Moss inching away from Pats?

Randy Moss' patented touchdown celebration this year featured the receiver touching his wrists together, then spreading them out, signifying "separation", something some thought he couldn't get anymore in the passing game.

Could that now stand as a signal that he and the Patriots are moving apart? According to the NFL Network's Adam Schefter, Moss is growing "frustrated" with the pace of negotiations on a new deal in New England. Schefter writes ...

Moss is, at the very least, now willing to take free-agent visits and listen to other offers, according to sources. The contract the Patriots have proposed is not enough for Moss to sign now. The record-setting wide receiver believes he gave New England a discount last year and is unwilling to do the same this year.
The Cowboys would have to clear a lot of cap room to make Moss' arrival at Valley Ranch even a remote possibility. They have just $3.5 million to spend now. Still, there's probably not another player out there who would come close to what Moss could do in satisfying Jerry Jones' desire to add a "Wow factor" to his offense.

seriously though what is wrong with NE? they are cheaters and cheap???

I'm torn on this one. Signing Randy Moss is an inherently High reward/high risk signing. If it works, we could challenge New England's all time points record. If things go south they could really go south.

If we do nothing, he could end up in Philly, ensuring the NFC East will again be the toughest division in football next year..

It 's a close call, but I'm leaning towards pulling the trigger on Moss right now if we can clear the cap space.

Im still wondering how much space we can get if Romo were to restructure his contract? And can this happen now?

 

[Concord]

I would absolutely love to get Moss.

Hell I still haven't gotten over us taking Ellis over Moss.

Come on Jerry...lets right that wrong.

I really have to laugh at all these Moss possibility posts.... reminds me of before the season started when we got teased with

"Pats to release Moss before the 2007 season"


The more I see these posts... the more I think he signs with Pats.

I'm wondering about that as well. Maybe some of our number crunchers here can fill us in on that.

If he does, fine, no sweat.

I am really not enamored with the possibility of him in Philly, though.

Just sign with any team not named the Cowboys, Patriots, Giants, Eagles, or Commanders and i'll be happy.

The really interesting thing about that blog entry was someone finally explained what Moss was doing touching his wrists together and slowly seperating his hands. I finally get it!

Gotta say that was one of the dumbest end zone celebrations I've ever seen.

They've been doing that crap all year. Even that midget, Welker did it against us.

Is Adam Schefter not starting to piss anyone else off besides me?

This guy can turn ANYTHING into a story.

c'mon jerry work your magic! moss can come here be moss and teach miles austin how to catch a football...........with 1 hand!

 

[gazmc_06]

I really hope Jerry does this, the Moss-Owens threat would be unstoppable.

 

[sago1]

What I don't understand is why so many of you believe Jerry has the option to get Moss to Dallas. Where is the cap space going to come from? Even if Romo's contract is restructured we'd only get about $5M more to spend. When you add that to the only $3.5M we have so far it only comes to $8.5M which would be needed to re-sign Barber, TO, or Hamlin & our draft pool. Now if some of you want to remove the tender to both Barber & Canty and also remove the franchise tag from Hamlin, then say so cause that's probably the only way it happens. In order words we sign Moss and we in cap hell. If we win the SB, Jerry won't care. If TO & Moss can't survive together and hurt the team with their pettiness & drive Romo crazy, then we take a gigantic step backwards.

Sorry, gazmc, and the rest of you citizens...

As nice as it sounds? Not going to happen.



The Cowboys can win without Moss...
