Getty ImagesWe pointed out on Tuesday that, although receiver Randy Moss impressed the Saints with his route-running, he didn’t run 40 yards in a straight line with a stopwatch ticking.
I’ve re-confirmed, via multiple sources, that Moss indeed did not run a 40-yard dash, because there is at least one report that he did. And at least 100 of you have pointed via email and/or Twitter.
Contrary to those reports, Moss didn’t run a 40-yard dash.
It’s still unknown whether he wasn’t asked to run a 40, or whether he declined. (Or whether they offered him $1,500 if he could break 4.4. seconds.)
Moss has claimed that he can still run a 4.3. Of course, a guy doesn’t have to run the 40 to prove that he can still run.
He’ll be doing some more running for at least two unnamed teams next week.

It’ll be good to have Moss back in the league… if his head is right, that is.
The only fast 40 moss is going to run again is to the bank with some dumb teams money.
He didn’t want Rich Eisen to show him up.
Make it happen, Loomis.
I’d love Moss to come join my Ravens, but we don’t do enough 3 wide sets to keep him happy. Although with Cam you never know…
What would happen if Luck went 0-16 for the Colts this coming season? Would they trade him for Manning?
Bengals are taking a look at him I heard.
Straight dash, homie.
Most guys in the league say they can run a 4.3, until you actually ask them to prove it, then its a different story.
Did they ask him if he would be willing to kill revis?
Go back to the Patriots! Unfinished business, homie.
“whether they offered him $1,500 if he could break 4.4. seconds”
Is that a bounty?
here we go with the bounty crap on every Saints post… yuk yuk yuk, poor taste and too soon..
Here comes the bounty jokes…..but that was weak!!!
Instead, he hit a saint, going 40
Brees to Moss could be scary…… Also having Sproles doesn’t hurt either. That team could be even more fun to watch with or without the upcoming suspended coaches.
You used some version of the word “run” ten times in this post.
I bet the Redskins are one of the other two teams.
hmmm
sketchy info comming from the Saints?
say it aint so..
It will take one missed read from Brees, or whatever other sorry team that sings him, for him to throw his arms up and start bitching on the sideline.
Good luck with that.
Dude, after you run your forty at the combine and pro day you never run another one.
only PFT would actually think he was going to run a 40. OBVIOUSLY he cant run a 4.3, he’s randy moss, he was TALKING. geeze guys
Vincent Jackson in a Saints uniform > moss.
Big Route Running Deep Threat WR > Old Deep Threat WR
Did Moss even claim he could run a 4.3? Wasn’t that Cris Carter?
The question isn’t if he ran a 40, it’s did he drink any?
He better be VERY careful what he says to the caterer in NO. They will beat him down if he talks trash about cajun food.
Put a bounty on him, then make him run.
Taints
More like he drank a 40 of St. Ides…..
Maybe he didn’t run a 40 because no one in the league is asked or required to run a 40 after their combine/pro day?
So the reports that he ran the 40 in 4.4 seconds were a little off?
Reporters are a joke.
If they made him a D-back, he could probably make a lot more money……….
How was the buffet at the Saints place Randy?
I love Moss but who cares. Are you going to post an article for every free agent workout where they don’t run a 40?
Who cares how fast you run the 40 in? You never run 40 yards uncontested in the NFL. Can he get off the line and get open is the question.
CORRECTION: Moss ran to buy a 40.
Cool, I really missed Randy Moss on Madden.
yay make jokes about the most serious scandal ever
I dont see this going well if the 49ers pick up Moss. There is no way that Moss could be happy with Smith throwing him the ball.
