Moss not franchised

[TheSkaven]

I'm starting to think that this could actually happen. Remember, none of us seriously thought Terrell Owens would ever be a Cowboy.

If it does Romo better learn to throw two balls at once because neither Moss or TO will be happy if he isn't getting the ball thrown to him. Hell, TO already whines if he's not thrown the ball every down.

He could! The man boy is majik...

No way this happens. Moss was in the best situation last season. The pats won super bowls before moss, so he had no choice but to conform. He'd run circles around phillips. No coach could keep these two egos in check. Jerry is smart to realize oil and water don't mix.

The Patriots have elected not to place the franchise tag on Randy Moss.

It's a surprising development, although it probably doesn't mean anything. By rule, the Patriots couldn't announce a new contract with Moss until the new league year starts on February 29. Speculation around Boston is that the two sides may have reached a long-term agreement already, but that can't be verified.

Where do you get this stuff anyway?

This is jaw-dropping to me. The guy said he wants to stay a Patriot...they probably won't sign him long term, makes sense to get at least one more year out of him while he's still a dominant WR.

 

[Hoofbite]

Will this be the "wow" we've been waiting to hear?

Owens, Moss, Witten, Crayton, Barber, Romo, McFadden..

This would be a dream.

Be a nightmare. It would cost so much for Moss and then cost so much in picks and money for McFadden that dallas would be handcuffed for a while.

That makes no sense at all. Hes still under contract with them, why couldn't they sign him to an extension?

What I want to know is what exactly happens with all this money they don't ever spend, does it go in Krafts wallet?

What are the Pats cap numbers?

Dalllas should sign Randy Moss. Given the history, it's only destiny that Moss becomes a Cowboy. It would also be interesting to finally have him and Greg Ellis on the same team, given that Ellis was chosen over Randy. I mean, just imagine how much fun it will be to hear Ellis chatter about his uncertainties with Moss around!

We'd have to give him Linus' security blanket . . . .

From Mike Florio's Sporting Blog:

7. Jerry Jones will make a big splash

With another embarrassing and early exit from the playoffs and a new stadium on the horizon, Cowboys owner/GM Jerry Jones will feel compelled to make a big splash this offseason. The most popular speculation is he'll trade his two first-round picks and running back Marion Barber (a restricted free agent) to the Miami Dolphins for the No. 1-overall selection in the NFL Draft. Jones then could select Arkansas running back Darren McFadden.

That's not the only power play Jones might make. With wide receiver Randy Moss hitting the open market Feb. 29 -- unless the Patriots use the franchise tag on him -- hauling in the single-season touchdown receptions leader would create a compelling Texas tandem of Terrell Owens and Moss.

There is only one football, though, and that could create a problem. Likewise, Jones would have to give Owens, who is entering the final year of his contract, a big raise to ensure there would be no locker-room rivalry.

Regardless of whether he acquires McFadden, Moss or someone else, count on one thing: Jones will do something big aimed at making his team better.

Do you think, that maybe Moss and TO . . . .

Only if TO increases the dosage on his "good Behavior" pills.

thanks, but it stops at #5

I would love for Barber, Moss, McFadden, Owens, Witten, and Tony Curtis to co-exist... My goodness, the NFL would be in some serious trouble if that would happen.

Romo will be traded if he can't win a superbowl with this combination.
