“I have been retired for the last two years, but you never know”, said the 38-year-old wide receiver-turned analyst.
Obviously, there aren’t many teams that would be interested in Moss but there could be a few.
When discussing his love of the game and the passion he still has for it, Moss revealed that he had been working out and that a return was possible.
Randy Moss had a memorable three-plus years in New England.
Moss had last played in the NFL in 2012, when he suited up for the San Francisco 49ers.
While it is not common, Jerry Rice put up elite numbers until he was 40, according to Pro Football Reference. The 1998 Associated Press Rookie of the Year and six-time Pro Bowler is second all-time with 156 career receiving touchdowns and third all-time with 15,292 receiving yards. In those seasons, he put up 1,139 yards and 1,211 yards for a total of 16 touchdowns.
Whether Moss would be effective in 2015 remains to be seen (if he returns), but he boasts some of the best numbers in the history of the league at his position. Mike Reiss of ESPN questioned Moss on August 20 about the possibility. The Panthers have a clear need after the loss of receiver Kelvin Benjamin for the season with a torn ACL, but they seem to be intent on sticking with in-house options.
The timing was fascinating, given the truth that Inexperienced Bay Packers receiver Jordy Nelson suffered a knee damage Sunday that reportedly will sideline him for the season. The Patriots are another possibility. He said last week he remains close with Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
