During his 14-year NFL career, Randy Moss has drummed up a ton of accolades and as much controversy. While jumping around to six different teams he won both an NFC and AFC Championship, seven Pro-Bowl selections and set a slew of league records. One thing he hadn’t won is a Super Bowl championship. Though he retired in 2011, he came back six months later and signed a one-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers in 2012 to give it one more shot. They made it to the Super Bowl but lost to the Baltimore Ravens. Moss called it quits yet again and joined Fox Sports 1 as an NFL analyst. He confirmed reports that the Super Bowl champion, Seattle Seahawks reached out to him to replace wide receiver Percy Harvin who was traded to the New York Jets a couple weeks ago. Though Moss says he’s in tip top shape, he will only come back to play with these two legendary quarterbacks.

“I’m gonna tell you this, for me to come out of retirement for a player such as Peyton Manning, I would consider that,” Moss said. “I really would consider it. I’m still in great shape, I can still run. I’m not the most old, but just by looking at the things I see on Sundays, I can still go out there and catch some passes and catch some touchdowns.”
“The one thing that people don’t understand, guys, is one day I will hopefully get to tell my story of why I retired from the game of football,” Moss said. “It had nothing to do with the money, it had nothing to do with my physical ability. There were some things going on in my family life, going on with my children that I had to walk away from the game and be there for them as their father and as their protector.
“So for me to be able to say that I still miss the game, I still love the game — I’m loving what I’m doing here at Fox, don’t get it wrong — but for me to be able to come back to the game for a guy like Tom Brady or Peyton Manning, guys, I might consider something like that.
