On one play they threw the ball to him and he was just jogging and never even turned to look for the ball. I couldnt understand why te coach didnt pull of the field and send him home right then. I would of kicked him of the team after that. He is lucky he dont play for the 49ers. I guarantee you that is what Singletary would of done to him.

I had written half a response about Moss when I noticed Keith's post but I'll just go with it anyways.
A coach/GM obviously has the right to scratch off of his list any guy who doesn't give maximum effort. And many times a guy who quits on one team quits on another. But just as often, a change of scenery convinces a guy to try (even when a million dollar salary wouldn't). That's why TO is a good guy for at least a year with every new team and why Randy Moss has been a model citizen in NE (not just the performance, but the blocking, and the no complaining when he went a month without a pass when Cassell first took over).
The bottom line is that plenty of teams would love to have a guy like Braylon Edwards and they are almost gauranteed that he comes in and works really hard to prove his old team wrong (NFL players are pretty ego motivated if you haven't noticed). It's a far smaller gamble for a GM than taking a WR in the mid/late first round.
