Moss seems like a guy who can remain quietly effective (at a sub-800 yard level) right into his mid thirties. I just don't think it makes a lick of sense to bring him back here.

Like I said many times this, if we can't develop three other guys who are as effective or are more effective than Santana Moss, we're going to be in trouble anyway. If it gets worse without him for a year, I think that's a small price to pay. But others see this a lot differently than I do.

He's one of the better FAs available though, perhaps top after Malcom Floyd (ignoring the players with five or fewer years of service time).

I would just ask the people who see Moss as our slot receiver of the future to consider just how much would have to go wrong for us to not be able to replace Moss' production out of the slot. Kelly would have to get hurt again, and even then, Niles Paul or Aldrick Robinson profiles really well in that role. Armstrong could even move into the slot in third down situations. Brandon Banks is probably a downgrade in the slot over anyone, but again, at the point where Banks is seeing significant snaps out of the slot, so much has already gone wrong that having Moss would hardly have made a difference.

Replacing the slot receiver in pro football is even easier than replacing the kicker. Everyone on your roster at the WR or TE position (and even some RBs) can play the slot.
