Is Randy Moss coming out of retirement? No, but he and the Charlotte Independence tried to pull one over with an April Fools joke … on March 31?
The NFL legend appeared to signed a contract with the Charlotte Independence of the second division USL.
Best of all, Moss is rocking the No. 84, which he made famous as a star wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings nearly 20 years ago. It’s not exactly a typical soccer number, but he’s Randy Moss. It’s what he should be wearing.
Playing in Charlotte made sense, too. His son, Thad, is going to be a freshman on the NC State football team in the fall.
And does he have any soccer skills? You be the judge.
Randy Moss … soccer player? At 40 years old? Chad Ochocino got a trial with Sporting Kansas City a few years back so what would another former NFL receiver giving soccer a try be? But when the first letter of every sentence in the press release spells out “APRIL FOOLS,” it’s not to be.
