The fate of receiver Randy Moss in Nashville, Tennessee is like the same bad country song played over and over again.
Moss’ magical mystery tour started in New England, but he shot his way out of town from his team of three-plus years. Moss didn’t feel he was a big enough piece of the offense and it was affecting his impending free agent status.
The next stop was Minnesota and the Vikings went 1-3 with Moss before Brad Childress finally got sick of his act and released him. Childress was later fired himself and the whole Moss affair was a big reason.
More indignity has followed Moss to Tennessee and the team is 0-3 since picking him up. The only good news is he was free, unlike the third round pick Minnesota paid.
The situation in Tennessee is getting bad, losing 20-0 at Houston yesterday to fall to 5-6. Quarterback Vince Young is out for the season. Backup Kerry Collins (calf) could be the starter this week if he’s healthy enough and he’s a lot better than Sunday’s starter, rookie Rusty Smith.
Smith had three picks and just 138 passing yards yesterday. Moss had 23 yards receiving and hasn’t had more than 30 in his last five games. This is not what he was expecting after leaving one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time in Tom Brady.
Moss’ numbers for the year are 23 catches for 339 yards. That’s going to cost him a lot of money in the offseason and will likely limit him to a one-year deal.
