Why Moss isn't getting offers
Posted: Monday March 03, 2008 07:03AM ET
Three days have passed since Randy Moss hit the open market, reportedly seeking to find a better deal than what the Pats already have put on the table. However, the Pats' offer appears to be the only one of note that has been extended to him. They're likely close because Moss hasn't found a market. He's found no takers; at least, no one in the media has heard about any. One prominent agent has a theory as to why there's been no buzz about offers or visits involving the high-profile receiver. He suggested "the market is chilled" because the perception is Moss is merely going to use the offer to have the Patriots match it. Why get involved if you know Moss is going to end up with the Pats no matter what? The feeling is, the negotiations are still ongoing with the Patriots. He's trying to find a better deal so he can get a better one with the Pats. That's the bottom line.
