Who knows? Maybe, because of his past, the patriots put in his contract he needed to keep his nose clean, really clean and such allegations could cause problems for him and his agent.
The letter by Moss's agent, Tim Dipiero, said in part: I still didn’t want Randy to face all this craziness, and naturally we wanted to settle this thing and were willing to pay an exorbitant amount to do so, so when he asked for an offer on Monday, we said, something to the effect, “you said six figures, how about $100,000?” He said it had to be $500,000 or nothing.
100K. Why would Randy throw six figures on the table if he is totally innocent? Now, that being said, it appears that complainant's lawyer is a bottom-dweller who is trying to extract a settlement that has no relationship whatsoever to the supposed injury.
Indeed, it could fairly be said that complainant attorney is CHEATING the system. To many Patriot fans, cheating is only bad when they are the ones aggreived.
