Let's look at the facts.
1.) Moss is certifiably insane. But that can be managed.
2.) Moss has to play for a winner. So far so good, KC fits that bill.
3.) Moss needs a strong head coach. (See #1.) Haley... check.
4.) Moss needs to be a low risk signing. He is. If he acts up, cut him.
5.) Moss will stretch the field, whether he goes 10 for 135 or 2 for 28.
The problems he had in New England started when he felt disrespected because he didn't get his new contract. Now that he's had a taste of real life, he sees things a little differently. Look at it as a "he thought the grass was greener" situation, like a married guy who gets a little tired of the same ol' 'tang and wanders, and then realizes how good he actually had it. Moss simply started taking the Patriots for granted. He quickly realized there are a lot of suck-ass coaches running losing teams with crappy management (hello, Vikings). Thus, if he signs with a strong team which fits the requirements I mentioned, he would at the very least behave for the rest of this season.
Does he take a few plays off? Sure. But the point is, he STILL commands attention. The other team needs to know where he is. They'll roll coverage, double-team him, etc.,. He will bring the DBs downfield and give Cassel more room in the middle to operate with Moeaki and McCluster.
I'm not saying give the guy a new 3-year $30M deal. But, for the relative chump change of his remaining contract, Haley should certainly consider putting in a waiver claim. As has been said, chances are they don't get him anyway, but it's worth a try.
