No. Why would you tag a guy who is well known to just quit when he's disgruntled? A guy who can be a cancer in the locker room when he's pissed off?
To trade him.
I don't think that was their plan at all when they gave the concession to Samuel, but that's done and now they will possibly look at Moss as Plan B if he has a great season and wants to get paid like the best WR in the league..

i.e. - while they'd get a draft pick for Moss, they'd signficantly hinder their ability to attract players similar to Moss and those in his situation in the future
The Patriots aren't stupid enough to mortgage their long term solvency like that - so I don't see this as a plausible theory.
