Sinorice Moss is getting upset

Receiver Sinorice Moss, a second-round draft pick in 2006 who has failed to deliver on his potential in three NFL seasons, is too miffed to see the handwriting on the wall.

Moss is mad because he got few opportunities during the team's third preseason game, on Saturday night against the Jets.

"You have to ask the coach," Moss said after the game regarding his lack of use, per the New York Post.  "I have no explanation.  I really don't know what to say about what happened.  When I did step on the field, I went out and did my best."

The most likely explanation is that the Giants have decided that Moss doesn't fit into their plans, and that they don't want to risk Moss suffering a season-ending injury for which they'd owe his 2009 salary of $535,000.

"I'm not worried about it at all," Moss said of the possibility that "former" will soon be applied to his title.  "There's no need to stress myself out worrying about what's going on.  Hey, [they] brought these guys in for a reason, they used 'em tonight to see what they could do and they did real well.  I know what I can do for this team.  I've been saying that since I've been here."

The only problem?  Regardless of what Santana's younger brother has been saying, there hasn't been much doing.  In three seasons, he has appeared in only 29 of a possible 48 regular-season games, with a mere two starts.  He has 38 career catches for 403 yards and two touchdowns.

For the 2009 preseason, Moss has two catches for 10 total yards.

If this is the end of the line for Moss in New York, he'll likely have good company.  By all appearances, Super Bowl XLII hero David Tyree will be making helmet catches somewhere else in 2009 -- possibly in the UFL.
