That newspaper said they were interested in him, now Banks thinks it might work. That would essentially put the foot on our throat for the rest of the season.

New England -- Yes, the marriage of Bill Belichick and Moss seems improbable on the surface, but we once said that about Corey Dillon, didn't we? The Patriots need for a go-to receiver is obvious, and they have been willing to take risks in the past on players who might not seem to fit the Patriots model.
As one NFL club executive said: "You can't dismiss it, because at this point in his career, Moss is a veteran player who wants to win and wants to be successful. He already has his money. He wants to get a ring, and he knows he isn't going to win that in Oakland. Can he come into that situation in New England and fly right? The Patriots have shown with Dillon what they can do with a perceived malcontent. How much different was Dillon in Cincinnati than Randy in Oakland? Plus, a good receiver wants to know who his quarterback is, and who's getting him the ball? He's going to get the ball with Tom Brady as his quarterback, and he knows that.''
