Randy Moss Is Back?

Making news today was Randy Moss, who announced using live webchat on his 35th birthday that he would be attempting a comeback in the NFL.  He sat out all of last year for what he described as off the field issues that needed to be resolved.  In 2010, he gave a half-hearted effort with the Patriots, Vikings, and Titans, and then he decided to retire.  But Moss is back, or at least he hopes so.

Potential landing spots could be the Patriots, Ravens, Bears, 49ers, Jets and other teams that are need of help at receiver.  The Patriots make sense because Brady loves Moss and they've had great success in the past.  The Ravens make some sense because Boldin and Smith are good, but Lee Evans basically cost them a shot at the Super Bowl.  My team the Bears makes sense because they are just flat-out thin at wide receiver and lack a big, fast guy like Randy Moss.  I bet Cutler would love throwing to a target like that.  The 49ers make sense because of their ineptitude at receiver as Crabtree is starting to look like an average player at best.  Vernon Davis is a freak, but he can't do it alone.  The Jets may make sense because they are probably going to lose Plaxico Burress in free agency.  I'm sure other teams may be interested as well.

The problem, though, is that any NFL team wants to know if he is really committed to playing football at the highest level he can.  Moss has been known to give up at times despite his immense talent and speed, so teams want to know if he will be committed or not.  He will definitely get back into football shape, but it's just a matter of how bad he wants to be successful with his comeback.  Teams can take this gamble, and they are just hoping it'll pay off in a big way.  Randy's outlandish ways are fun, but teams just want to know if he can give maximum effort on the football field at age 35.
