Get a GIGANTIC bucket of popcorn ready in 08....

I don't think this is as far out of the question as people think. Number one, it's not like we couldn't afford both of them. See Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin in Arizona, Roy Williams and Calvin Johnson in Detroit. Hell, even Wes Welker, Donte Stallworth, and Moss all get paid pretty well in New England.

Number two, imagine if we beat New England in the Super Bowl. Moss would probably be just pissed off enough to jump ship and come to the team he knows he could make even better, plus it's the team he always wanted to play for. Beyond that, he's like 3 or 4 years younger than T.O., so he could be here for 5+ years.

It's not likely to happen, but it's surely not an impossibility.

It's actually closer to 80k seats in normal capacity. It's expandable to 100k when needed.

Moss + TO + Romo + Witten + DMac = Its needed.

Fitz and Boldin are still under their rookie deals. Plus we still have to pay Newman, Ware, and a few others. We have cap room but not that much.

 

[CowboyWay]

I don't think any of us should worry about the cap room. If there is one thing we should all have learned by now is the cap means very little. It is just one big loophole.

You can argue that you don't want us to push the envelope of the cap (like snyder), and thats your right. However, don't think that Jerry can't do it.

 

[Bungarian]

It makes perfect sense if you're Jerry.

100,000 seat stadiums don't sell out easily. You need serious starpower.

He's always coveted Moss. And any of you who said Moss hates the cowboys are nuts. He's on record several times saying how badly he wanted to be a cowboy.

NE rarely signs their own players to big contracts. Outside of Brady of course. The rest of them, are disposable to them.

We have plenty of money under the cap as well. The defense seems to be picking up steam at the hands of Wade as well.

If Garrett decided to leave, Jerry may feel he needs another couple of big weapons to offset that.

Time will tell, but you guys who think its ridiculous don't understand Jerry, or the dollars and cents in regards to the new stadium.

Look at those ridiculous "option" prices and seat prices for the new place. Don't you think you need some serious starpower to ask for a $50,000 "option" on season tickets?

What about all those suites? You think they sell themselves? This place is going to have feild level suites for cryin out loud. You gotta sell em out to make the big money. You think it will sell out with Romo, Witten, Dmac, Moss, and TO?

Uh, yeah.

No nope and no way. bad idea

 

[BigBlacKahuna]

I'm looking forward to seeing how Jerry approaches this off season. He's a pretty smart guy, and I have to agree with an earlier post that he does like to to take chances in free agency.......we shall see.

 

[khiladi]

Moss + TO + Romo + Witten + DMac = Its needed.

That is a freakin' insane roster BTW... we'd average like 60 points a game on the grass, and 80 points on turf....

 

[Danny White]

I'm open to hearing all sides. Why don't you think its possible?

1) Moss is going to want to get a big contract as he's coming off one of his best years and this is his last shot at a big deal.

2) He's too old and too volatile to warrant a top-dollar contract.

3) The chemistry of our team (which is a high point right now) would be threatened with two alpha dogs like TO and Moss at the same position.

4) The Pats aren't likely to let him test the open market.

5) If they do, teams like the Redsk*ns will be throwing boatloads of money at him.

6) Moss' ego is too big to share the spotlight with TO.

Just because we have cap room doesn't mean we should go all crazy and use it up and screw us in future years......been there done that.....no thanks

horrible ideal. through and through, just a crappy idea.

It is a horrible IDEA, not IDEAL. Why do people get this wrong?:bang2:

All the more reason NE won't sign him.

2) He's too old and too volatile to warrant a top-dollar contract.

TO was more volatile and 3-4 years older. It worked out pretty well I'd say.

3) The chemistry of our team (which is a high point right now) would be threatened with two alpha dogs like TO and Moss at the same position.
I remember this argument when TO came to town. Again, it worked.
4) The Pats aren't likely to let him test the open market.

They have every other star not named Brady.

5) If they do, teams like the Redsk*ns will be throwing boatloads of money at him.
The stinks are so far over the cap, they'll be lucky to pay thier first round pick.

6) Moss' ego is too big to share the spotlight with TO.

I heard this one too........"Moss' ego is too big to share with Brady".....

 

[YosemiteSam]

4) The Pats aren't likely to let him test the open market.

Using a franchise tag on Moss would be like sparking a lighter near straw. Now, franchise tagging TO when he wants to leave would be like throwing gas on a fire.

It's not a typo to reach across the keyboard to add a "L" to the word idea. It is a misuse of a word. I hear it all the time, as I'm sure many of you do.

"That's a good IDEAL."

It's just like changing the word "PILLOW" to "PILLER".

 

[TheHerd]

I would love to get Moss, but I have bad news. The Pats will resign him long term, and they will also get McFadden.

The cap is a big loophole as someone mentioned, if anyone is paying attention when is that Washington payback for all their cap mistakes coming again?

 

[BlueStar II]

In order for Jones to have any realistic chance of going up high enough to grab McFadden, he'll have to almost certainly trade away those two first rounders to move up that high, or unless we can throw in a player or two along with a high draft pick. I've heard others on here jokingly say that pehaps we could put together a package deal where we trade Carpenter, too, but as so many on here have said, and I agree, looking at what Carpenter has done so far...who would want him.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

We probably should have taken him in 1998, could have won the SB that year with him.

However, the ultimate poetic justice would be for Greg Ellis to nail Brady as he was about to throw to a wide open Moss in the SB ot for a TD, cause a fumble , pick it up and run in for the winning TD

 

[Temo]

The Patriot's Cap next year stands at $105,010,002; the projected cap next year is $116,134,000- leaving them with $11,123,998. The franchise tag this year costs $7,613,000. Keep in mind that they will have a top 5 pick, which will require a hefty contract if they keep it.

Now, I'm not saying that Moss is coming to the Cowboys, far from it (we have a lot of people we're gonna have to pay soon), but it's not a foregone conclusion that Moss will be a Patriot next year.

 

[sonnyboy]

For those of who believe we could and should sign Moss, you're wasting your time debating it on this forum.
The people you're debating are the same closed minded rockheads who just knew we wouldn't, couldn't or shouldn't sign Owens.
These people have no foresight, no imagination and most importantly no balls.
