Wide receiver Randy Moss will retire from the NFL after 13 seasons, ESPN reported Monday.
"After weighing his options and contemplating offers, he's decided to retire," said Joel Segal, Moss' agent. The report was confirmed by the NFL Network.
The 34-year-old became a free agent after playing for the New England Patriots, Minnesota Vikings and Tennessee Titans last season. He was traded twice during last season, but only caught six passes for 80 yards in the final eight games of the season with Tennessee.
Moss will leave the NFL as a lock for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, having recorded 954 career receptions for 14,858 yards and 153 touchdowns.
The native of Rand, West Virginia, was drafted 21st overall in 1998 by the Minnesota Vikings out of Marshall University. He was named Offensive Rookie of the Year in 1998, and went on to make seven Pro Bowls.
