On Sunday, Randy Moss was very nostalgic when asked about his New England teammates.

On Monday, he’s been given the green light to try and reunite with them.

After some bizarre – and at the same time routine – behavior and comments from Moss, he was released by the Minnesota Vikings earlier today.

Here’s what Moss said about his former team members after Sunday’s defeat at their hands:

“I don’t know how many more times I’m going to be up here in New England. But I’m going to leave the New England Patriots, Coach Belichick, man, with a salute, man. I love you guys, I miss you, I’m out.”

Moss also criticized the Vikings concerning some play-calling in the later stages of the first half.  With the game knotted and 7 and a little over one minute to go before halftime, Minnesota faced a 4th down and goal at the New England 1 yard line. Instead of putting three points on the board, Vikings coach Brad Childress elected to try for a touchdown.  Of course, Adrian Peterson was stuffed on a play that could easily be referred to as momentum-changing.  The Patriots went on the score two touchdowns in the third quarter in route to a 28-18 decision on Sunday afternoon. 

San Diego's Philip Rivers is already leading the NFL in passing yards - without the threat of a talented receiver like Moss.

While Moss’ inclination to put points on the board early in the game may have been on point, his attitude has not.  Randy seems to be up to his old tricks – not running hard or finishing out routes, and he appears not to be motivated to use the tools that propelled him to be great in his first stint with Minnesota and during his tenure with New England (up until this season).

Who’ll take a stab at signing Moss?

With parity at an all-time high in the NFL – particularly in the NFC – the race for playoff spots is wide open.  That means that Moss could be targeted by a myriad of teams looking to get an edge as the season progresses.  But as always, the price is steep with Moss – and his suitors will risk the possibility of a player with game-changing potential becoming complacent or even disgruntled if he fails to get touches or the team is unsuccessful.

So much for the highly-hyped duo of Brett Favre and Randy Moss that lasted all of four games – with lackluster highlights and numbers generated.
