Disagree. He will be excited to be there. Much like Meariweather from Miami. They will understand how a REAL team is run. I put Belly dick right up there behind Gibbs.

I love this move by the Pats. I think that if he's gonna be happy anywhere it's going to be in New England. I think he's probably over having to get the ball all the time if a team is winning football games. I think receivers get more upset when the team is losing and they're not involved. I kinda agree because if you feel like you can help a team win, but you're not getting that opportunity, it's understandable to be frustrated. I don't like the way Moss goes about expressing it most of the time, but I think that will change with the Pats. I think Belichick and Brady can rein him in.

Great move for the Pats. His potential to return to All-Pro form is at least 50/50. He is surrounded by a great organization with lots of character guys. If he doesn't work out what has NE lost, a fourth rounder. What did we do with our fourth rounder for this year.....case closed.

Ah, good point that's a better value than the fourth we gave up for Lloyd

This is just further evidence that we need an experienced GM at Redskins Park. We are always shopping for groceries on an empty stomach.

Not only do the Patriots get Randy Moss, but they get him at a discount! Now the chance for a championship has something to do with it, but Randy Moss was on a HOF track until he went to Oakland. He's better than any receiver you'll find left on the draft board, plus he'll be catching passes from Tom Brady. Great trade, great value, great gm. And he's going to restructure his contract for less money!

Lets see: The Pats get a reciever that although is considered a head case has some pretty amazing career stats and was considered a elite reciever in Minnesota and the Pats have to give up a 4th rounder to get him.

Meanwhile the Redskins go out and get a wr that is also considered a headcase (at least by former 49ers, but not as much of a headcase as Moss) who does not have great career stats but has "potential" and the Skins have to give up not just a 4th rounder but also a 3rd rounder.

Just think we could have had a chance to grab either a potential guard to replace Dockery or a DE who can actually get pressure on the qb but we are stuck with 0td, 30 some odd receptions a year Brandon Llyod - good job Front Office. Here is my suggestion - stop trading draft picks and get Denver and SF off the speedial button at Redskin Park.

I think its a huge pickup for NE. I mean a 4th rounder might not even make the team, so to get Randy Moss instead is a huge steal. He'll like in NE because they are a good team and go to the playoffs often. He'll be a top 10 receiver again I bet.

I think this is a HUGE pickup for NE. And the fact that the man still runs a 4.29 is unreal.

I doubt Randy Moss will be a malcontent. Even if he doesn't get the ball as much as he wants, he won't be in the type of environment where mouthing off is allowed. The veteran players will keep him in check, IMO.

I've always seen Moss as the type of player who wants to fit in, and will be careful not to alienate himself. The only times I have seen him be a poor teammate is when there are other questionable teammates on the same team. Unlike Owens, I don't think he'll put himself in a position where the rest of the team hates him.

Moss has lost a step, or maybe his motivation level is just shot after playing in the black hole. If he can't revive himself in New England he probably never will.

4.29? Damn that's blazing

[SBXVII]

I hope they make it to the play offs and who ever the NFC team is I hope they stomp them.lol. Just to tease Moss. He's only going because he wants to win a SB. He wants a ring.

That's pretty much exactly why you dont trade mid round picks for replacement level receivers.

I guess our FO is going to prove that point experimentally. Ah well, better late than never.

What a fantastic move. New England for whatever reason can streamline malcontents into their system without incident. Corey Dillon came over and led the league in rushing his first year with the team, while helping them win a superbowl. People forget that there were a lot of questions about this move at the time. As long as they are winning games, and they will be, Moss won't complain.
