Gaston Gazette: Panthers are "aggressively" pursuing Randy Moss
 
According to Gazette writer Steve Reed.

Just another headline to add to the collection of first day of agency madness. Longshot, take as you will.

aren't Panthers tight in CAP space? If so they may not have the
CAP space to get into a bidding war with someone like the Packers
or 49ers or JAGs or even the PATs.

Moss--Smith--Delhomme- Proving that, no matter how good your WRs are, a ****ty QB will make them look average.

Jacksonville is absolutely retarded for not jumping on Moss. If they got him it would completely alter the AFC landscape, they suddenly jump from 2nd tier contender to arguably the team to beat or at least on par with NE, Indy, etc...IMO Gerard would thrive with Moss because he's accurate, but more important, he's mobile which is very beneficial to utilizing the deep game.

Jags just signed Jerry Porter to big money. Not sure about how well him and Moss got along in Oakland, but to drop a ton more money on another wide receiver, ugh.

As far as San Fran...they may have the money but surely Moss would be worried about catching balls from Alex Smith..??..??

I don't know what kind of cap space they have now, as they must have received a decent amount of cap relief by moving Kris Jenkins? They only had something like 35 players under contract before this free agency period started, and they were already just $5.7M under the cap. I'm sure they were able to free up some additional space, but they've got a bunch of roster spots to fill, and I doubt they'll be a contender. Jake is on the decline as a starting QB as well. So, that kind of goes in the face of Randy's wanting to play for a SB contender with a top level QB.

I think its safe to completely rule out below average to bad teams, and thats what SF is. Moss also has a STRONG preference for staying on the east coast, so I'm pretty sure there are no westcoast teams in the picture.

I thought or read San Diego was another team pursuing him hard? I find all this laughable as 90% of the NFL said he was a cancer and washed up when the Pats acquired him...look at them all getting the "cialis 4 hour erection" over Moss now....NEWSFLASH...a stud quarterback is required people.

I looked all over the Gaston Gazette website and found no mention of Moss.

The fact that Jacksonville signed Jerry Porter leads me to believe that Randy probably has agreed to sign back in New England. If he was available, Jacksonville would have pounced. Jacksonville was interested last year, and this year they are even closer to a title than they were last year. They had all the cap room in the world and their location makes them attractive to Randy, who has a home in Florida.

I admit to being a little worried (not panicked yet), but this still could be a very good offseason for the Patriots.

1. Sign Moss
2. Trade for Lito
3. Trade down in the first round picking up a proven ILB in the process
