No surprise here.

Now....on to the next silly rumor/fantasy!

There are two Adrian Petersons, but there is only one Marion Barber.

Moss is gone

According to NFL.com

The Patriots and free agent wide receiver Randy Moss agreed to a three-year, $27 million contract on Monday, reports NFL Network's Adam Schefter.

Smart move by the Pats

Obviously

They've lost a few guys over the past week, this is one they needed to keep. I know that conventional wisdom says Belichick can win with your neighbor as a WR, but you don't mess with the chemistry Brady has going with Moss.

What a wierd situation though, this guy scores 23 TDs in one season and he's still looked at as a big risk around the league. It's his own fault of course...

Good

I don't want NE to stay as good as they were, but if he has to sign somewhere, I'm glad it's to a team we don't play.  I was worried that Philly would make a move for him.

after what went on with T.O
philly wasn't going to waste their time on moss.

this also sets T.O.s market value

when Jerry attempts to re-sign him this season.

yeah

but thankfully it's not too much more than what Owens gets now (final year of 3yr, $24 million contract, if I'm not mistaken)

true, T.O.s next contract will be very similar

to his last in terms of length and dollars.

I'm kinda bummin'....I think JJ could've matched

that's relatively cheap I think...JJ should've worked some miricle cap friendly contract like they did with Flo....I for one think Moss would've been the best thing to happen to this team. Shame JJ couldn't redeem himself for skippin' on Moss back in '98....oh well..back to the draft boards..cuz there isn't a FA out there worth a damn.

True Cowboys diehard since 1975.

one of Jerry's smartest moves
was drafting Ellis over Moss.

wow

now that's a full blood homer talking right there.

pwned. don't hate the internet age.

Less than I thought he'd get

He must have taken a discount, because there's got to have been a team willing to pay more for the dude who set a new TD reception record.

I'm sure there are

but any team willing to pay more is probably struggling or rebuilding. And $9 mil a year isn't all that bad (certainly not Fitzgerald money, but still good).

I really don't think Moss

had alot of interest from other teams. The reason he took less.

Moss almost signed with Philly

Apparently they offered him more money and thought they had a deal worked out.  I hate the Pats, but I'm glad he stayed in NE.

+1

Moss is better off in NE. Where we don't have to face him twice a season.
