Sinorice Moss Says He Does Not Want to Be Traded: Contrary to Friday’s blurb in The New York Post that said the agent for WR Sinorice Moss wanted his client traded, Moss said yesterday he preferred to remain with the Giants.
“I haven’t spoken to anyone about being traded,” said Moss. “That’s not even on my mind. My mind is to do what I have to do for the team, and when I get my opportunities, make some plays. I would love to be here. This is where I want to be. Why not? I don’t want to be nowhere else. But whatever it is, it is. I just want to make some plays.”
Moss was the only active player on the team to not play last week against the Rams.
“I mean, honestly, I don’t know what to think about it,” said Moss. “I’m going to keep working and stay positive, like I’ve been since Day One. And when that time comes, just be a humble person and go out there and shine. Yeah, it does get tougher. I work hard every day. I come out here, I go to work, my coaches see what I do, my teammates see what I do. So it gets frustrating. You want the opportunity to go out and help the team win games. I had a lot of opportunities last year and I helped the team. But I want to do it this year.”
“I really can’t go off,” Moss said. “I don’t know how other guys have handled this situation, but I wasn’t brought up that way. I wasn’t raised that way to go bad-mouthing and go public. That’s not me. All I need to do is focus on myself and take care of what I can take care of, so I can have that opportunity to stay on the field.”
“Sometimes I’ll be wishing that people could come and watch me practice,” Moss said. “But they’ll get their chance. The whole world will see it.”
