Randy Moss is working as a Fox Sports NFL analyst after retiring from the NFL but the future Hall of Fame receiver would come out of retirement to suit up for the Denver Broncos and catch passes from Peyton Manning
If the Denver Broncos find themselves in need of a wide receiver, they should give a call to current Fox Sports NFL analyst and future Hall of Famer Randy Moss who would come out of retirement for a second time for the chance to play with Peyton Manning.

“I’m gonna tell you this, for me to come out of retirement for a player such as Peyton Manning, I would consider that,” Moss said on the Peter Schrager podcast. “I really would consider it. I’m still in great shape, I can still run. I’m not the most old, but just by looking at the things I see on Sundays, I can still go out there and catch some passes and catch some touchdowns.”
Moss previously retired after the 2010 season when he played for three teams to only come back in 2012 and play for the San Francisco 49ers in a reserve role, catching 28 passes for 434 yards and three touchdowns.
He appeared on ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption on Tuesday and said he retired for family reasons and needed to be around for his children and didn’t step away for diminishing physical abilities.
“For me to be able to say that I still miss the game, I still love the game — I’m loving what I’m doing here at Fox, don’t get it wrong — but for me to be able to come back to the game for a guy like Tom Brady or Peyton Manning, guys, I might consider something like that,” Moss said. “But believe me, I’m loving and enjoying what I’m doing what now. It was just a question and I answered it the best way I knew how.”
With the Broncos having Demaryius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders, Wes Welker as well as Julius Thomas at tight end, Manning and the Broncos don’t have a need for a 37-year-old receiver who has been out of football since the end of the 2012 season, but should one of the three receivers suffer a season-ending injury, could the Broncos put a call into one of the greatest receivers of all-time and pair him with one of the best quarterbacks of all-time?
Not likely.
Although it would have been nice to see Manning and Moss on the same team during the primes of their career to see the types of numbers the two all-time greats could have produced together.
