Stop hatin! Moss is a beast if he went out and preformed well then give him a deal. The media just like they do with this "bounty" bs is trying to assassinate his character. Randy Moss is 2nd best Wr of all time! Yeah I said it! He is top 5 statistically in every catagory.

Jamessr 03-06-2012 04:39 PM

TBH I think Moss can be handled in the Saints locker room. Brees to Moss would be a great show.
When he gets the ball ofcourse...

Gawd I hope they have the common decency to gimme a reach around.

Bobby Hebert was saying he tore it up today on WWL. Hope he performs during games as well as he did today, and hopefully he will be a team player...

Randy Moss...Lit it up...

I see what you did there. Well played.:)

LBCutta 03-06-2012 06:41 PM

Dude, if we sign Randy and somehow keep Colston and Brees....we will be virtually unstoppable on offense

papz 03-06-2012 06:47 PM

Imagine some poor nickel corner covering motivated and healthy(mentally ) Randy Moss... the thought is very very appealing.

damn right it is. If Moss has recharged his battery then somewhere about midseason some folks are going to be singing a different tune.

LivnaLieTimay 03-06-2012 07:13 PM

Usually I'd be a little skeptical about this type of signing but with everything that has happened in the last couple days I say we go for it and sign him. With the upcoming penalties and a tough cap situation, we're going to need to roll the dice on some guys if we want to win a Super Bowl.

Randy Moss impresses Saints in workout
 
Randy Moss may have to get accustomed to wearing black and gold very soon.

League sources tell sportsNOLA.com that Moss had an off-the-charts workout at the Saints facility this morning.

The 35-year old Moss reportedly perfomed the 40-yard dash in the 4.39 to 4.4 range and ran routes while hauling in nearly 50 passes. One source described Moss as being more impressive than anticipated, saying that he is in great shape.

Moss spoke with Saints officials, including Mickey Loomis and Sean Payton, after the workout and both sides were encouraging to one another. The sources confirm that there is a strong chance of the two sides coming together on a deal that would make Moss a Saint in 2012.

a 4.4 40 at 35...sign him for cheap, and cut him as soon as he becomes unmotivated and cancerous...

CharityMike 03-06-2012 10:42 PM

Why the hell not! This season has already started out a circus, might as well keep it going.

WWL and other sources said he did not run the 40 this morning - that statement by SportsNOLA.com is false.

There was also a statement that surfaced (I noticed my Editor at WhoDatDish said it also) that the Saints were going to offer Moss a contract in the coming days.

I just spoke to Kevin Spain of the New Orleans Times-Picayune. He has informed me at this time there has been no verification that the New Orleans Saints have intent to offer WR Randy Moss a contract in the coming days.

QBREES9 03-06-2012 11:28 PM

He still has a few more teams to vist.

Most definitely. Just wanted to clear the air on a couple things.

Saintsfan4ever 03-07-2012 03:38 AM

I have no doubt Randy Moss is in great shape and has prepared himself for off-season workouts. I'm not surprised he can run routes and catch passes in a workout setting as good as anyone in the league...
But, he's 35. If I could make a living playing flag football, I would play till I was 50, but when 200lb 20yr olds are hitting you at full speed, somewhere around early to mid 30's the human body doesn't tolerate that kind of punishment to allow you to maintain a high level of play from week to week.
I keep thinking about Jerry Rice, he got in few good years after age 35, maybe Randy can too, but the odds tell us that that's the exception and not the rule.
I'd rather take a chance on a younger player than roll the dice with an aging superstar with a potential diva attitude.

Supertek 03-07-2012 06:21 AM

After reading all of comments I lean toward bringing the guy in here. Must be the team knows the probable fate of Colston or Meachem otherewise why bother. But if we were not to lose one or more of our recievers I see no point in it.

papz 03-07-2012 11:13 AM

SportsNOLA.com reports there is a "strong chance" of free agent Randy Moss signing with the Saints after Tuesday's impressive workout.

In "great shape," Moss reportedly touched base with Saints GM Mickey Loomis and coach Sean Payton after the "off-the-charts" workout. "Both sides were encouraging to one another," according to sportsNOLA.com, after Moss clearly exceeded expectations. With Marques Colston and Robert Meachem threatening to leave free agency, the Saints appear to be in the driver's seat for Moss.

Maybe Randy hasn't aged like a normal player... because of all the plays he took off, his body might only be 29 years old in football years :-)

neugey 03-07-2012 07:41 PM

Hey, if Kenny Chesney is worth a training camp invite, then there's nothing wrong with working out Moss. Right?

That's some funny stuff right there!

goguxxx 03-08-2012 12:50 AM

I think most would agree Moss is not a bad player,not even at his age. But his emo brakedowns have killed the teams he was in ... Just picture this : Since his forte is the 9 , he would be a 3rd read for the qb,past the shallow route 1st and 2nd receiver .The qb reads 1,passes to 2 cause he was opened and safer than a long pass to Moss . Moss comes back in the huddle and starts yelling : give me the ball ! give me the ball! give me the ball ! . Thats Randy Moss .

gandhi1007 03-08-2012 05:17 AM

Well......I'll say this.....He's still better than Devery Henderson & Robert Meachem. Just saying...... ;-)

Until he discovers that the ball isn't going o be thrown his was alll of the time.
We don't need a Pimma Donna. He would have to be just another player Brees throws the ball too.

LBCutta 03-08-2012 07:32 AM

lose Devery or Meachem...only one of them though. Sign Colston and Moss. Then when we play the Failclowns and Moss catches a TD I hope he does this to the crowd

Dude is a FREAK, and my last memory of him was him burning Revis for a one armed TD catch.

He should sign cheap, and Brees to Moss should be pretty good.

just my 2 cents.

His deal is he will tryout/play preseason at no expense to a team, then if he makes the team, he wants 5mil w/4mil in bonuses. IDK if the league minimum comes into play in Moss' mind.

I'm really on the fence with this guy regardless of who he'd play for.

jokeray 03-08-2012 08:30 AM

I'm much more comfortable with him playing for someone else's team, not mine. I know what he can do from all those years in Minnesota. Dude tore our lions UP!

If we weren't set at WR, I'd say bring him in for a look. He knows the offense and was extremely successful in it as a Viking.

I disagree. The mere fact that we gave him the time of day, knowing his history, reeks of desperation, and also sends the message that character doesnt really matter. I want guys I can root for. Otherwise I would've been a Cowboys fan in the 90's.

Randy Moss is the Singing Frog. On MNF, you get "Hello My Baby Hello My Darlin Hello My Ragtime Gaaal." Then, when it really comes down to the crunch, when you really need him, you get "....crooaaak." I'd rather
have Lance Moore in the middle on third down and 4.

We can win just fine with good guys, who will catch in the middle AND make TD's. Pay Marques Colston.

RaginCajun83 03-08-2012 09:02 AM

even if they loose Colston and Meachem, I still don't want Moss on this team, hopefully either one of them both somehow come back and all this is just another rumor that dies down

I remember that cartoon ... you can't argue with that logic, seriously.

SmashMouth 03-08-2012 09:57 AM

Is there anyone that can cover him in the NFC South when they have to also worry about Grambeaux, Lance Moore, Henderson, Sproles, etc? Has he learned some expensive lessons the last couple of years? Is he now really motivated as a result? Will he accept an incentive laden cap friendly contract? Is he the best option in the short term in light of Colston's and Meachem's likely departures for fatter contracts? The jury is still out, but methinks not for long. We shall see.

SapperSaint 03-08-2012 10:01 AM

I think this will be a good pick up... as long long as he leaves the diva at the door. And if the money is right.
