"In this case, Randy experienced some intangibles during the year, from his friendships, to his relationship with the coaching staff and others in the organization.

According to a report on Pro Football Talk, wide receiver Randy Moss and the New England Patriots have agreed to terms, which would keep him united with quarterback Tom Brady. Enough with this foolishness already, sign him. New England has taken some serious blows to their secondary in free agency with the losses of Asante Samuel and Randall Gay.

Favre's decision on next season could come soon, and if Moss was his top receiver, you could presume that Favre would return.

This would obviously be a good thing for Moss and quarterback Tom Brady to remain united at the hip.
