Randy Moss and 2011 NFL Free Agency: 5 Best Fits for the Wide Receiver

If you take a quick glance at the free agent market for wide receivers, Randy Moss is one of the few names that sticks out.

Some may argue that he sticks out due to his deep threat ability or because he's just another typical head-ache causing diva. Either way, Moss is going to be suiting up for a new team in 2011—if there's a season. 

Moss became the first player in NFL history to play for three different teams in just one season last year as he was members of the New England Patriots, Minnesota Vikings and the Tennessee Titans.

All three teams became quickly fed up with his immature childish attitude and parted ways with him in their own respected way. 

Out of all of the 32 teams in the NFL, where does Moss have the best chance of signing a new contract with? Will any teams want to open their locker-room doors up to Moss' antics? We'll soon find out once the NFL lockout dissolves.

Here are the five best fits for wide receiver Randy Moss entering the 2011 season.

On paper, this might be the best bet for success for Randy Moss. 

The Kansas City Chiefs already have a star wide receiver in Dwayne Bowe, and he certainly could use some help.

Moss would be a decent addition to the team's supporting cast and he's already developed a quality relationship with quarterback Matt Cassel during their days back in New England in 2008. 

Also, not to mention, Kansas City's general manager, Scott Pioli, was one of the key members in New England's front office that helped bring him to Foxborough.

With the futures of diva wide receivers Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocino up in the air, Randy Moss could be a potential replacement as one of the team's starting wide receivers.

If the Cincinnati Bengals decide to cut ties with both T.O. and Ochocinco, the Bengals then would have Jordan Shipley lining up as the team's number one wide receiver with Moss playing opposite of him. 

The Bengals are certainly not afraid to bring in big egos into their locker-room and by adding Moss might change the mind of quarterback Carson Palmer, as he's recently stated he wants out of Cinci.

Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins may already have an elite wide receiver in Brandon Marshall, but they have major holes offensively: the 'Fins have huge question marks at quarterback and running back.

Moss would be a quality complimentary player to Marshall, and could potentially help the development of quarterback Chad Henne or whomever quarterback that Miami decides to go with. 

Also, with Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams both set to become free agents, Miami could definitely turn to make their passing game their strength by adding Moss. 

Seattle Seahawks

As head coach Pete Carroll looks to enter his second year in Seattle, he'll look to get his offense system in place.

Seattle already has a decent running attack with Marshawn Lynch and Justin Forsett and all Carroll needs to do is address the quarterback and wide receiver position.

The Seahawks have Mike Williams and Ben Obomanu as their starting two wide receiver, and Moss could definitely be an upgrade if Seattle decides to go his way. 

St. Louis Rams

If the very difficult rebuilding process of a football team, the hardest part is to find a quarterback—and the St. Louis Rams already have done that with Sam Bradford.

Now, all they need is to equip Bradford with some legitimate weapons. 

The Rams currently sit with the 14th overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft and are probably hoping that Alabama wide receiver Julio Jones slips them—if he doesn't, they need to go else where to find a number one receiver. 

With the backwards NFL offseason (draft first and free agency second), the Rams could definitely be interested in adding Randy Moss to St. Louis' very weak arsenal of wide receivers.

'Skins owner Daniel Snyder loves to hand out huge contracts to big-name players that are "has-beens."

I wouldn't be too overly suprised if Washington shows interest in Randy Moss. 

However, head coach and general manager Mike Shanahan may have a heart-attack of Snyder calls him up announcing that he's just signed Randy Moss to a multi-million dollar contract. 

Conclusion: It's a Small Market for Randy Moss

In my opinion, Randy Moss' career is all but over—he really screwed it up last season by running his mouth and pulling his childish antics. 

At the age 34, Moss is certainly starting to slow down and is becoming a "has-been."

I'm not sure Moss brings anything to the table at this point of his career.

He isn't a "clutch" playoff performing, he's not a true number one receiver, and the lone thing he's been good at over the past few years (the deep ball) he's almost ineffective now. 

If you'd ask me where Moss' best fit is for the 2011 season? The Canadian Football League—that's where.
