Philly fans: Say it aint so!
from http://blogs.phillyburbs.com
I am in pain even writing this. John Czarnecki of Fox Sports reports that RandyMoss and the Pats are not even close on a new deal. Moss is likely to hit the open market and offer the Pats the chance to match his best offer. Anyone want to take a guess at who his biggest suitor may be?
No, the Philadelphia Eagles are unlikely to make a play for Moss and I think that is a good thing. The Dallas Cowboys are rumored to be highly interested in the Pro Bowl wide receiver. The Cowboys could throw the bank at Moss and suit him up alongside Terrell Owens every weekend. My God, I think I am already scared.
The move makes a ton of sense for the Cowboys. Let’s face it, the problem in the Giants game wasn’t the defense. The offense couldn’t put points on the board. Randy Moss himself isn’t going to make a difference, but the overall offense would be dynamite. Who are you going to double-team? If you double Moss, you leave Owens open and vice versa. If you are going to play the pass, you open up the run all day for Barber. What do you do with Witten if you are a defense? Even Tony Romo can win a playoff game with that offense.
As explosive the Patriots offense was, they still couldn’t win the Super Bowl. Even with Moss, the Cowboy offense would still not be as lethal as the Patriot offense of 2007. However, the Cowboys play in the NFC with a lot less competition than the Patriots have. Who is going to stop the Cowboys with that kind of offense?
Deep down I believe that the Patriots are going to match whatever is offered to Moss and keep him. However, Jerry Jones with a new stadium coming is going to do everything he can to make the Cowboys the best show in the NFL. Adding Moss could mean millions of dollars in luxury boxes for the Cowboys. The financial return on the investment would mean more immediately for the Cowboys than the Pats. Jones is creative and he could structure a deal that would make it impossible for the Pats to match.
Free agency starts Friday. Joe Banner can spin all he wants about high-priced free agents, but give me the Cowboys with Moss, Owens, Witten, and Barber over the Eagles any day of the week.
