get moss a long term deal, and use the tag on someone else, someone on D
Haha, if you really think they can get a long-term deal worked out in the last few hours and then think of someone else worth tagging, then I'd be very amused.
Moss is the only one they'd tag, and I'm curious as to why they've waited so long, but I can't see them letting him go.
How do you know they haven't already worked out a long term deal/
After all, they are prohibited from inking such a deal anyway for a couple weeks because of the rule against redoing a player's contract more than twice in one year's span of time.
I have a feeling there is a real chance Randy could walk.
I think BB/Pioli are NOT going to franchise tag him.
I suspect that they may have had an agreement that they would not apply the tag to further motivate him to produce this year.
If he is not tagged...some team flush with cash will absolutely blow him away with a huge signing bonus. It is supply and demand. Moss is a difference maker and other teams saw what he did for Brady and the PATS offense.
If he does not reach agreement with the Patriots befor tomorrow and he is not franchised...he will get an offer too good to turn down from another team and he will walk.
Maybe they have, I don't know. But if you noticed, I said "blah blah blah long-term deal AND think of someone else to tag..." I'm waiting to hear what other UFA deserves top 5 money. Like another poster said, Randall Gay, perhaps?
The team that scares me is the Jags. If we dont tag Moss, they have over $30 million in cap space....and need receivers. Theyre already a great team, and that would put them up at the elite level.
we will know who gets franchise tag tomorrow.
I do believe that there is a gentlemen's agreement between the Pats and Moss, and I do think Randy will end his career in NE. However, I will say if Moss does walk...I dont know if I'd ever recover. I THOUGHT I wouldnt recover when we traded Deion, but I KNOW I wouldnt recover from losing Moss. Because of all the positives this year with the incredible season, and all the negatives...spyfake issues, the superbowl loss...I just couldnt handle it. Just couldnt deal. I'd have to have to start heavy medication and therapy. So heres to Moss retiring as a NEP!
Anyone else nervous? We're down to about an hour left.
Florio makes an interesting assumption:
"If the Pats don't use the tag, it's safe to assume that there is a verbal deal in place, and that Moss has promised to make it official at midnight sharp on February 29. If the tag is applied, then there's likely no deal in place -- and Randy's specific makeup could make it harder for a deal to ever get done."
So either way still causes some nervousness, at least until Feb. 29th.
