faba Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Monday is Randy Moss' birthday, and he had an announcement to commemorate the occasion: He wants to end his brief retirement and return to professional football in 2012. "I wanna play football," Moss said on UStream on Monday morning. "Your boy is going to come back here and play some football, so I'm really excited. I had some things I had to adjust in my life." SportsNation: Randy Moss unretires? Moss abruptly retired on Aug. 1 with a one-sentence statement from his agent, Joel Segal. But the ink had scarcely dried on the stories listing his career accomplishments -- 954 receptions for 14,858 yards and 153 touchdowns over 13 seasons -- when reports began to surface that Moss would be willing to return if the right situation presented itself. Tom Brady, with whom he connected for a single-season record 23 touchdowns for the Patriots in 2007, even said he'd welcome Moss back to New England. That didn't happen. But Moss, who turned 35 on Monday, says he's ready to get back on the field and that he has his family's blessing: "It's fine, whatever you wanna do," he said of their reaction to his plans. "Faith, family, and football, that's my M.O., bro," he added. Moss Moss' retirement followed a turbulent 2010, in which he was traded by the Patriots back to Minnesota, released by the Vikings and picked up by the Tennessee Titans. He recorded career lows of 28 catches for 393 yards and five TDs that season. Moss' 153 touchdown receptions are tied with Terrell Owens for second on the career list. He's fifth all-time in yards and ninth in receptions. Selected 21st overall by the Minnesota Vikings from Marshall in 1998, Moss set about punishing the 20 teams that passed him over in the draft, catching 17 touchdown passes his rookie season on his way to the Offensive Rookie of the Year award. He led the NFL in touchdown receptions five times, was selected to the Pro Bowl six times and was named first team All-Pro four times. His 23 TDs in 2007 led the entire NFL and his 138 points scored that season were second only to kicker Mason Crosby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguini 15 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 he isn't coming here. i'd take braylon back before him. the last thing we need is another over-the-hill receiver to sign a one year contract and spend the season working on building chemistry with sanchez.

JetsFanInDenver Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Signing him to an incentive laden contract might not be a bad thing for the JETS. And the JETS will not be in much of a rush. They can always approach this after the draft. It would be a much better deal than signing Plax was last year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kleckineau Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Moss / Holmes, cancer / herpes. Choose your poison but Sanchez cant hit either one of them past 20 yds if his life depended on it so what does it matter. Trying to upgrade the receiving corp while Sanchez is QB makes no sense at all and is a complete waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be on the radar. If the JETS sign him with a contract laden with performance and good citizen incentives than its a huge upgrade from Plax. And Plax can take his sorry a$$ to Eagles or whichever team is dumb enough to have him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlancemehlot Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Here's the thing...Randy Moss is a deep threat. He's always been really fast, and strong as hell. He's a once-in a decade athlete. And I think he's been humbled. I hated the Plax pick-up, the Mason debacle and the Holmes re-up at premium price. But picking up Moss on the cheap...I do not hate this idea. Holmes, Braylon, Moss. Kerley gets another development year + special teams. Would anyone see this as a bad WR corps? Neither Braylon nor Moss can be bank breakers after their last stints. And WR need comes off the draft board until 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
