Randy Moss is unretiring...the off-season just got another big name FA to obsess about...where will he go? will he be any good? or will he be blanked by the NFL like TO?

Ocho out, Randy in at NE??

Id be surprised if he gets picked up. He doesn't have that top end speed needed to get separation however if he is determined he ll make an impact.

My personal favourite suggestions: Bronco's... deeping running to separate the secondary for some Tebow run options?

Unlikely but based on what Elway wants to do could be an option as previosuly said IF he is determined. More likely a non-runner, he's too good to be getting under-passed and over-thrown to every single play.

49ers don't a have a deep threat, mind you I'm not sure Alex Smith could make a 50+ yard throw or Jim Harbough would like to. Maybe if they got Manning and Moss, that would be pretty good...

The 49ers are in the market for a deep threat receiver but I don't think Moss is where they will go.

Hard to say if Smith can make the throws or not as he hasn't really had anyone to throw those to other than crabtree.

Thev'e done it once or twice this year, some times it is over thrown, other times it has looked ok.

Basically I think Crabtree is a number 2 receiver and they need to bring in a number 1. Edwards obviously didn't work out this year but they still need a deep threat and a red zone target.

Plenty of options out there though.

Reggie Wayne doesnt look like he's going to stay at the Colts, he could be a good move for SF too

Patriots skipped over him the last time around so I think it's slightly unlikely.

I doubt you want a WR like him around young QBs like Gabbert, Newton, Ponder etc. but I could be proven wrong.

Texans seem like an option. Could ease up the pressure on Johnson, they've a strong defense and Schaub could handle him.

Christ no - he'd be a bloody distraction and we have too much of that already.

Not sure he will find a home actually, from where I stand he doesnt have many options.

spud06 · 14-02-2012 12:13pm

Hopefully he goes back to the Pats and joins all the other crap players they have.

Go Miami

ReacherCreature · 14-02-2012 1:38pm

I think he will sign and further more, I think he's chasing that superbowl ring and will want to land where there's a chance of success. Similar to Peyton, either will not want to sign with moribund franchises.

neilster · 14-02-2012 2:14pm

Cris Carter has said he can still run a 4.30 ....if he is in shape and knuckles down and can run that time or a bit off it ...remember Blackmon is a 4.55 dash runner ...he spent 2 years in Oakland fooling the world that he didnt have it and then 2007 , 23 tds and a SuperBowl

im sceptical and theres the Pats cutting and the Vikes and the Titans but he can loaf around when unmotivated ....listen this is no ordinary athlete ..this is Randy Moss so he can do it and its possible but you would have to be sceptical

if he runs still close to 4.30 and appears dedicated and shows up in first class shape...he can seperate ...this is Randy Moss ...

spiralism · 14-02-2012 5:02pm

Sign him up Fox, we're in dire need for depth at receiver

ReacherCreature · 15-02-2012 9:25pm

Sure, speed's nice but the first priority is asking whether he will turn up and play ball. After that I'd be worried if his overall game hasn't deteriorated.

Speed isn't nice, its critical to his game. If he can separate himself then he is awesome because he has the best pair of hands in the business.

The only other thing thats important is that the team he is going to is competitive because he doesn't want to play and will take plays off on a bad team.
