At a Moss for answers on Randy’s suitors
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.

A report by the NFL Network’s Adam Schefter intimated the Pats were “close” to re-signing the wide receiver, and had a “standing multi-year offer to make him one of the highest-paid receivers in the NFL.” Schefter essentially made his case based on what he feels about the negotiation, saying, “It’s not that they’re getting close, I think they’ve always been close.”

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.

And how is that possible? Why hasn’t any team made Moss an offer, and if a team has, why hasn’t anyone in the media heard about it?....
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 [team stats] match it.

Why get involved if you know Moss is going to end up with the Pats no matter what?

Teams don’t want to be used in that fashion; that’s why there hasn’t been what’s known as “popcorn bidding,” where Moss gets to work all the teams against each other to push up the bids.

ESPN and Pro Football Talk have reported that the contract was pretty much a done deal, as the Pats have finally locked up the free agent
