Randy Moss. The name rings different memories for people, for me its 2007 when i watched the Patriots go undefeated to lose the Super Bowl, he set a record catching 23 touchdown passes out of Tom Brady's record setting 50 that where thrown that same year. Some is his signature gloves in the helmet, his many spectacular catches, his true 4.2 speed that no one could catch, and then there are some who sadly remember his years in Tennessee or Oakland. Well unless you have been paying no attention to NFL free agency Randy Moss is coming back just for one year for only one thing in mind, and no it's not a lot of money he is not T.O., he is coming for a run for a Super Bowl ring.
Randy Moss is coming back for one year just for a ring so he has the luxury of picking a team that he thinks have the best chance to make a run at a Super Bowl berth. Some teams have shot themselves in the foot by coming out and saying they are not interested in the most talented wide receiver in the history of the NFL. Thats right i said the MOST. He is like LeBron James when comparing to Michael Jordan, they are the two best and most talented players in the history of the NBA but the only thing that all the LeBorn haters bring to the argument is LeBron has no rings end of story, i think thats always been a invalid point because a team wins rings and one man can only carry a team so hard. Randy Moss is in the same discussion when arguing against Jerry Rice on who is the best of all time, Jerry Rice did not win all those rings i'm pretty sure the rest of the 49er dynasty led by a guy who's name happened to be Joe Montana won those rings together. Point being is Randy Moss is the only receiver to run a legit 4.2 in the combine and maintain that for a career. Now Randy is going to go to a team that not only has a chance to have a Super Bowl but a team that needs a legit number 1 or number 2 receiver. Randy Moss commands double teams every play something experts have coined the term the 'Randy Moss effect', just his presence on the field opens up another receiver or the running game on every play.
Now last time i checked the Texans are going to get a legit number two receiver whether they acquire that through the draft or in free agency, now before you count out Randy Moss as a Texan he will come cheap, he just wants a ring. Randy Moss just turned 35 and wants to retire with a bang ending with a ring, his agent has came out and said that Randy wants no money up front until he make the team. So lets start there whats wrong with that Texan fans? whats wrong with inviting the guy to training camp and if he doesn't have what it takes (he will blow out all the rookie WRs and everyone but Andre out of the water) then he doesn't get paid! It's a win/win for Houston, now after he make the team here is the best part his agent said 'Randy wants no money up front but a base salary of around 3-5 million all incentive based'. That means he would like to sign for around 3-5 million but take no money up front, he gets paid based on the amount of games, the amount of snaps and the amount of catches he makes. He just wants to play. Now some people look at 3-5 million as a lot for one year...are you kidding me? for Randy Moss? Do you Texan fans know how much Jacoby Jones is going to get next year unless he is cut and replaced by i don't know say Randy Moss? If you don't know well Jacoby is going to get 4.79 million for the 2012-2013 season, would you be willing to let him go and give that money incentively based to Randy? While Andre was or majority of the season was not playing here are Jacoby's numbers: played 16 games, started 10, caught a cute 31 passes for 512 yards and 2 touchdowns. Pretty disappointing.
Now if you can try to comprehend on if the Texans, who are looked at nationally to make a Super Bowl run and also are in big need for a number 2 WR bring in Randy Moss? Andre Johnson and Randy Moss lined up on each end one of them is going to have double coverage you cant double them both. You have two guys that command double teams and catch everything that touches their hands and both of them commanding double teams every single play will open up the run game for Arian like a run game has never been opened up before. You can pay Jacoby or you can turn that contract over to Randy Moss who currently has 954 receptions, 14,858 yards, 153 touchdowns and a 7 time Pro Bowler. The Texans do have the money to get him, but they have to let go of Jacoby, you tell me if thats worth a trade.
Take a look at him to remind you what he's capable of then let me hear your take.
