Mired in the midst of one of the worst scandals to rock an individual franchise since Spygate, it would be easy for the Saints to keep their heads down and do their best to avoid making any waves going forward.
Instead they’ve chosen an opposite tack, reportedly inviting former Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss in for a visit tomorrow to workout with the club.
More often than not, such moves don’t typically generate a ton of headlines, as they’re often more about teams doing their due diligence than anything else, but in any case, just having Moss in to visit will deflect a bit of the spotlight on their team away from Bountygate and back onto their off-season plans to upgrade the team.
Either way, the possibility of Moss lining up to catch passes from quarterback Drew Brees has many in the media salivating, and while the Saints are just as likely to take a pass on adding him to the fold for next season, Moss could be a useful weapon in an offense like New Orleans’ given his ability to make explosive plays deep down field.
