Could this be Moss's last game as a Patriot?

I would wager that NE and Moss have already hammered out just about everything but the signatures.

I have had this same feeling as well.

as good as we look in the regular season with moss, the thing that wins us ballgames in january's frigid weather is our defense and running game. when asante hits FA i think we need to look for a starter quality (and of course affordable) cb. if we cant sign moss for around $6 M/yr i dont think we will. also i dont see how we hold onto that #6 pick, hard to imagine some guy who's never stepped on the field being the 3rd or 4th highest paid player on the team.

Wow. We have dead certain yesses and almost as dead certain nos.


We also have a prediction of a 6M APY deal, citing a variety of motivational factors. I would love that, as a fan of the team, but what is wrong with "if Randy feels like he should be paid pretty well, but not at the tip-top of the market"?

Call me crazy, but I think that suggests more like 7.5 M/APY, 5 years, 20M up-front. Still a significant discount, but 6 APY is just so low for the top wideout in the game, it's hard to see it.

On one side: Randy can make a case that any amount in historical wideout remuneration is a lowball offer. He won't.

On the other side: The Patriots can make the point that he becomes a far lesser wideout absent Tom Brady. That leaves an iffy claim by the Packers, a good claim by the Colts, or a very specious claim by any of a half dozen other teams, that those teams can give Moss the QB he deserves. (and the Packers' claim is shelf dated.)

Who knows though. I just have Monday off, and am by now a forum addict.

I so hope we keep randy.

I can deal with stallworth leaving,but randy leaving would be a lot harder to take.

Hopefully he will stay.
