Dallas Rumors Silenced? Randy Moss to sign with New England

[kbman]

Oh well, I like having the Original 81 better anyway.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

God I hope this turns out to be true exactly 30 seconds after FA starts tomorrow night. That way this silly notion that Moss is ever going to be a Cowboy can just go away, for good.

Do you happen to have a link I can't find it anywhere not even on the Pats forums?

"Expected" is the important word. Probably gonna happen.

I cannot find any mention of this rumor anywhere else?

Maybe this is a piece of guesswork?

I give this about as much credence as the original rumor about Moss/Dallas.

Some writer from Minnesota is suddenly an expert with what's happening with Moss in New England?

About as much as Czarneski was originally.

I do think Moss stays put, but we'll see it when it actually happens.

There have been free agents re-signing all over the place to avoid free agency. Yet, this one has not been done yet. The Patriots have already slashed their payroll by releasing Colvin and should have enough room to do this now.

Why hasn't this been done yet is something not to ignore, unless they all have a sense for the dramatic.

michael irvin said something I think makes sense yesterday. he said the pats havent resigned him because they dont want to overpay and that they were probably hoping he would get some other offers to maybe find a middle ground on his value.

makes sense in some regards I guess.

That can also come back to bite you.

Especially if some team gets crazy with their money which seems to happen every year.

This might actually hurt the Cowboys if these numbers are correct since Jones didn't feel the need to extend Owens' deal yet.

His asking price could go way up after he sees these numbers.

 

[David276]

yeah i was going to say Claytons geek self is on 103.3 right now saying how the pats need to get the deal done and its up in the air. theyre talking about if he came to dallas how this is going to work out. he hasnt even mentioned a contract was offered.

 

[Vintage]

If they can get another OLB that could set up to be the best LB group in football for quite some time, though.

No kidding. Willis and Briggs at ILB? Count me as jealous.

I hope Ware/Spencer (well, Ware is already there).... are an equally talented tandem on the outside...

 

[Nightman]

I don't see why Moss wouldn't test the market. He just had the best year ever for a WR and many teams are flush with cash. Moss already gave them a discount last year, unless Kraft slipped him some extra $, why would he do it again. Do they brainwash these guys once the get to NE?

 

[TRUTH87]

I understand Moss not testing the market.

- hes the man @ NE
- great chemistry with ''flag football'' brady
- a winning team


and many more, very understandable. i might of done the same.

Winning, and winning a lot, is a great reason for guys to not need quite as much money.

 

[Primetime0201]

I have checked every sports site I know and I can't find Randy being signed anywhere. But I would rather have Roy Williams anyway so....

 

[Nightman]

But the Pats don't ever return the favor to their players. It's all business when it comes to giving out contracts or cutting guys. I'm not saying he has to sign with someone else, but at least listen before you take yourself off the market.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Yeah no probs there. He could listen, sure. He may even listen. but in the end he's going to take the deal in NE cause it's not only a lot of money but it's a lot of money on a very good team.

Win/win for Moss there.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

The article is factually incorrect. New England does not need to wait for anything to resign their own free agent to be. Everyone else has to wait because officially players arent FA until the stroke of midnight but NE can extend their own any time they please.

This leads me to believe that this guy who aol apparently sees fit to publish doesn't know much about the situation.

 

[Rampage]

Ok, if that's over, then who is the other impact player for the offense Jerry has been talking about for the last 6 months?

SUPRISE!

 

[theogt]

So did he re-sign or not?

 

[Future]

I was hoping Dallas could somehow bring Moss in as a #2 WR, but for three years, $30 million with $12-15 million guaranteed? No way! Not for a #2 WR. that's T.O. money, NOT Moss money, sorry!

Well considering the fact that Moss had the better season I'd have to think its his money.
