Who should sign Randy Moss?

by Bill Young

In the AFC South, teams like the Texans and Jaguars should stay away from Moss because their current capabilities are well below the level of a playoff contender. As we have seen, Moss will constantly give up on plays if his team doesn't perform to championship contending level.
That said, the Colts should pass on him too. Manning did not need Moss against the Texans and will not need better wide receivers against other teams. The Colts need a better running game and Moss definitely can't solve that problem.
Ultimately, the Titans should sign Moss because their best receiver, Kenny Britt, is out indefinitely. In addition, Titans coach Jeff Fisher has command of the locker room in Tennessee the way Belichick has command of the locker room in New England. Randy Moss would have to buy in to the team goals or sit on the bench. A Brad Childress debacle wouldn't happen here.
In the NFC East, all teams should stay away. In the case of the Giants, they need to focus on running the ball and controlling the game. It has been proven in the past that this strategy leads to more wins for the Giants.
The Cowboys should keep what they have and let rookie Dez Bryant develop into a star. Adding Moss would only prevent Bryant from experiences the myriad of coverages teams are sure to throw at him in the coming weeks and greatly stunt his development.
The Eagles, on the other hand, have a glut of wide receivers who run the deep route well. Randy Moss would only be a good acquisition in this case if he were willing to run over the middle and make the clutch catches on third down. Somehow, that doesn't seem possible any time soon.
The Redskins should stay away from Moss because he cannot solve their offensive line woes. How well McNabb/Grossman/Jamarcus Russell can scramble is irrelevant because there is too much pressure for a deep ball to be thrown to Moss. Eventually, despite the Redskins current record (4-4), Moss would tank the rest of the season and screw up the chemistry present. On top of all these factors, Shanahan has done an excellent job dealing with Haynesworth, McNabb and any other big name Redskin player. It seems that Shanahan is going out of his way to alienate his star players. I'm sure Randy Moss who thrives on being the best player on the team would love to play for a coach who doesn't care about how good a player is. After all, if a lineman for the Redskins (Dockery) is benched because he isn't trying hard enough in practice, then Moss would be benched every game. Despite the overwhelming evidence here supporting not signing Moss, this hasn't stopped the Redskins before.
