Default Moss close to deal with Patriots

Per Boston Globe:

Also, Sirius NFL Radio referenced a report (couldn't hear from where) that the terms were looking like 3 years, 30 mil with a signing bonus in excess of 35 mil.

The Pat's are an average team without him. Wish he'd sign elsewhere.

That report is clearly wrong. You can probably cut those numbers in half.

*cough* Like I said, cut it in half.

3 years, $27 million total.

Sounds like Moss gave them a bargain, at least depending on what the bonus is.

yup....pretty much kills any shot Javon has at wanting another big contract right now. He'll probably have to do something similar as Moss and Stallworth did last year. Sign a one year deal, hope he lights it up, then try to cash in next off-season.

If true, its simply not fair.

Bernard Berrian 3yrs $23mill Plus additional 3yrs of funny money which will likely be future dead cap space.

Randy Moss 3yrs $27mill

Pats just made the Vikes look like the faiders.
