GM says Vikings not interested in Moss

The Minnesota Vikings need wide receivers. Just not Randy Moss.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings need wide receivers.

Just not Randy Moss.

Given the trouble he caused during his second stint with the team, a memorable month in the 2010 season, the disinterest in bringing back one of the most popular players among Vikings fans in franchise history comes as no surprise.

But general manager Rick Spielman confirmed Thursday the Vikings “will be moving on” without Moss. The 35-year-old Moss didn’t play last season, but he announced this week he plans to return to the NFL, assuming a team will have him.

“Randy was a great player,” Spielman said, “but again our focus is more on trying to get a young team.”
