It was exactly three weeks ago Monday that Randy Moss took to UStream to tell his fans that “I wanna play football.” Of course, Moss also spoke authoritatively about professional wrestling and pulled out a brown paper bag filled with his hair. It wasn’t clear if he was serious. Then he added, “Your boy is going to come back here and play some football, so I’m really excited. I had some things I had to adjust in my life.”

The media ran with it, Moss made several more UStream appearances, and now, according to Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer, Moss has his first scheduled workout with an NFL team on Tuesday.

Randy Moss working out for Saints tomorrow. Former Packers QB Brian Brohm also coming in to throw to him

The Saints have had a forgettable few days, starting with stalled contract negotiations with franchise quarterback Drew Brees (that led to the franchise tag and a reportedly “livid” Brees) and ending with charges that former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams was behind a bounty scheme that rewarded players for injuring opponents

Now that the Saints have franchised instead of re-signed Brees, that means they can’t use the tag on guard Carl Nicks or wide receiver Marques Colston — two of the offense’s best players. And if Colston leaves via free agency New Orleans will be looking for his replacement. We’re not sure Moss is that guy (he’s not interested in playing in the middle of the field and he’s admitted as much) but the Saints still think he’s worth taking a look at. 

Moss’ career seemed to stall back in 2005 when the Vikings traded him to the Raiders. After a pedestrian 2006 season, the Patriots acquired him for a fourth-rounder in 2007 and he went on to have one of the most productive years in NFL history. Put differently: in the right system, with the right support system, and an elite future Hall of Famer at quarterback, Moss can be special.
