This guy wants to win, and win bad.

According to Tomase and ProFootballTalk.com it is.Is it only for one year?
I can't swear on it, but isn't that against the CBA?
No, it is not. Players have been allowed to lower their salaries for the longest time.
I don't think we've seen any actualt confirmation of that, only that his 07 salary is $3m. it's still possible we are on the hook for $8m or whatever in 08, I haven't read anything that addresses 08 or beyond
I think what has been posted is that lowering the 2 year contract to just a 1 year deal is what is against the CBA.....not taking the pay cut itself.
Anybody know for sure?

True, but usually they get a signing bonus as well for doing so..... though not always.
FWIW
By having Moss agree to an one-year deal, the Patriots front office left open the possibility of getting a comp pick for him in 2009. If his deal with the Pats have him signed for the 2008 season, the Pats would not get anything for him if they decide to release him before they had to pay the $11.25 million salary.
Seems like the NFL players association is much weaker than the MLB association! Players aren't allowed to lower the value of their deals in baseball!!
