Show Me The Money Amid speculation that he might want out of Minnesota, Moss and the Vikings agree to an eight-year, $75 million contract that included an $18 million signing bonus. "I've been planning on this day for a long time," Moss said in a statement at the time. "Security for me and my family is now here. I would like to give a big thanks to God for making my talent and my name stand out, and being able to keep me healthy so that I could be in this position." Moss had one year left on a four-year deal that would have paid him a base of $3.5 million in 2001.
