I think I would at least look at him if I'm the patriots...maybe dont make him our #1 priority when looking at WR's....but if say lloyd goes somewhere else for more $$ and Reggie Wayne follows peyton...for a reasonable price I would take him.

he might not be the randy moss of old, but he doesnt need to be. just someone who can beat man coverage and get off the jam...something that branch can't do.

I have no idea.
Well good answer..better than the folks who swear moss is shot, and the ones who say there is no chance of him coming back

You know, the ones who must workout with him every day, knew his medical condition last year, and who have inside info on patriots personal moves.

So sayin no way the pats would take him back is silly.
The Titans were the only team to claim him. Pats were 32nd in the pecking order at the time, so there was no point of claiming him.

Wow...

He can run a 4.35 forty right now?

That should be a 'prove it' statement when he goes on team visits. If he can run a 4.5 flat I'd take him serious.

I doubt he breaks 4.5 though...Look, Moss has always been a freak, never a worker....The guy isn't intrinsically driven to succeed. He just "plays when he wants to play".

Randy Moss' idea of off-season training consists of Apple Jacks, Xbox 360, Netflix, and UFC on Pay-Per view...He's the first in line at Game Stop when the new Modern Warfare comes out.

Randy was bored at home this morning. He thought to himself "Man, I'd like to be playing some footyball again"...So he made a video.

I love Moss...Maybe the most naturally talented wide receiver to ever play, and if he could run a sub 4.5 forty I'd love for the Pats to kiss and makeup for another season...But I highly doubt Moss is capable.

He should show up at the Scouting Combine and shock the world.

If Moss can run a sub 4.5 40 I would be thoroughly impressed. I keep thinking to myself is this even possible? Maybe, maybe not. But there was a reason we let him go. Maybe that reason is for the best. With that said It would be a very interesting move if they decide to bring him back (And when I say if i mean very, very unlikely. In my opinion of course)

Moss running a 4.35 seems far fetched but I absolutely believe he can run 4.5 or under. Him being a freak is the only thing that makes that possible. I don't care how hard someone like Torry Holt works at age 35, they're not maintaining anything close to their peak speed.

Not relevant to your post, but just want to point out that claiming a guy and wanting a guy are two different things.
Its possible many teams were willing to give Moss a shot at the prorated minimum.
But only 1 (or maybe a few after the Titans) wanted him at his prorated salary.

I am not sure Pats brass would be willing to give Moss another shot, but I am pretty sure Moss would come back in a heart beat. I think they should go.for it and go for Lloyd as well. They would be nearly unstoppable. I can live without Branch and 85 if need be. My 2¢.
Moss quote:

“I got something on my shoulder and it’s a chip that I need to get it off,” Moss said.

Though earlier in the day he seemed to be willing to play for any team that is willing to have him, Moss hinted that he wants a team that will compete, and that is “missing a piece here and there.”

He said wants to win a Super Bowl; he said his socks got sweaty from nerves as he was rooting for the Patriots to beat the Giants in Super Bowl XLVI.

Moss candidly admitted to a variety of regrets. “I got regrets of how I left New England,
