Randy Moss appears to be serious about his decision to retire from the NFL after 13 seasons.
Since the five-time All-Pro announced his retirement on Monday, at least two teams have called in an attempt to talk him out of it, a league source told NFL Network insider Michael Lombardi. Moss declined both overtures. According to Lombardi, the Philadelphia Eagles were not one of the teams.
If Moss remains retired, he has completed a career that might lead to induction in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. His 153 touchdowns are tied with Terrell Owens for second on the all-time career list, he's fifth in yards (14,858) and also tied with Hines Ward for eighth in receptions (954).
"In a lot of ways, he was the Michael Jordan of offenses in our league," Minnesota Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said on Monday. "He was a special player for a long, long time."
Moss, 34, is coming off an extremely tumultuous season in which he played with three teams (New England Patriots, Vikings and Tennessee Titans) and posted career lows in receptions (28) and receiving yards (393).
