Randy Moss arrived at New England from the then Oakland Raiders back in 2007. He was traded for a fourth-round draft pick. Bill Belichick’s Patriots and the Green Bay Packers were the only two teams interested in hiring Moss. Belichick convinced the WR to join him at New England but no one could predict what came after.

Playing under coach Belichick, Randy Moss and Tom Brady formed a deadly partnership over the next three years. In his very first season with the Patriots, Moss bagged the NFL Comeback Player of the Year award in 2007. The former Minnesota Vikings man recorded 98 catches for 1,493 yards in 2007. That is the highest yardage total in the Patriots franchise history and third-highest overall.

However, by 2009, Moss was not happy with his role in the Patriots organization. The emergence of Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez put his spot in jeopardy. He was also in his contract year and was pushing for a better deal. However, Robert Kraft and Co. were hesitant to fulfill his demands due to his age. He ultimately left for the Minnesota Vikings followed by the Tennessee Titans and the rest is history.
