You're a fan so it's understandable you would overlook the business side of the deal.

They're not winning the Super Bowl this year with or without him. This move gives them something. A 3rd round pick for that guy is a solid deal. It would be a HORRIBLE business decision to give him a 3 year deal. He's not getting any better or younger.

Business-wise, clearly the deal makes sense. NBA teams do this all the time- trade a final-year-of-contract player for something rather than let them walk as a FA for nothing. I thought for sure it was a bluff week 1 by Randy to get something done- I guess I was either wrong or the Pats called the bluff. But I agree with RHT that if Belichick is making this move with the premonition that they can still with the Super Bowl without him... he's being way overconfident. I still like my 10-6, 11-5 and 1st round exit from the playoffs prediction for them.

10-6 would be amazing, but that offense cant beat Pitt, Jets, Baltimore in the playoffs. Its all done.... Bill is cocky as they come, he did not do this being happy with 10-6, he thinks they can win it all. Its insane.

It feels more like Belichick not wanting the distraction around anymore. After Moss whined about not getting enough love after game 1, I think he decided his own fate. Belichick runs a tight ship. If you listen to his players when they are interviewed they are obviously well coached in what to say and what not to say. He doesn't put up with Moss type antics and when he could, got rid of him.

I can't stand Belichick but IMO this was a smart move. Get rid of the distraction, get a draft pick and there is enough left of the season that it won't effect them too much. Their offense is always going to score points in bunches. Not having Moss isn't going to change that. Their defense is going to be what makes or breaks them this year.
