How is Moss a problem?
Everybody always wants draft picks, but will a rookie WR be ready to make the same impact as Moss? Very doubtful.
I'm just glad we're getting something out of this deal.

Matt, there were several teams interested in him. They could have used the #9 for one WR and signed lower tiered free agent or started Jacobs as the other WR. Then they could have used the draft pick from Coles to help another area of the team. I am sure with the teams interested that they could have gotten a high pick out of one of them. And now we have to give Moss the big deal that the Jets don't want to give him. Whereas the Jets are getting Coles who's better than Moss at like 2 mil a year while we have to pay the big money for a lesser player. I don't think we are making out on this deal all that well. I know you are saying it's better than nothing, but if Samuels gets a new deal in place then cutting him for nothing would no longer be an option anyway. If he agrees to give up the 5 mil, I will back off a bit but the way this looks now i hate it.
