DonCorleone Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Needell: Moss-Pats update by Paul Needell Monday March 03, 2008, 2:17 PM ESPN's Chris Mortenson is reporting Patriots star WR Randy Moss and the team have agreed on a $27-million, three-year contract. Details to come when there's more info. This should calm down Patriots Nation, panicked over the loss of CBs Asante Samuel (Eagles) and Randall Gay (Saints). A nice way for the Belicheats to divert attention away from the losses in free agency. Similarly, it's no coincidence that the Steelers have announced the mega-new deal for QB Ben Roethlisberger ($102 million, eight years, $36 million guaranteed) on the same day the Jets officially introduce ex-Steelers LG Alan Faneca. Don't think for a second teams don't react to losses during free agency. It's often about public perception. Fans do count. Teams have to justify what they do to ticket buyers paying more every year for the right to put their fannies in the seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JETS11269 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 This scares me, as it should for any Jets, Bills, or Fins fan. If Moss stays, he might not necessarily reproduce last years numbers, but you can bet he'll still be as effective as ever. Stallworth is gone, but Welker and Gaffney aren't. Brady will still be licking his chops over the weapons available to him. And with next year's easy schedule, I would not be surprised if they made another run at 16-0.

PatriotReign37 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Hell of a deal if I do say so myself. Like L Coles said upon hearing Moss was a Pat in 07 "Oh, sh_t ,The guy's a great player," Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny green balls Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 time for moss to take the pats to turd town. so funny that everyone was saying he was on his best behavior last year. only one allegation of woman beating and an extortion scandal is a good year for him! now that he's been shown the money it's gonna be a chit show.

Garb Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I don't think 9 mil per year is all that crazy for the single season TD reception king. Call me nuts. Plus, one thing some of you don't get. It's all about the up-front bonus money - the guaranteed stuff. It's all wishful thinking on your parts - thinking he will implode. Maybe he will. Maybe Damien Woody will blow-up to 475 pounds. I mean, it's all speculative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Randy Moss is worth $9M/yr a hell of a lot more than Bernard Berrian is worth $7M/yr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny green balls Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Can we also have a when will Damien Woody eat his way out of a job pool? let's combine the two. ------------ Which will occur first? Randy Moss is accused of battery against a female. (-1000) Damien Woody 'eats himself' off the Jets roster. (+1200) ------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterNorth09 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Randy Moss is worth $9M/yr a hell of a lot more than Bernard Berrian is worth $7M/yr. Who's the whack job that gave Bernard Berrian $7mil a year? That's just flat out stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sperm Edwards Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Who's the whack job that gave Bernard Berrian $7mil a year? That's just flat out stupid. lol, no sh*t. Minnesota gave him a 6 year/$42M contract. He's fast, certainly has talent, and will occasionally be on the receiving end of a big play; but he's really inconsistent & drops a lot of passes. But they were desperate, I guess. Lots of teams overpay for so-so players (who are occasionally great & occasionally awful) when they're in that situation. Hopefully we didn't do the same with Damien Woody. He's a #2 WR getting paid like a top-5 WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
