2012 NFL Free Agents: Randy Moss Willing to Play for Nothing, Has Workouts?

The headline is one thing, but I think the key to these reports to highlight is the fact that Randy Moss is actually willing to play for the love of the game of football. 

"

“This is not about money for him, he wants to play,” a source said. “He’ll want to be paid if he makes the team, but nothing up front. He’s not trying to grab a check.”

"

Ahh, okay, he's not crazy and he wants his money, after he earns it though. That's a new one. One unnamed NFC executive reportedly had this to say about the possibility of signing Moss. 

"

“The question with him is all about motivation,” the team executive said. “I’m not all that interested because I like our wide receivers. But if the guy is willing to come in with no guarantees, just a make-good contract, I think that would make some teams more comfortable, no question.”

"

And now we get word that an unnamed team has Moss scheduled for a workout this upcoming week. Apparently someone is still interested in the prospect of the future Hall of Famer moving in the realm of 4.3 in the 40-yard dash.

Some establishments have connected Moss to the New York Jets, who have publicly expressed interest in a reunion with Braylon Edwards after a largely ineffective year out of Plaxico Burress. Yet there will always exist the whispers of Moss-to-New England rumors because those record-setting images cannot exit our self-mutilating, sports-loving minds. 

The Moss ship has sailed in Boston Harbor and Moss' un-Patriotic behavior will force him to become an enemy of the state if he ever wants to don an NFL uniform again.
