Moss' workout with Saints a possible positive for Bears

Share

Randy Moss went through what Mike Florio over at ProFootballTalk.com and others report was a stellar workout Tuesday for the New Orleans Saints. This news should be a spot of good news for the Bears.

Not that the Bears are expected to be players in the impending return from retirement of one of the NFLs truly elite receivers over the past decade. Moss was available to the Bears in 1998 (the Bears drafted Curtis Enis, leaving Moss for the Vikings) and could have been had when he bounced among three teams in 2010 after a brief stretch with the New England Patriots.

The Bears didnt move then and the first major moves under GM Phil Emeryand Chairman George McCaskeyare not expected to include a flirtation with another former No. 1 pick after the Roy Williams disappointment of last season.

But the Saints interest in Moss points to New Orleans fully anticipating losing one of a receiver corps topped by Marques Colston and Robert Meacham, both unrestricted free agents. It also suggests that the Saints could well remove themselves from serious bidding to even retain one of those.

In a supply-and-demand business like NFL talent procurement, value is set by market forces as much as or more than simply on-field performance.
