Steelers Are Interested in Randy Moss (if You Believe the Boston Herald)
Published 3/2/2008 by Ryan Wilson at FanHouse
Filed under: Cowboys, NY Giants, Packers, Patriots, Saints, Steelers, NFL Fans, NFL Rumors, NFL Free Agency So we've gone from, "Yep, I definitely want to end my career in New England," to "Yep, I definitely want to get paid; it's about straight cash, homey." Look, I don't blame Randy Moss for claiming he wanted to stay with the Patriots (hey, that's what good teammate do), or for wanting one last ginormous payday. After last season's 23-touchdown effort, Moss deserves to be the NFL's richest wideout. That probably won't happen in New England, which is why we're now talking about potential ...

The Moss watch continues
Published 3/2/2008 at ESPN.com - NFL Nation - Blog
The most intriguing story line of free agency is starting to cause panic among Patriots fans. I'm receiving at least 10 e-mails per hour demanding updates on the star receiver. Boston Herald beat writer John Tomase, currently the arch-nemesis of Bill Belichick, has put together a list of the most likely destinations for Moss should he decide not to return to the Patriots. I thought it would be done by now, but with each passing hour, there's a better chance Moss signs with another team. Here's Tomase's top-5 list, which is led by Jerry Jones and the Cowboys. Jerry loves making a big splash more than anyone, but surely he recognizes that putting ...

Randy Moss analysis

ANALYSIS Some thoughts on the Patriots and Randy Moss: When the deadline for placing the franchise tag on players passed and the Patriots did not tag Randy Moss the tone for negotiations was set. While the Patriots could have restricted Moss's free-agent movement with the tag, they apparently decided that it was a better approach to play nice. Moss, they likely believed, wasn't ...

Before the start of free agency, Bernard Berrian indicated he wanted a contract similar to the 6-year, $36mm deal Deion Branch received from the Seattle Seahawks a season ago.

Pay the Man

Posted 3/2/2008 on 18 to 88

Randy Moss looks like he might still be a free agent when the weekend is over. I'm not going to go off about how the Pats are done if they don't keep him. I've been wrong about the Pats before. They are the cockroaches of the NFL. They could survive a nuclear blast. I also point to how people have written off the Colts time and again. These teams aren't going anywhere as long as Manning and ...

Why Are Randy Moss & The Patriots Playing Hardball With Each Other?

Posted 3/1/2008 on Sportaphile

During the 2007 season, Randy Moss set the single season record for TD receptions, and Tom Brady set the single season record for TD passes, so why is Randy a free agent right now? I fully expected New England to franchise tag Moss before free agency started, but in a curiously odd move, they decided NOT to tie him down. While watching ESPN yesterday afternoon, The Cryptkeeper reported that ...

Whither Randy Moss? [Rabbit Season! Free Agent Season! Rabbit Season!]

Posted 2/29/2008 on Deadspin

So the NFL Free Agent Season officially kicked off today, and there was much rejoicing . But the really big news (for me, anyway) is still far way, apparently: Brett Favre is still in limbo, and Randy Moss isn't talking (although speculation is he's heading to the Panthers). Until there's news on either of those fronts -- or the 49ers sign Tom Brady -- please do not disturb me. I'll be in my ...
