The deadline for placing franchise tags on players has passed, and the Patriots have not tagged WR Randy Moss.

That could mean that the sides have agreed to a multi-year contract. Yet a multi-year contract can not be announced until the 2008 league year begins Feb. 29, because players can not extend/restructure more than once in a league year. Moss had restructured his deal in April to consummate his trade to New England.

The Patriots did not place the franchise tag on any player.

That's a bit of a surprise. Not that they didn't tag Moss, but that they didn't tag anyone. I think the pats should trade the players with the higher salaries. I don't want them to, but it's got to be done. That or they restructure. Players like Colvin and Stallworth. I'd love to keep Colvin, but I don't think he should get the 8 mil he's scheduled to make.

I think stallworth has a 2% chance of staying he will be cut.

I wouldnt say anything is definite now, if they tug him then sure it was a given but this leaves a window open for what has to be a WR looking to get paid.
