MOSS DEAL DONE
A league source tells us that the Patriots and receiver Randy Moss (http://www.profootballtalk.com/rumormill.htm#) have agreed to a new contract. Per the source, the deal is for three years, $27 million.
The contract hasn't been signed, and the language is being finalized.
It's unknown how much of the deal is guaranteed, signing bonus, etc.
Smart move to retain him.

ESPN just reported that the deal is not done, but it's in the works and there are some kinks to iron out.
Either way, it looks likely he will sign with the Pats, and that's a smart move for them. I was hoping that wouldn't happen, but oh well.

Scrap that, ESPN just reported that it is now a done deal.

that's pretty damn cheap for a player who just had a season of the calibur Moss just had.

I really thought he was getting ready to bolt. I don't know how the Pats continue to be able to convince guys to take less than their market value but props to them for being able to pull it off. Other teams like Philly, Pittsburgh, and Baltimore show a lot of discipline in letting their good players walk, but New England keeps them for less money than they are worth!

I agree with you for the most part, but 9 mil a year is hardly less than he's worth. If he was franchised he would have gotten paid 7.2 mil for 1 year. He went for about what he was worth.

Well I don't mean worth in the abstract sense, I mean what he could get on the open market. I am sure he could have signed a larger contract for longer with more guaranteed, coming off the greatest season in NFL history.
