Future Hall of Fame receiver Randy Moss has decided to retire rather than continue playing.
"After weighing his options and contemplating offers, he's decided to retire," Moss' agent, Joel Segal said Monday.
Moss, 34, played 13 seasons, caught 954 passes for 14,858 yards and 153 touchdowns.

oh shit...wasnt he just talking about how he went all in for his off-season workouts....
He'll be back. Too much left in the tank to retire.
He wasn't as hot a commodity as he thought he was. Ego told him to hang it up.
saw a clip where culpepper threw a perfect pass to him , he pulled his hands down and let the ball go , he gets no respect from me
shit reminds me of Allen Iverson....ego man...ego....
Shit, he can go down as one of the top 3 receivers of all time, though. I think dude earned his ego. I'd rather see him do this than go down like Emmitt with the Cardinals or Montana with the Chiefs.
Na....A.I. wasn't compliant anywhere. Moss was a good on the Vikings and Pats. He really only fell off with the Raiders, but who doesn't.Allen iverson of the NFL
Top 3 receiver of all time, but GOAT underachiever.

i think he had atleast 2 more good years left in him but maybe those years wasn't up to his standards so he didn't want have 2 more years like he had in oakland so i respect him for retiring when he did more athletes(talkin to you roy jones jr) should take his route
Dude obviously didnt want to sign to a losing team like T.O. has been doing and I doubt he is in T.O. type of shape
He obviously went about it the wrong way but i dont blame him for wanting an extension considering what he did for the team. Those midget wideouts didnt work out so well for them in the postseason either.yeah... you dont want him to play beyond his years...but dude is a superior athlete..including last season, this dude probably had 3 years of being a really good receiver in the right system..
not just ego...maybe i should have clarified... a destructive ego....he essentially ran himself out of new england unnecessarily
