Philly fans: Say it aint so!

I am in pain even writing this. John Czarnecki of Fox Sports reports that RandyMoss and the Pats are not even close on a new deal. Moss is likely to hit the open market and offer the Pats the chance to match his best offer. Anyone want to take a guess at who his biggest suitor may be?

No, the Philadelphia Eagles are unlikely to make a play for Moss and I think that is a good thing. The Dallas Cowboys are rumored to be highly interested in the Pro Bowl wide receiver. The Cowboys could throw the bank at Moss and suit him up alongside Terrell Owens every weekend. My God, I think I am already scared.

The move makes a ton of sense for the Cowboys. Let’s face it, the problem in the Giants game wasn’t the defense. The offense couldn’t put points on the board. Randy Moss himself isn’t going to make a difference, but the overall offense would be dynamite. Who are you going to double-team? If you double Moss, you leave Owens open and vice versa. If you are going to play the pass, you open up the run all day for Barber. What do you do with Witten if you are a defense? Even Tony Romo can win a playoff game with that offense.

As explosive the Patriots offense was, they still couldn’t win the Super Bowl. Even with Moss, the Cowboy offense would still not be as lethal as the Patriot offense of 2007. However, the Cowboys play in the NFC with a lot less competition than the Patriots have. Who is going to stop the Cowboys with that kind of offense?

Deep down I believe that the Patriots are going to match whatever is offered to Moss and keep him. However, Jerry Jones with a new stadium coming is going to do everything he can to make the Cowboys the best show in the NFL. Adding Moss could mean millions of dollars in luxury boxes for the Cowboys. The financial return on the investment would mean more immediately for the Cowboys than the Pats. Jones is creative and he could structure a deal that would make it impossible for the Pats to match.

Free agency starts Friday. Joe Banner can spin all he wants about high-priced free agents, but give me the Cowboys with Moss, Owens, Witten, and Barber over the Eagles any day of the week.

I'm shocked.

Not enough cap room .. unless Moss takes a pansy *** first year, in terms of cash.

Not really. Guaranteeing Romo's '08 salary would create nearly $6 million in cap space just by itself. Then cutting Glenn would create $1.74 million in cap space.

Could this actually have any validity?

You gotta think if he hasn't reached a deal with them at this point, then he's going to hit the market. They could match any offer, but he's going to hit the market.

Is it possible to poison pill a UFA contract?

No, because they don't have to match the exact legal terms, but they can match the exact economic terms. If that makes sense.

Gotcha. Thanks.

How long before TO signed did we hear the "rumors"? Most scoffed, but by St Pats day all were believers. I don't doubt Moss to Dallas in the least.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

What a addition it would be Zoners!

 

[CPonder14]

Moss would be a great addition to our team. He showed this past year that he still has sick skills, and in now way shape or form hurt the Patriots.

 

[lcharles]

I don't want Moss.

Dude has a bad attitude, even worse than T.O.

He decides when he wants to play.

Jerry really tested my fandom when he signed the Star disrespector.

Don't push me Jerry, Don't push me. :grrr: :cop2:

This sentence says all you need to know about this article.

Insinuating that the AFC East is stronger than the NFC East is stupid.

Why??? Despite the Super Bowl winner coming from the NFC, the AFC still has the Chargers, Colts, Pats and Jags....and is still slightly better at the top than the NFC....I don't think it's far off.

theogt - i have to agree. before the year ended no one ever thought the pats would let him go. now they have.

jones wants a big splash.

even for the conservative - the cause for speculation is obvious and yes, possible.

huge gamble, but huge payout if done right and the two WRs can stay in check for a common goal.

And the nfc has the Cowboys, Giants, Greenbay, Seattle, and the Eagles. So whats your point? Remember, every team in the NFC east (except Washington) played the Pats right up to the end. That sounds pretty strong to me.:starspin

I highly disagree. We'd be much better. We have a better TE, two #1 wr's and a better RB
