So when his next employer — the Oakland Raiders — began to sour on Moss’ perceived lack of efforts (as well as his public statement about not being able to tolerate all the losing taking place in Oakland), they shopped him around to several teams, eventually moving him to New England for just a fourth-round pick.
And apropos of the Raiders’ luck in the 2000’s, Moss would immediately go on to set the NFL record for most touchdown catches in one season in New England (23), helping the Patriots to an undefeated regular season.
