Some of this can be attributed to Todd Bouman. A lot of the blame, however, must fall to the Jaguars wide receivers. Neither of the starting wide receivers, Mike Sims-Walker or Mike Thomas, is on pace to exceed yards receiving this year.
Moss, if inserted into this Jaguars lineup, would have been a true number one receiver. As it is, the Jags will have to hope that their luck continues against a second half schedule that features the Giants, the Colts, Tennessee, Washington and Houston twice. The Seahawks were one team rumored to have serious interest in Moss.
With a record, Pete Carroll's team did have a shot at the former Viking, but decided to pass. The Seahawks offense, both passing and on the ground, could best be described as stagnant this year. The offense has average just total yards this season.
Although they lead the aforementioned awful NFC West, Seattle has actually been outscored by 17 points this season including a shellacking in Oakland last week. While much is needed on this Seahawks team, a star wide receiver would have been a good place to start. Mike Williams, the team's leading receiver, has just yards and one touchdown this season, and the second best wide receiver, Deon Butler, has just yards on the year.
In such a poor division, the Seahawks still have a great chance at the playoffs this year. Randy Moss would have given them a major advantage over the Cardinals and Rams, though. The Dolphins are one of the more interesting teams in the NFL this season. Miami is on the road and at home. Two spots before the Tennessee Titans in waiver priority, the Dolphins had a chance to land Moss but declined. The Dolphins didn't exactly need Moss.
Brandon Marshall has lived up to expectations as a true number one wide receiver, and Davone Bess and Brian Hartline have been able complements in the passing game.
Moss has a home in South Florida. Miami is a good team, but not a great one. At waiver priority 19, the Bears had an opportunity to snag Moss immediately before the Titans did; however, Moss was not in Chicago's plans.
Former Minnesota Vikings star receiver Randy Moss recently discussed if there is a chance of him ever getting into coaching. A good amount of fans from other teams would also agree that Moss is the best pass-catcher to ever spend time in the league. The former Vikings receiver will forever be known as the guy who always found a way to outleap his opponent to haul in a touchdown pass. Moss used to study his opponents for hours to figure out how he could gain an advantage over them out on the field.
Since retiring, the former Vikings receiver has utilized his wealth of football knowledge as an NFL analyst on television. Moss gave an answer that might be a little surprising to some. But where is the talented yet often maligned receiver most likely to land in ? We rank every team based on their likelihood of picking up Moss in free agency. Read on to see where your favorite team stands.
I'm not saying Moss has all the blame, but he somehow managed to get himself traded back to Minnesota when his actions suggested he didn't want to be there.
Leslie Frazier would have a difficult task to both bring Randy back and also succeed in moving the team away from the nightmarish events last season that divided the team and cost Brad Childress his job.
Frazier has simpler, more important priorities, like finding a quarterback to hitch his wagon to. There is no denying Moss' talent, or his remarkable conformance to wide receiver stereotypes. If the Packers wouldn't go after him when Favre publicly lobbied the Packers to do so, there is even less incentive now.
The Packers generally won't compete for free agents, so there is no story here. Also, I don't think Reggie White ever pseudomooned the Packer fans. While the receiving core is not a concern for the Cardinals , Moss actually could help this team by making life a bit easier for whatever quarterback Ken Whisenhunt pulls out of his hat.
The Cardinals do need a lot of help at other positions and don't have a contending team to woo Moss. Arizona will need to look elsewhere to find ways to get better. Yeah, they got TO. But if Carson Palmer wants out, why would Moss want in? If it did happen, how crazy would it be if Chad Johnson was the third string receiver? I would pay to see the tweets coming out of Cincinnati that day.
As bad as Carolina was last year, WR wasn't the reason. Carolina will look to upgrade their roster elsewhere, especially at QB. It is not a good fit for Moss or the Panthers. Carolina will probably spend most of their discretionary cash on the first overall pick in the draft, so they might be a little strapped when it comes to making Moss an offer.
The 49ers are in full rebuilding mode, and will have some new faces in Randy Moss will not be one of them. The 49ers receiving core could be described as underachieving, and they can hardly afford another high priced wideout when they still haven't figured out to utilize the ones they have.
Moss probably feels the same way that we do about the QB position—worried. The Redskins need Moss. Santana Moss. Not so much. They could use a receiver, but really they are yet another quarterback needy team that has little chance of landing a receiver that wants to contend for a Super Bowl.
While their chances of landing this big fish is slim, if they can't fill a need at receiver in the draft, maybe they look to Moss to fill that gap. Then again, how did Haynesworth work out? I'm not sure Washington is quite ready to get burned in free agency again. Maybe Moss could help a very good Eli Manning become a great Eli Manning The problem is that the Giants receiving core is already pretty good, and the Giants really need help in protection and on defense.
Moss makes an effective decoy, but he can't help keep Manning on his feet. Only tackles and a running game can do that, and the Giants need to figure that out first. Moss would complement this Seahawks receiver core well, providing some speed alongside Mike Williams. While Seattle was a playoff team in , there is not enough confidence in the quarterback position to think adding Moss would actually translate to more wins this year. In a couple years it could prove to be a smart acquisition, but we probably won't get the chance to find out.
While the Broncos may not have a long term need at wide receiver, they are fighting the injury bug there. Moss could also help Orton finally prove that maybe he is a little better than he is generally given credit for, though it probably won't be enough for them to stop trying to replace him anyways.
What a competitor. It is too bad Denver has so many needs on defense because otherwise they might show more interest in Moss. Moss may not have been the Titans saviour, but he didn't cause the team to implode either. In fact, his experience with the team would make him a welcome addition to a squad that needs to find some direction in a hurry.
