Moss doesn't expect to be a Patriot after 2010

"That's not a knock on them. That's just how they run their
organization," said Moss. "That's how it is. Put it like this, I guess
that before I came there the philosophy was believing in their system.
I think that's where they really don't pay guys because they have so
much faith in their system. I didn't mean it as a knock against the
organization. They just don't pay. If as an individual I'm not really
in their future plans I would like to go elsewhere."
Like Moss, quarterback Tom Brady is also entering the final year of his contract. Moss was much more optimistic about Brady's future as a Patriot than his own.
"Like I said, man, I don't really know what's going on with his situation or his contract, but if you ask me personally I think that Tom Brady is going to be a New England Patriot," said Moss. "But as far as me I don't really know. I know I would like a new contract. I think I've done enough to have a new contract.
"The last couple of years I've played through so much. You know I've never let the team down, as far as going out there every Sunday. I still showed at 32 years of age, now I'm 33, that I am durable. So, like I said if they want to give me a new contract I would entertain that, but I don't really think that I'm going to be a New England Patriot next year. So, I'll play this year out and then look for whatever the future is next."
