| Re: Randy Moss Traded To New England For Fourth Round Draft Pick Tom. I will agree to some level about the letting of players go, but I will try to back it up with their thinking......
McGinest has proven he was on the back 9, but still wanted to be paid like a full time productive player. (Prey tell, what exactly did he do in Cleveland this past year?)
Vinateri was a tough loss for Pats fans, but the fact of the matter is he was the highest paid kicker in the league for some 4 years. How much are we supposed to pay a kicker? Don't you think he was overpaid? The Colts gave him a 5 year, 12 million dollar contract.
Branch was a holdout working off his rookie contract. Essentially he wanted his rookie deal to be ripped up, and to be given a new contract for 6 years. That would have set a HORRIBLE pressedint (how the heck do you spell that?)
Not to mention the fact that the Pats picked up a first round draft pick for him, and then turned around and got a much better reciever for a 4th round pick.
Who is better? Branch or Moss? |
