Patriots WR Moss could leave New England as contract expires

2010 is the last year of the three-year contract between New England Patriots and wide receiver Randy Moss and Moss expects that the Patriots are likely to let him leave as the contract expires because a 33-year-old wide receiver could be expendable in the league.

"I don’t think they going to extend my contract here," Moss told reporters, per the Boston Globe, today while attending a charity softball game in Florida. "I understand the beast, the nature of it. I think that just with what I think and what I know I don’t think they’re going to re-sign me back. So, after this season if there is not a lockout I’ll be looking for a new team. I got a lot of respect for the Patriots and what they did for me and my family. So, the only thing I can do is just play this year out and see what my future holds after that."

With the contract, the Patriots should pay totally $27 million to Moss and the base salary in 2010 is $6.4 million. Catching 83 passes for 1,264 yards and 13 touchdowns last year, Moss does not expect the Patriots to pay much for retaining a receiver at his age. However, he believes quarterback Tom Brady will continue wearing the Patriots jerseys with a long-term contract.
