From Larry Brown Sports:

Randy Moss did not play in the NFL last season, but he announced last week he’s planning to make a comeback for the upcoming season. Warren Sapp, his former teammate in Oakland, says he wouldn’t sign the wide receiver.

“I’ve already played with [Randy] Moss, and what Cris Carter said — first time Cris ever said anything I agree with, I mean it’s the first time that he actually said something with some substance,” Sapp said on The Dan Patrick Show. “I just call Randy a frontrunner.”

Cris Carter is another former teammate of Moss. Carter called Randy a quitter during a recent interview. Sapp then explained the difference between being a quitter and a frontrunner.

“When everything is good, it’s wonderful, it’s great,” Sapp said. “But when a little adversity hits, it’s ‘No, no, no. Don’t ask me to help us come up out of this.’”

Both Sapp and Carter are correct. Not only did Randy quit on the Raiders, but he essentially forced the Patriots to trade him. After that, he “vomited” on the Vikings‘ locker room, and then hardly contributed with the Titans. Moss’ career numbers don’t lie — he is a frontrunner (or quitter, if you prefer).

Here is the audio of Sapp’s comments:

‘Ship has sailed’ on Moss reuniting with Pats

It was considered “doubtful” to transpire even seven months ago, and absolutely nothing has changed since — there won’t be a second tour of duty for Randy Moss in New England. The Boston Globe reports the “feeling” around the organization is that the “ship has sailed” on a possible Moss-Patriots reunion. Moss, who announced on Monday...

Report: Patriots aren’t interested in Randy Moss

According to Shalise Manza Young of the Boston Glode, the feeling in the New England area is that the Patriots aren’t interested in bringing free agent Randy Moss back for next season. Even though the Patriots need a vertical threat at the wide receiver position, they need to fill that void through the draft or by signing a free agent that isn’t past his prime.

Randy Moss to come back to the NFL

Over the last week, one of the biggest talks around the NFL is the return of receiver Randy Moss. Moss has spent a little time with a few teams including the Patriots, Vikings and most recently the Titans. This conversation is a lot like the Peyton Manning scenario going around. He will be playing this next season-but with whom? To be completely honest I highly hope that Tennessee...

New England Patriots, Stevie Johnson Not a Good Fit

The New England Patriots need help at wide receiver. Stevie Johnson may need a new team. While it sounds great on paper, this is not a good fit at all, especially for the Patriots. Then again, it isn’t the ideal fit for Johnson either. I wrote earlier if the Patriots would consider signing Randy Moss, Reggie Wayne or Brandon Lloyd. I mentioned those three names because I felt...

Sapp says he’d pass on Moss

Former Buccaneers and Raider defensive tackle Warren Sapp visited The Dan Patrick Show on Friday, and Sapp was candid (as he usually is) about one of his former Oakland teammates. “I’ve already played with [Randy] Moss, and what Cris Carter said — first time Cris ever said anything I agree with, I mean it’s the…
