Randy Moss Not Franchised

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.

I dont know that we would have the space to sign him to what its going to take, but if we can why not. The guy was nothing short of awesome last year. His attitude changed, he just wants to win. I think given the weapons we have here with Santana, Randel El, Cooley and Portis it may be something that is attractive to him. Danny will no doubt look to see what its going to take. I dont know why anyone would NOT want to take a see what its going to take.

IF we can work it out, why not? he puts us on whole other level offensively if he signs here.

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.

Let's try to be objective here for just a moment:

At the top of his game, Randy Moss is better than ANY WR the Redskins have put on the field since Bobby Mitchell retired - - and maybe he's even better than Bobby Mitchell. None of the heroes this team has put on the field for the past decade can even aspire to be a jock-sniffer in the elite status that Randy Moss and a few other WRs in NFL history inhabit.

In case I haven't made myself clear, Randy Moss is so much better than any WR the Redskins have been able to put on the field in the past 30 years that it isn't even worthy of discussion.

So ... should the Skins try to sign him? No!

Randy Moss has shown in college and in the NFL that he excels under two different sets of circumstances:

1. HE is THE man and the focus of ALL the offensive accolades for the team.

or

2. The team is destined for the Super Bowl - - or better yet - - is destined to be undefeated for the season.

Neither of these conditions is likely to obtain in Washington in 2008 or 2009 or 2010 and that's the length of time - at a minimum - it will take to sign Moss and pay him and have his guaranteed money spread out sufficiently that it does not turn him into a salary cap nightmare.

Bottom Line: He's not worth the risk/cost.

I couldnt have said it better myself. The Skins dont win enough to keep Moss happy and out of trouble. He might be worth the risk/cost for some teams but not the Skins.

Well this all may be a dead issue. Just read that the reason that the Pats did not franchise Moss is because they may be close to a new long-term deal.

Article goes on to say that the new deal won't be announced until February 29th, the start of the new "NFL year".

Patriots possibly near deal with Moss | New England Patriots | projo.com | The Providence Journal (http://www.projo.com/patriots/content/sp_fbn_combine22_02-22-08_6L93T65_v8.32d778b.html)

Well, I think you are mistaken, he was one of the main reasons the Patriots were 16-0.

Sure he was...his talent is unquestioned. However assume he's a redskin and he is not catching 23 TD's because JC is not Tom Brady...and on top of him not having huge numbers imagine the skins are around a .500 team. Then do we start seeing the Randy Moss that sulks and misses half a season with mysterious groin issues? Everyone wants to credit the wonderful Pats locker room for keeping Moss in line. The reality is that we don't know whether Moss is really changed or not becasue that team had no adversity...people show thier true character at times of adversity. 16-0 teams don't have any adversity.

He wants to win a Super Bowl, why would he sign for the Redskins?

So are so saying we can't win the Super Bowl?

There is NO way Randy Moss becomes a Redskins. COnsistent Tom Brady versus NEW COACH AND RISING QB?

I think he wants a ring, and respects the game to much...

He's staying in NE
A rising QB, not yet but we hope.
