Why trade Moss? Because Coles will help the Jets

Written by Guest Writer Patriotsy2k

Being Patriotsy2k, it is really not my business to 2nd guess or to analyze other teams, especially their biggest rival. I do not agree with some of the things the Pats are doing so far in this free agency period - Troy Brown being at the front of that list after everything he's done for the Pats. So in looking at this Coles-Moss trade, my first reaction was why the Jets would give up on a player so explosive as him, who can also return a punt the distance.

Moss was injury plagued through his Jets days, and also is a free agent coming up. Coles will go back to the Jets where he thrived and is finally out of Washington, where he didn't agree with Joe Gibbs. The Jets just have to pay 8 million in guaranteed $ to the cap, while The Redskins get nothing back for the 13 million they gave him in 2003.

If Coles is not affected by his much discussed toe injury that apparently has affected him the past 2 seasons, this trade will be a success for the Jets. Even last year with this problem he had 90 catches.

Finally, I am sure the Godfather will rip this article, even though I am not criticizing the Jets, simply because he'll argue with anything I say...
