I still think that he has some talent left but it is difficult to know how much given his proclivity to under-perform when he is unhappy with his role…

I think he will be signed to a an incentive-laden contract with a desperate team like my Cowgirls! ha ha ha

He “loses a step” when his trust and respect issues flare up. In Minnesota, he wasn’t perfect, but he played hard for Dennis Green. After Red McCombs handed the reins to Mike Tice, Moss lost all trust and respect for the organization. Oakland? There was nothing to trust or respect there. In New England, he lost respect for Bill Belichick and Bill O’Brien for shifting the offense away from him (he knew he was still their best offensive weapon), and didn’t trust the organization for what he perceived as a lack of financial appreciation for its veteran players. Back to Minnesota, Moss found himself in a locker room filled with mistrust and disrespect for Brad Childress. By the time he got to Tennessee, Moss was completely gone mentally. It’s ultimately up to him to pull himself out of this, but he’ll need the help of a coach that he can trust and respect like no other. Rex Ryan may be that coach. Ironically, does anyone trust or respect Randy Moss? http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1178810/index.htm

Please continue to sign older players out of their prime, and scratch younger players off your roster. Much appreciated.

He would fit in with the Jets. There is always room for another title pretender on that team.

Having said that, he’s still incredible when he even tries.

A motivated Moss is an unstoppable Moss and he can still turn it on in ways that other players simply can not. He was balling in NE last year. Did you see that 1 handed catch on Revis? He didnt “lose a step,” He quit because Chilly was a jerk to him, and then he went to an offense where he was not part of the gameplan. So please, to all of you hating on Moss. That is why you are not a GM or coach. Stick to playing Madden, where you wont sign a hall of fame WR because his speed rating dropped from 99- 90. Fools.

Not to mention there was not one play in the Titans playbook for Randy, he’s still at the top of the free agent receivers for this year.

Moss goes hard when he plays for winning teams, through history you can’t argue against that. Unfortunately with him it’s all or nothing but since the Jets are a team that has turned into a consistent Super Bowl contender, I guarantee he would be an asset. If winning isn’t enough, I’m sure getting back at the Pats for defying his talents will keep him motivated.

The same for Brad Smith. Which leaves arguably the Jets MVP form alst season Braylon Edwards.

Edwards does so many things well. Block, catch balls over the middle, hustles, had great hands last year with 1 drop (a diff stat service had him down for 2 total drops) last season and the Jets deep threat. Moss only fills one of those roles a deep threat. But he does it very well. More than likely Moss and Plaxxico’s names are being dropped to encourage Braylon to sign for a reasonable price.

But then again the Jets might be serious in signing one of these guys either as an alternative if Braylon does not resign or as a possible replacement for Cotchery. Cotchery had an awful year last year. He has always been very dependable but had a ton of big drops last year. If his decline continues the Jets might need a veteran for the 3rd WR role while their 2 draft picks develop.

Also the douche factor is way too high on the Jets,an out of control Moss with no decent role-models to control him will never work.

This would be the best news ever for the Patriots. He can cost the jets a games against NE like he did for the Patriots against the Jets.

****************

By having his QB overthrow him by a wide margin for an INT and then have one ball juggled around and come down in the hands of the defender by pure chance?

Instead of Moss, the Jets ought to make Carolina’s Steve Smith an offer he can’t refuse. He may not be as talented as Moss, but he has ten times the heart. I can see Smith hauling in passes from Sanchez the way he did from Jake D. during the Panther’s SuperBowl year.

No doubt, Rex should sign them all.

He’s lost a step everyone knows that, but, one thing he hasn’t lost, is his self destructive personality.

Alot has changed since then – once you have been a great (and Randy will go down as one of the best ever) its very difficult to picture him buying into being anything less than that.

Randy don’t do ‘role player’ which is all that most contending teams can offer him.
