The utility Moss will provide this team post-33 years of age will likely be a big goose-egg. It might seem unjust, but I care about the team's welfare more than I care about one player. The team needs assets that will provide more than just one more good year for us. We need players who have provide at least 5 years of service.
I disagree, he is definitely not the Santana of old, but he did have a good year last year and even if he is not the best receiver on the team anymore, which I am not yet convinced is the case, he can still contribute off the bench, in the slot, and especially as a mentor to the young WR corp we now have that needs a guiding hand. If you are saying he has shown that he will not be able to provide for this team 5 years down the road, I agree with you. But to say not to resign someone that can help us next exclusively because they will not contribute 5 years down the road is ludicrous. He can help us now and why would we not want someone who can help this team next year?

So you think Santana will move from first on the stat chart (by a wide margin) to......last in the space of one off-season?
THAT should be interesting indeed.
BTW, your beliefs are idiotic!

Not sure if you read him correctly. He said "post 33 years of age". He's currently 32, so I'm assuming he's saying he's got one more year of productivity until he's pretty much done. His belief isn't that idiotic.
Perhaps I was premature.
BTW, the "idiotic" thing was from another thread. I was just trying it out to see if I liked it but I thank you for your input!

Will Moss improve the returns on Hankerson, Armstrong, etc to be worth the risk of letting a Antonio Dixon of WRs to slip away? Moss isn't going to transplant his younger legs to the other receivers. If we're to keep Moss for one more year, he better be a hell of a "wise teacher" to improve the games of Hank, Armstrong, etc.

Counter-intuitive and potentially idiotic. ;)

Of course we should resign Moss.... of course.
Id like to nab Randy Moss or Plaxico ALSO..
but that may be a longshot at this point.
Santana FIRST before anything.
He's so underrated and productive its sickening. No brainer here.

Arguements are good on both sides for Moss. As long as Moss is the only WR free agent we sign, im great with it. Im a strong strong believer in getting a positive, productive Vetern at every key group on the team while in this rebuilding process. We need vetern leadership to help make this transition. Moss with the young bunch of WRs is nothing but a positive. He is also our go to guy when we need a big play, cant lose that right now. Bring Moss back...but i dont want mutiple vets at WR, just Moss.
Keep it short term and a sensible deal $$ wise.

Oh noes! I mean what the heck. Did he not pay attention during the Bears game?
