The Regime Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 JUPITER, Fla. -- Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss, who is entering the final year of his contract, said that he doesn't expect to get a new deal with the Patriots and that he thinks he'll be looking for a new team after this season. "I don't think they are going to extend my contract here," said Moss, speaking to reporters at the charity softball game of former Patriots teammate Heath Evans. "I understand the beast, the nature of it. I think that just with what I think and what I know I don't think they're going to re-sign me back. So, after this season if there is not a lockout I'll be looking for a new team. I got a lot of respect for the Patriots and what they did for me and my family. So, the only thing I can do is just play this year out and see what my future holds after that. " Moss is slated to make $6.4 million in base salary in the final year of the three-year, $27 million deal he signed with the Patriots following his record-setting 2007 season. He was still productive last season, catching 83 passes for 1,264 yards and tied for the NFL lead with 13 touchdown receptions. Moss was asked why he felt the team wouldn't bring him back. "It's the business of it, man," said Moss, who turned 33 this month. "You got to understand the business of football. There is not bad blood. There is no animosity on my side or their side. I think it's just the nature of the business of the NFL. "You know the Patriots don't really pay, so when I got my second contract from them that was a blessing in disguise. I understand the business. I don't think they're going to re-sign me back. I'm not mad. I'm not bitter. It's just the way things are in this NFL, so like I said after this year I'll be looking for a new team. I think so." Moss was asked to expound on his theory that the Patriots "don't really pay" and said it's just the organization's philosophy. "That's not a knock on them. That's just how they run their organization," said Moss. "That's how it is. Put it like this, I guess that before I came there the philosophy was believing in their system. I think that's where they really don't pay guys because they have so much faith in their system. I didn't mean it as a knock against the organization. They just don't pay. If as an individual I'm not really in their future plans I would like to go elsewhere." Like Moss, quarterback Tom Brady is also entering the final year of his contract. Moss was much more optimistic about Brady's future as a Patriot than his own. "Like I said, man, I don't really know what's going on with his situation or his contract, but if you ask me personally I think that Tom Brady is going to be a New England Patriot," said Moss. But as far as me I don't really know. I know I would like a new contract. I think I've done enough to have a new contract. "The last couple of years I've played through so much. You know I've never let the team down, as far as going out there every Sunday. I still showed at 32 years of age, now I'm 33, that I am durable. So, like I said if they want to give me a new contract I would entertain that, but I don't really think that I'm going to be a New England Patriot next year. So, I'll play this year out and then look for whatever the future is next." http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/extra_points/2010/02/moss_doesnt_exp.html Poor ECN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastNiner Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 The "era" has not come to an end considering that last season was a transition year, and they are putting together a great defense, and they are an excellent drafting team.

Rajon Rondo Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Brady without Moss : 3 championshipsBrady with Moss : 0 championships Love Moss, but Brady has won it all three times with no-name receivers. Not that worried, either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastNiner Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 you would be the only one to say that they have a chance I never said anything about having a "chance" at anything, even though they still have a strong chance.
