Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Randy Moss is apparently planning a
comeback.
Moss decided to retire last August after 13 NFL seasons and told an audience
on UStream.tv Monday about trying to return for 2012. He just turned 35 years
old on Monday.
Before calling it quits, Moss caught 954 passes for 14,858 yards with 153
touchdowns. Only Jerry Rice has more TD catches with 197.
Moss had a troubled 2010 season. It began with the New England Patriots, but
bitterness over his contract situation -- he was in the final year of his deal
-- led to an October 6 trade to the Minnesota Vikings, the team for which he
started his career. Less than a month later, Moss was claimed off waivers by
the Tennessee Titans.
In 16 combined games -- four each with New England and Minnesota and eight
with Tennessee -- he managed just 28 catches for 393 yards with five
touchdowns.
Moss spent the first seven years of his career with the Vikings, who selected
the Marshall product with the 21st overall pick in the 1998 draft. He made an
immediate impact on the league, catching 17 touchdown passes in his first
season.
Following his first stint with the Vikings, Moss played two years with the
Oakland Raiders before joining the Patriots, who acquired the wide receiver
for a fourth-round pick in the 2007 draft.
In his first season with New England, Moss set an NFL record with 23 touchdown
receptions.
