One of the biggest-name players to go undrafted is off the market. The Redskins have signed former LSU tight end Thaddeus Moss, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (Twitter link).
Moss, of course, is the son of Hall of Famer Randy Moss. The younger Moss declared early for the draft back in January, and for a while it looked like he had a chance to be a middle-round pick. He apparently was dealing with an unfortunate medical situation, as Tom Pelissero of NFL Network tweets that a Jones fracture in his right foot was discovered at the combine.
That fracture required surgery, and since Moss wasn’t able to visit with teams due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, there were lingering questions about his health that caused him to fall out of the draft. Assuming everything is alright with his foot, this could prove to be a nice no-risk flyer for the Redskins.
Moss has some physical tools and showed plenty of flashes in his one year with LSU, catching 47 passes for 570 yards and four touchdowns. Washington hasn’t had anything consistent at the position since Jordan Reed was last healthy years ago, and their tight end depth chart is pretty thin. Jeremy Sprinkle, Logan Thomas, and Richard Rodgers aren’t the most inspiring options, so Moss should have the chance to compete for playing time right away if he makes the team.
Great move, surprised that the Saints didn’t get him.
Probably saw a better chance to see the field
I catch a beat runnin like Randy Moss
Damn! Was hoping the Vikes would take a chance! Good luck young buck! Washington is a dumpster fire!
Why are they a dumpster fire? Because they got rid of all the cancers and a selfish Trent Williams. Sacrifices were made in Trents favor and in the end it still wasn’t good enough. But in the end we have 3 Super Bowl trophies, the Vikings…well…. I think the number is “0”!! Oh, and by the way, you paid Cousins all that money and it will be a guarantee he will not win you a Super Bowl. And why did Diggs want out. Because Minnesota is a dumpster fire!!
great get
Washington will give him probably the best opportunity to play. Love the pickup. Great blocker.
New day in Washington, NFC East is theirs if they want it.
lol maybe 3rd if theyre lucky
You get new ownership and a Quarterback?
Tank for one more year and get trevor. Then the division is theirs
Would of taken him in the 2nd round if I was a GM. Going to be a Pro Bowler
I’m sure Dad is happy that he won’t have to give lessons on how to celebrate in the end zone.
