Hey all...first post here...
re. Randy, how's this sound to go along w/ our new "Evil Empire" image we now sport (and I happen to love): 666
No way Kraft and BB let Randy go, both from a performance, as well as a business standpoint, and I doubt Randy wants to go anywhere else after tasting this. Balance it out, and Randy stays for a contract that is:
$6 million/year
6 year contract
and wtf...a total of 6 rings for Brady and co. That makes 3 for Randy over those 6 years. Tough, but doable.
Randy is playing nice this year, and cooperating, but my take is that Randy does have an ego that will need some tending eventually. What will check that and bring him into the fold over the long run is prospect of what could be accomplished w/ this team, coach and w/ Brady. Glittery enough for any ego, and besides, the endorsements he and Brady could one day make together would probably dwarf their current paychecks.
666, yeah baby!

This is Randy Moss we are talking about. If he thinks he can get ridiculous money he will try to get it. If the difference is a hundred thousand it probably won't matter, but if the difference is a million-plus he won't pass up that kind of money.
If they offer 6/6, he's gone.
He seems to want to be happier, not richer. But that's during the season, and not under the influence of his agent.
My question is what the percentage of the cap going to the receiving corps is considered "normal" for the new airborne Pats. Will Stallworth, for example, be gone? Welker is smartly cornered to start with.... how about all those guys on a produce-or-leave deal? K Washington is likely gone or else renegotiated south. Stallworth? Watch the second half of the season. Chad Jackson - will he produce anything, or just be considered a bust? What's left when that WR corps is settled down, and who gets what? Or, to phrase it more accurately, who gets cut? (See ya Asante...)
But these are pretty good problems to have

If they offer 6/6, he's gone. I highly doubt he'll work for less than deon branch money.
He took his 3 mil + incentives one year contract mostly because he wanted to get out of oakland and play a year for a real team, and to prove that he's still the best when he's placed in a good situation.
Pats will be the front runners and he'll give them a discount. But he's not going to play for a 50 cent contract - since there's other good teams who will offer him lucrative contracts..If Marvin Harrison's injury + old age cripple's his ability to perform highly, I'd see Indy (other other teams) offering Moss 11+ million.
8-9 will be what it takes to get it done. 8-9 is a respectable amount, yet still millions less than what he gets on the open market.
I just hope terms are agreed to prior to free agency, and the contract is signed in the first minute
Adam Vinatieri has proven you can leave this team, get the money, and get the glory (he's got more super bowl rings than anyone on the Patriots now)...Its not always an either/or. If you want top dollar, then most likely you'll go to a non-elite team (since most team's aren't elite, and all team's are equally likely to offer the best contract at any given position). Adam V got lucky in that that team was the 2nd best franchise of this decade. Other players (Law, Mcginnest, Milloy, etc) have not been so luckly. But if you want only 90% of market value, then you're able to pick the team you want to play for.
Please, for the love of god and all things sacred, enough with the 6s already. If anything, just make em FIVEs.
