I wish him the best of luck in his efforts to prolong his career.

Randy Moss
- may be too old to beat press coverage at this point
- doesn't run the full route tree
- probably can't block in the running game effectively
- gronk, welker, hernandez, ridley/bjge on the field leaves 1 spot for a skill position player. randy's limited route tree and low-percentage pass targets seems like a poor choice for that spot at this point. decoys aren't going to win games against good teams.

If he signs for the vet minimum, ala Torry Hold a couple of years ago, then sure. It would at least be possible to keep them both for training camp and see if either one of them is worth a roster spot.

Look, I'll be honest, I'm a HUGE Randy Moss fan (always have been, even before he was on the Pats). While I may be biased, here's how I see it....

Randy Moss still has some of the greatest hands in the game. The problem that Moss was running into was that he was having a much harder time creating separation from defenders. Therefore, even with his great hands, defenders were able to, well, play defense on him. If you bring Moss back as your main weapon, then I agree, not worth it. Defenders will be able to cover him.

IF you bring him in as your 4th option, well, now we are talking. The Patriots have many other weapons that deserve defensive attention (Gronk, Welker, and Hernandez). Therefore, it would be illogical for teams to double Moss, and that's when he can do his damage.

I think Moss has been humbled by his last year in the league. Personally, I think Moss really just wanted an extended contract. When he said 'sign me or trade me', I think he really thought the Pats would sign him. The Pats called his bluff, and I think he would come back as a humbled player.

Been following him on Twitter. He still has lots of lockerroom connections with Pats. Heck, only reason I knew his Twitter handle was Vince Wilfork telling people to follow him.

I hope we bring him back. I hope he comes if we try.

So you want to rely on a 34-year-old Wayne and a 35-year-old Moss?

Terrible.

Hey Reggie how would you like to come and play for New England for 3 and 1/2 mill for 2 seasons? Sure why not. I mean I'm worth 6-8 million on the open market but for you guys I'll take one for the team.
