Randy Moss Not Franchised

[dmek25]

you guys make me laugh. remember back when Moss walked off the field against Washington before the game was over? just about everyone around here said nothing but how big a cancer he is, and hoped he never would suit up in D.C. as for the patriots not franchising him, i don't think its out of respect. name one player the patriots have gone out of their way to show respect to. they have had some of their own walk away, without an inkling of gratitude. i say he ends up elsewhere. and in my opinion, not here

how many of those players had 22 receiving TDs and brady's full backing?

i really think Randy Moss is all about Randy Moss. who ever gives him the fattest contract, is where he will end up. i guess time will tell

maybe, but that doesn't help explain why he took a $5M paycut last year to play for NE.

I'm sure he wants a payday, but I think he wants a payday with a contender. I don't think we'll see him going back to an Oakland caliber of team anytime soon.

i think he was out to prove to everyone that he could still be an elite receiver, after that disaster in Oakland. and sandtrap, that's like saying what came first, the chicken or the egg? i can argue that New England would have went undefeated during the regular season without Moss. it seemed like in all of those close games, it was Welker, Gaffney, or someone other then Moss winning the game for them. and, to change the subject alittle, my best friend, who is a huge cowboy fan, said in the Dallas paper, the cowboys are very interested in Moss. have you heard anything about this?

And I can argue that the success of Welker and Gafney in those situations was the double and triple teaming on Moss. Moss does not have to catch the winning ball to be a contributing factor. Just being on the field is enough. You think a defense is going to have single coverage on the teams most potent WR with the game on the line?

No I have not heard that at all about Moss and Dallas, if you have a link I am interested in reading it. But that is about it.

Moss to Dallas does not sound like a good marriage to me at all. If anything Dallas has to get younger at WR. Owens is 35 and Glenn is 34. Crayton just signed an extension and had a good regular season but choked in the post season.

Glenn will get released I believe. That knee problem won't go away.

We already have one "diva" WR, why would we need another?

Besides, who would get to wear number 81?

The "original 81" or the "other 81"?

Dallas had their chance at Moss 10 years ago when they passed on him in the draft.

Moss will not go to Dallas. Moss hates Dallas. Ever since they told him they would draft him, then passed on him he's held a grudge. Check his career numbers vs Dallas.

I seriously doubt he'd go to Dallas now. He's staying in NE. It's the perfect situation for him. He wants a ring and I can't think of any team that has a better chance every single year than the pats.
