This could mean one of three things. 1) The Patriots have no deal in place with Moss, are content to let him walk, and he's about to sign elsewhere for a whole lot of money. 2) The Patriots are waiting to see what someone else offers Moss, and then decide whether or not they want to match it. 3) The Patriots do have a deal in place with Moss, but are just screwing with everyone, while Bob Kraft and Bill Belichick sit back and laugh while lesser teams try to land ...
