Randy Moss analysis

ANALYSIS
Some thoughts on the Patriots and Randy Moss:
When the deadline for placing the franchise tag on players passed – and the Patriots did not tag Randy Moss – the tone for negotiations was set.
While the Patriots could have restricted Moss’s free-agent movement with the tag, they apparently decided that it was a better approach to play nice. Moss, they likely believed, wasn’t the type of person who would react favorably to having his options limited, especially after agreeing to restructure his deal (and take considerably less pay) in 2007.
With that in mind, the feeling here is that the ongoing “negotiation” between the Patriots and Moss is not contentious.
The Patriots have made an offer to Moss that they obviously feel is a good one.
Moss, on the other hand, obviously isn’t convinced.
So the only way to reach a resolution is for Moss to explore the open market and see if he can find a better deal. If he doesn't, he can come to a better comfort level with what the Patriots are offering.
