The team's decision not to tag Moss by no means should be taken as an indication the mercurial wideout won't remain a Patriot. In fact, it would be hard to imagine Moss not wanting to return for another year. Indeed, Boston Globe beat writer Mike Reiss suggests that failing to tag Moss 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. ... If that's not the case, Moss will be able to entertain offers from other teams once the signing period begins -- and based on his huge 2007 totals and the solid effort expended to rack them up, there will be plenty of interest.
