Maybe they are serious, then again maybe they are trying to do this a negotiation ploy with Braylon Edwards and Santonio Holmes, but the New York Jets are reportedly interested in former Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss.
In his prime Moss was the league's most dynamic wide receiver. A guy who could stretch the field for 50 to 60 yards with his uncanny ability to make one handed catches, blow past a corner back and basically walk into the endzone.
However last season Moss's skills completely crumbled. His relationship with the Patriots fell apart, forcing them to trade him to Minnesota. After that experiment failed he was then shipped to Tennessee, where he spent the rest of the year on the bench.
As most know Moss is a malcontent, and club house cancer, yet the Jets feel he can be a fit for them.
The Jets have two receivers who are free agents, Braylon Edwards and Santonio Holmes. If New York can't afford to pay both of them, it could open a door for Moss to join the team. The Jets are better off staying away from Moss.
They need to open up their purse strings and pay both Edwards and Holmes the money they require. The two of them, alone, were the main reason for the Jets success last season. Both players helped improve Mark Sanchez's skills, by making the tough catches, catching his bad passes, and making plays to put the Jets within the clutches of victory. Neither player should be allowed to go anywhere but New York.
Then again, with the NFL on total lockdown, no free agency can occur, and unless things change on the labor front, this conversation could be null and void.
