when he can do his damage.
I think Moss has been humbled by his last year in the league. Personally, I think Moss really just wanted an extended contract. When he said 'sign me or trade me', I think he really thought the Pats would sign him. The Pats called his bluff, and I think he would come back as a humbled player.
We currently rely on Ocho and Branch. The main target still is Gronk, Wes, Hernandez.
If we are gonna change up our wide receiver core I'm for Mike Wallace...but the rest, Colston would be a good fit but likely to much money and Bowe, Vjax less talent and still expensive guys.
Lloyd and keep Branch is another and maybe the most likely scenario. But I'll take Moss and Wayne over that.
How do you learn a lesson that you aren't good enough any more, and how does that help if you do?maybe ..he has learned his lesson.... that the grass isn't always greener on the other side ....
give him a shot ...replace ocho stinko with moss....
That question was asked and answered by Bill Belichick 16 months ago.Simple test for whether it makes sense (to you) to bring him back:
Do you think he can punish single coverage or not?
What we need is another receiver who can not be reliably single-covered, preferably one who operates somewhere other than the middle of the field.
If you don't think he'll get open, whatever "open" means in his case, then he's not a useful player to have on the field. I'll grant you that Moss' height, hands, and experience could make him open when another guy would be covered -- but he DOES have to get open by his standards.
