The only way this would have worked out is if Moss ripped up his deal and redid a 1-year with incentives. Otherwise, the moment he got fewer catches than DD or Jennings, he would have just shut it down and there would be nothing GB can do. Once the first game starts, all $9.5 mil of Moss' salary was guaranteed. There's a very good chance we would have "TO part 2" on our hands at some point during the season.I know we all want to win at all costs, but the potential damage to a primarily young team of Moss pulling his Oakland stunt if we started out slow would be extremely risky. Atleast with a 1-year with incentives he wouldn't get any money unless he kept behavior in line. Without it, we would have gotten hosed at some point.Honestly, I'm a little disappointed in TT that he was willing to create that kind of situation even for a 5th rounder.</blockquote>
