Randy Moss: Savvy Businessman

Randy Moss is moron. He’s in the process of signing a 3 year, $27 million deal with the Patriots. How does this make sense? Keep in mind this will almost definitely be Moss’s last chance to sign a big contract. Marvin Harrison was slightly older than Moss when in 2004 he signed his 7 year, $67 million contract. Marvin received $23 million in guaranteed money. So unless this report is false Moss has cheated himself out of a sizeable amount of money. This guy had 98 catches and 23 touchdowns last year and ran his routes like a rookie.

As another point of reference Asante Samuel is getting $20 million guaranteed on his 6 year, $57 million deal with the Eagles. The guaranteed money will be the key to fairly judging the Moss contract, but as it stands now it looks very questionable. I’d be very surprised if another club isn’t willing to outdo the Pats by a wide margin. More on this as it develops.
