Randy Moss Calls It Quits: Goes Down As One Of The NFL’s Best Ever
According to the AP, his agent Joel Segal said that after considering offers from multiple teams, Moss decided it was time to walk away.
Moss was one of the last big name wide receivers to not have signed so far this year. Plaxico Burress signed with the Jets yesterday and rumors have it that Braylon Edwards may be signing with Arizona.
One could make a strong case that Randy Moss was the 2nd best wide receiver ever only behind legendary Jerry Rice. Moss stands in 8th place tied with Hines Ward (954) in career receptions, 5th in total yards (14,858), and tied for 2nd with Terrell Owens (153) for most career touchdowns. In 2007 while playing in New England, Moss broke Jerry Rice’s record of most touchdowns in a season with 23.
After jumping around last season from New England to Minnesota and finally being cut by Tennessee, fans were hoping for a huge comeback season, but at the age of 34, it is no major surprise.
From a fantasy football perspective, his decision to retire surely stopped many inexperienced owners from drafting the star purely on his name and then being disappointed early in the season with their poor choice.
With Randy Moss retired & Terrell Owens undoubtably playing his last season, who will step up to be the next big showboat player of the next decade?
