The Pats tried to trade for Lloyd last year while Condon was still his agent. Lloyd just didn't want to sign a long term deal because he felt he would get a better deal this offseason. The Pats didn't want to trade for him without a long term deal.
As opposed to recently drafting wide receivers in consecutive years in the third round of the NFL Draft, only to cut them both after two seasons?i agree Lloyd is not going to be a pat Welker will be makeing close to 10 million next year and Lloyd is going to want 6+ million a year, paying 16+ million to two WR's in there 30's is just not the way to bulid a SB team IMO

if a team can stop your running game and your QB with a 3 and 4 man front i dont care who you have at WR you ant going to score 20 points that why i think that money should go on defense and maybe a RB that can give u 20 att and 80 yards a game
David Dunn was his agent last year. He recently switched representation to Condon.
It's a pretty big deal as even Reiss puts it:
The more and more i read...the more i see even Randy Moss back here..before lloyd

Even if Lloyd isn't an option, there are plenty of options far better than Moss on the open market.
Other than Mike Florio saying the Pats "like" Moss because of what he did after Myra Kraft died, I have not heard anything about the Pats being interested. In fact, the opposite. We are hearing rumors (by Jason Cole for one) that other teams like the 9ers and Jets are interested, but nothing about the Pats. I don't see him coming back.
I dont think that's true. IF Ocho goes, and maybe even Branch, the pats are going to be thin at WR. They would hopefully sign an expensive free agent, draft a wr and still have a need. Moss for 1 year, at a low salary would probably be the best option.
There are at least a dozen street free agents better than Moss. Not all are outside/ deep threats, but there are plenty of good WRs out there. At this point, we don't know if Moss is an upgrade over Slater nermind any of the street free agents. People need to accept that Moss is 35, missed a year of football, and was useless his last year in the league.
Here are the free agent WRs who are/might be better than Moss right now:
Vincent Jackson
Dwayne Bowe
Marques Colston
Brandon Lloyd
Reggie Wayne
Desean Jackson
Stevie Johnson (he means more to the AFC East teams because he frequently beats Revis)
Robert Meachum
Laurent Robinson
Pierre Garcon
Mario Manningham
Not all are the same type of receiver, but all are mostly better options than Moss. Not all these guys will be high priced.
I could see TB over paying for Lloyd...as the have $60 mill
For those who care to watch Otismoss, Ustream.TV: . is on now!
The guy is just pure entertainment.

We can cross about half, if not more off that list. Most will be top dollar wr, or franchie tagged. Stevie Johnson can keep his drops and T-Shirts in buffalo.
Moss is going to be cheap.
The REAL question is, when Moss comes in as the 3rd or 4th WR here, (like so many say he should be) how will you all react when he beats out everyone and is once again the number 1 target?
