Report: Randy Moss Visits New Orleans Saints

Update: ProFootballTalk.com is reporting the Randy Moss sighting in New Orleans is "apparently erroneous." According to the PFT report, Moss' agent, Joel Segal, was never informed of a visit, which the website says is a likely violation of the new CBA, especially if the two sides discussed a contract. Stay tuned.

Randy Moss is retired, but maybe not for long. According to WWL-TV, Moss visited the New Orleans Saints facility on Saturday. The CBS affiliate in New Orleans called Moss a "player of interest" for the Saints.

Moss, 34, retired this offseason after a tumultuous 2010 season where he was traded twice, eventually landing on the Tennessee Titans (where he was irrelevant).

Moss to the Saints makes sense considering New Orleans lost wide receiver Marques Colston to a broken collar bone in Thursday's opening night loss to the Green bay Packers. Colston is expected to be sidelined for 4-6 weeks.

If the Saints do sign Moss now, they wouldn't be on the hook for a full season's contract. Any player signed after week one can have their contract terminated at any point, their contract is not guaranteed.

During his 13 NFL seasons, Moss has 954 catches for 14,858 and 153 touchdowns.

Randy Moss Open to Returning to Minnesota Vikings

Last season Randy Moss said he was done answering questions from the media. Today, he lifted that self-imposed ban when he called into KFAN.

Moss was a guest on the program because his former teammate Erin Henderson was the host (Henderson was filling in for Vikings play-by-play announcer Paul Allen from 9 a.m. to noon).

During the interview, Moss said he'd like to keep playing in the NFL and said he’d love to return to the Vikings if "things looked right." As for his abrupt departure from the Vikings this past season, Moss said this:

“It was definitely heartbreaking (to leave the Vikings), but some things got in the way.”

Moss admits going "into depression a little bit" when he ended up with the Tennessee Titans. He also praised one of his other former 2010 teams, the New England Patriots.

“If you ask me where my heart and where I’m happy is, I love Tom Brady and I love playing for coach Belichick,” Moss said. “I’m a big fan of Bill Belichick. Not just on the field but off the field. The little grouchy man you see on camera is not the man you see off camera.”

He also told Henderson that he would like to coach high school football when his NFL career is over.

Moss is a free agent this offseason.
