Maybe Dad needs to take a trip to Florence and watch daughter play. There's no quit in that young lady!

 

I know that he's been to at least two of her games this season.

1. San Francisco

 

• Why it works: We all know Moss plays better and harder when he's with a team that has legitimate Super Bowl chances. It's the way he's wired. The 49ers made the NFC title game last season, and they probably would have won it if they had any kind of threat at receiver. San Francisco got all of one completion for three yards from their wide receivers against the Giants, even though the game went well into overtime.

 

• Why it doesn't work: You get the feeling 49ers tightly-wound head coach Jim Harbaugh would not abide by players who aren't 100 percent committed team-first guys above all else. I think it's fair to say that at points during his long and successful NFL career, Moss has not been a 100 percent committed team-first guy. And yes, I went for understatement with that last line.

 

2. New Orleans

 

• Why it works: Again, the Saints are Super Bowl contenders, so that helps on the keeping-Moss-motivated front. And playing with Drew Brees and for Sean Payton might be about as close as it gets to his beloved New England experience for Moss. If the Saints lose big-play receiver Marques Colston in free agency, you could at least see New Orleans considering a roll of the dice on Moss and his field-stretching talents.

 

• Why it doesn't work: Brees is every bit as instrumental to what New Orleans does as Brady is in New England, and I'm skeptical that he'd welcome Moss with open arms and give the move a stamp of approval after seeing how things ended with Moss and the Patriots. Again, this is where Moss's track record for a me-first approach and disinterested effort level could come back to haunt him, closing a door before it even opens.

 

3. New England

 

• Why it works: The Patriots and Belichick are willing to bring players back to town, as they've done in recent years with Deion Branch, Tully Banta-Cain, and others. Brady and Moss are still friends, and even last season No. 12 said he'd be open to Moss returning to the club. Belichick still finds ways to praise Moss publicly from time to time, and as the Super Bowl again showed, the Patriots still need a deep-threat receiver who can take the top off a defense. With Bill O'Brien gone, and Josh McDaniels back in the offensive coordinator role, the playcaller Moss thrived under would be back on the job.

 

• Why it doesn't work: It just feels like the Patriots have been there and done that, and long since moved on. They probably got the best out of Moss, and they know it. It wouldn't be 2007 all over again if they gave Moss another shot, even if the results weren't as bad as early 2010 either. New England has two firsts and two seconds in this year's draft, and chances are a long-ball threat comes either via that or in a deep crop of free-agent receivers.

 

4. New York Jets

 

• Why it works: The Jets and Plaxico Burress are going to part ways in free agency, and New York could use another tall, athletic receiver to target in the red zone. Burress caught eight touchdown passes in 2011, and that production has to be made up for somewhere. Signing Moss also keeps him away from the hated Patriots, and New York might view it as a wise pre-emptive move. The Jets could reason they're either going to be playing against Moss, or with him.

 

• Why it doesn't work: Pairing Moss and malcontent Santonio Holmes at receiver? Fourth-year quarterback Mark Sanchez might be the next one to retire. Instantly.

 

5. Washington

 

• Why it works: The Redskins obviously need more firepower at receiver, and the twin-Moss attack of Randy and Santana (not related) would be a decent start. After all, it feels like win-or-else time in Washington this season, so what does embattled head coach Mike Shanahan have to lose? Moss might not be excited to join the last-place Redskins, but if they're the only team putting on the full-court press, I guess we'll find out just how motivated he is to return to the playing field.

 

• Why it doesn't work: Again, the tandem of Moss and incumbent Washington starting quarterback Rex Grossman just seems like a chemistry experiment waiting to explode. The Redskins are probably going to draft a quarterback as well, but how long until Moss's dedication and commitment start to waver if Washington keeps losing? And after Albert Haynesworth and Donovan McNabb, can Shanahan really invite any more problem players to D.C.?

No way, the Bengals just got rid of most of the problem children, no way do they turn around and add one.

 

I wouldn't be against it if it is incentive based, and if they also sign Jerome Simpson back. I'm not worried about the locker room, because the locker room I believe does finally have enough strong people who could deal with Moss. Which you need to have that strong lockerroom if you bring him in, and I believe the Bengals actually have that. You could bring him in for cheap filled with incentives, and if he is any trouble at all then cut him. Then you still have Simpson back who played #2 last year and Shipley back as well.

 

I am not saying they definitely should sign him, however if they were to do something like I just said with him. Then I wouldn't be totall against it. The guy I would LOVE to see them go after is Reggie Wayne!

I have a feeling Wayne might follow Manning wherever he goes. I would like to see him in a Bengal uniform though.

I have a feeling Wayne will be in San Fran. Be really interesting if Peyton+Randy talked and tried to go somewhere together! Catching balls from Peyton Manning would motivate me and he will let Moss have it if he slacks!

I think Miami should go after Moss and Peyton Manning. How about that?

 

At the least, I bet that would excite the fan base down there.

Interesting how it was put about Randy Moss the other day on a show I was listening to. You could argue Moss has the greatest physical tool set of any WR ever. You could also argue Moss has least utilized his skill set more than any WR ever.

Randy is working out with the 49ers today. Harbaugh will throw to him.

 

Moss worked out last week with the Saints. Saints brought in Brian Brohm to throw to him.
