Mr.Moss hits the Market (again)

Randy Moss is (arguably) one of the greatest wide receivers of all time. And he's a free agent.

Personally, I'm indifferent as to whether he stays in or leaves New England, but judging by recent events in Foxboro, how does it go, "how the mighty have fallen." First Asante Samuel, then Wilson and Gay, which leave who in their defensive backfield?

Then Donte Stallworth bolts for "greener" pastures in Cleveland.

I'm not a New England Patriot hater by any means, but Pats fans.. no matter how hard you want to downplay the significance of the free agency depatures by comparing it to past years when the Pats have let big names go in the offseason, this is going to hurt. How much? Now thats up for debate.

Unfortunately, no argument, no matter how well reasoned, will prove valid until the season kicks off once again in September. Until then, speculation will run rampant. Opinions will dominate the media like a late game, Kobe Bryant-esque offensive flurry. None of it will matter though, not a single bit, until the Patriots step on the field.

If Randy Moss does elect money over loyalty, the possible places he could end up are if anything, entertaining to think about. A combination of Moss/TO in Dallas would be as close to unstoppable as a tandem could be, until week 3 when TO complains about not getting touches in the redzone. Peyton launching rockets to Randy in Indy.. now thats not even fair for the rest of the league. New Orleans? Philly? Miami?

Ok.. Miami was a joke. No one wants to play there (sorry Miami fans).
