Moss eventually acted up, and so they traded him out of town after getting a few really good years out of him.

The Ochocinco experiment was a failure, but when the move happened I think everybody expected him to have a career rejuvenation simply because it was the Patriots.
The lockout hurt him the most considering he never had a real chance to learn and get used to the new system. Also didn't help he arrived right when BB started to redo the formation in a 2 TE set.

The bigger bust was Haynesworth considering he had the potential to really improve the pass rush core and instead barely bothered to do anything.
