As Jay Glazer of Fox Sports first reported, the Saints are bringing Randy Moss in for a workout today. That’s the first step for any club when looking at the WR. Bring the veteran in and get him on the field.

ICONThe Saints are bringing Moss in for a workout today in New Orleans.

And before he even starts to runs routes, you have to see if he can still run. Moss' game was always built on vertical speed and the ability to consistently separate down the field. It didn’t matter if he was lined up vs. a CB in press-man or working the deep half of the field vs. a Cover 2 safety. With Moss, he could beat any coverage you threw at him if he won at the line of scrimmage.

However, Moss has to show the Saints today (and any other team) he still has top end speed that is feared by NFL secondaries. Without it? I don’t see the value here.

I understand the desire in New Orleans to bring in the veteran WR for a look with the possibility that Marques Colston won’t be back with the Saints come the start of the 2012 season. There could be a need at the position depending on what shakes out in free agency.

And that leads us to the next step for Moss. Glazer stated "the Saints are believed to be one of a few teams that are interested in bringing Moss in for a workout in the coming weeks.” That makes sense as Moss will most likely have to go on a “workout tour.” A process plenty of free agents go through when they are looking for a job.

Bounce around the league and workout for multiple clubs—until you get one to bite. It can be a grind, but it can also be very rewarding if you show just one team you are ready to play some football for them.

I have no idea how Moss will look today in New Orleans after some time away from the game. We will have to wait for the reports to come out on that. But if he does display that speed I talked about above, this could get interesting moving forward. Let's see what happens next.

So Randy's out there right now like a politician stumping for votes. Do we want to take a look at him?

**bearsinhouston** · 03-06-2012, 11:15 PM

Sounds like he did well. If he's cheap enough, I'd sure look at him

I think the thumbs up or down come straight from Tice on this one. He's had first hand experience with him so if Moss still can do some damage on the field and not in the locker room I'd just put it to him. Would you want him in your offense or not?

this is my overall belief as well. Im in total agreement with giving Tice the go ahead to bring him in at will. I think Moss is going to explode this year (stat wise) im not sure why but i have a feeling

also under Tice he had his biggest years aside from the 2007 season

No thanks. If we're going after an older receiver I'd prefer Wayne. He's still in football shape, good teammate as far as I've ever heard and has still been quite productive. He'd likely cost more, but I think he'd be worth it.

man i so want to agree with you but when Moss is motivated the guy can flat out PLAYYYYYYYY and hes hungry

Moss said its not about the money and will work on incentives which is a plus to at least think of him

This is my take on it if we get that number one guy in fa like vj I do it. But if we get secondary options like meach royal etc and draft a guy then I say no. I don't want moss rubbing off on a draft pick. But with vj being 29 he won't be influenced by moss. Could u imagine moss around a young guy with character issues like Floyd......

**Papa Bear** · 03-07-2012, 09:23 AM

OK. Maybe I'd contemplate it if he agreed to a vet minimum, incentive laden deal AND he promised to "moon" the Packer fans again.

Eeeek, a two headed WR monster! I'm OK with Moss but chances are if we do draft Floyd we won't sign Moss anyway. Despite the usual unreadiness of rookie WR you still don't spend a 1st on one and not play him.
