Randy Moss Might Be Coming Back, Who Will Sign Randy Moss?

According to Adam Shefter, Randy Moss is considering a comeback.

Randy Moss’s only stipulations are that Randy Moss returns to a winning team with a seasoned quarterback. Seeing as how it’s just the third game in the season, it’s impossible to predict who is guaranteed to be a winning team.

But the other requirement — the seasoned QB part — that is not debatable. There are only a handful of those in the league.

And then you have to think about just who is crazy enough to take Randy Moss? The coach would also have to have his s**t together or they’re going to end up with a post-game conference like this.

Let’s break down our top five best places for Randy Moss to end up. (Randy Moss would be proud of our lack of pronoun usage.)

5.) Baltimore Ravens

While Joe Flacco may not be the definition of a seasoned quarterback, this team has a lot of things in place to be attractive for Moss.  Flacco has been there for a few years now, so the Ravens’ QB situation is very stable. With leaders like Ray Lewis and Ed Reed already on the team, there is not any chance of a divided locker room. And John Harbaugh is strong enough to keep Moss in check if need be.

4.) Pittsburgh Steelers

Can you imagine seeing Randy Moss in the black and gold? He doesn’t really seem to fit the mold, but the Steelers have the stability to withstand a few Mossisms. Ben Rapelisberger has won two Super Bowls already and has started in three. That’s pretty damn successful. And the Steelers could really use a downfield threat like Moss.

3.) Philadelphia Eagles

Why not? Don’t tell me Randy Moss wouldn’t relish the chance to become part of the so-called “Dream Team.” Seasoned QB? Check. Stable coaching? Check. Is the team crazy enough to sign him? Double-check.

2.) Green Bay Packers

Remember when he fake mooned Packers fans in end zone and Joe Buck almost had a heart attack? Nothing says I’m sorry like catching a 56-yard TD pass in the 4th Quarter. I think Lambeau would forgive and forget pretty easily. While no one will confuse Mike McCarthy for Tom Landry, they are fresh off a Super Bowl win and look to continue that trend this year. Oh, and Aaron Rodgers could be the best QB in the NFL right now.

1.) New England Patriots

Sorry to kill the suspense, but this is probably where Moss will end up. It’s pretty obvious. Just a couple weeks ago Tom Brady was expressing his love for Randy Moss, telling reporters “I love Randy, he’s one of the greatest receivers in the history of the game, one of the greatest players I’ve had a chance to play with. But unfortunately, I don’t make personnel decisions.”

Moss already knows the Patriots offense. That helps both parties. Bill Belichick already knows what he would be getting into, so there is very little risk. Tom Brady is one of the best QB’s of all time.

Mike Florio reported early in September that Randy Moss would return to the NFL if the Patriots came calling.

This announcement is probably just Moss’s way of trying to get the Patriots to hurry the f**k up and sign him. From his perspective, if the Patriots think that he may go somewhere else, it could increase their sense of urgency.

Other teams that didn’t quite make the cut:

New Orleans Saints. Drew Brees is great, but Randy Moss doesn’t seem to be the kind of receiver that Brees works best with.
New York Jets. They have a Randy Moss kind of attitude, but Mark Sanchez kind of sucks.
San Diego Chargers. Philip Rivers is also a seasoned NFL QB, but I have a feeling Randy Moss would eat Norv Turner for lunch.

One thing is certain, this league is a whole lot more exciting with Randy Moss in it.
