Moss deal done

The Patriots have just announced the re-signing of receiver Randy Moss. Moss reportedly has received a three-year, $27 million contract, which includes a $12 million signing bonus -- if true, that's $4 million less in guaranteed money than Bernard Berrian got from the Vikings. Berrian isn't the receiver that Moss is.

In a statement, Bill Belichick said of Moss, “What Randy did for our team last year was outstanding. He is one of our most consistent, competitive and team-oriented players and it is undoubtedly a relationship we are excited to continue.”

New England also signed former Buffalo receiver Sam Aiken today. Aiken, a five-year veteran, is a special-teams standout.
