Pats Re-Sign Moss

Everyone in New England can breathe a big sigh of relief today.  The Patriots have re-signed Randy Moss to a three-year 27 million dollar deal.  The contract reportedly includes 16 million dollars in guaranteed money, not to mention a 12 million dollar signing bonus, according to ESPN.com.  The deal caps off nearly a week of free agency for Moss, who probably did take a little less money to stay with the Patriots.  I’m sure there was at least one team out there who offered Moss a fourth year, which would have meant a few more million for the receiver.

Due to his high profile, ripples of Moss’s re-signing are being felt immediately in the NFL.  Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre retired, with rumors swirling that he would have returned had the Packers signed Moss.  This only goes to show what a difference-maker Randy Moss truly is in the NFL.  While no one will be calling for the Patriots to go undefeated again next season, they have to be the odds-on favorites to return to the Super Bowl.  As Moss’s agent put it, “[Randy Moss and the Patriots] have unfinished business.”
