That's a good deal for both sides in my opinion... I'd bet the Pats wanted to lock Moss up longer - so long as that didn't raise the guaranteed money too much more, giving them a chance to stretch out the guranteed money further.
It's a fair price and Moss still has an opportunity to cash in again in 3 years (when there might be a new CBA - or possibly even an uncapped year.)
But I still have some serious qualms about Moss saying one thing and doing another, saying he only wanted to play for the Pats and then shopping himself elsewhere to raise his price, after saying he wasn't going after top dollar.
If Tom Brady decided to explore the market for a trade to a team that would offer him the most money I'd feel the same way with his departure from character and statements about playing for New England, with winning being more important than money. I'm not one to hold Moss or any player to a lower standard.
Moss will likely have to address how his statements and actions differed when he goes before the media, but in the end I give both sides credit for finding this compromise that works well for both sides, and I'm glad to have him back.
