NFL Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss told fans worried about his health that he's a "cancer survivor" in an Instagram livestream Friday afternoon.
Is Randy Moss returning to the NFL next season? The ever mercurial Moss is still undecided about his status, according to people close to him.
Randy Moss still isn't exactly sure what he will do in the immediate future, and neither are his former 49ers teammates. One thing is certain, Moss' days with the 49ers seem to be over.
Hall of Famer Jerry Rice has no interest in a back-and-forth debate with Randy Moss during Super Bowl week about who's the greatest NFL wide receiver of all time.
It's hard to steal all the attention during the week leading up to the Super Bowl, but Randy Moss had accomplished this feat with one statement. While it may be considered blasphemy to talk about being the greatest wide receiver in the history of the NFL, while wearing a San Francisco 49er jersey, Moss is not only entitled to his opinion, but based on his career and stats, he is not far from the truth.
Randy Moss was refreshingly candid during his Media Day session on Tuesday. Confident, too: The 49erswideout said that he believes he's the greatest wideout in NFL history.
There's still no word on whether injured 49er defensive lineman Justin Smith will play Sunday against the Cardinals, or even be ready for the playoffs.
With so many injuries to key receivers, the 49ers will rely more than ever on Randy Moss and first-round pick A.J. Jenkins to support top threat Michael Crabtree, starting Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.
Randy Moss arrived at the New England Patriots five years ago thinking he knew a lot about football.
On an almost perfect Monday night for Alex Smith, the San Francisco 49ers flexed their NFC West dominance with a 24-3 flattening of the Arizona Cardinals.
San Francisco responded after last weeks last with a 34-0 win over the New York Jets. The team did not play great, but dominated the Jets the whole day and showed that they are the team with a back up quarterback who can make a difference.
After failing to do anything offensively last week, there will be pressure on the offense to put some points on the board, and that will have to come by air. Smith and his receivers will need to get up to speed if they want to avoid another loss by only scoring 13 points like last week.
The San Francisco Defense was the story on Sunday keeping the Green Bay Packers off the scoreboard for most of the game and stepped up late to hold off the Packers rally. Alex Smith was almost as impressive committing zero turnovers and answering each time the Packers threatened to come back and steal the game. The entire team earned a grade of an A and are perhaps the most complete team in the league.
The San Francisco 49ers were set to play their first preseason game of the year when they host the Minnesota Vikings at Candlestick Park Friday.
In the past, fans have seen Moss flourish when he was in a situation that he liked, and the added contract incentives should push him even more. He also won't be going against many elite passing defenses, so there aren't a lot of chances to bottle him up in 2012.
No receiver in the history of the NFL—Rice included—has displayed the combination of size, speed, sure-handedness, intelligence and big play-making abilities like Moss.
If Moss has anything left at the age of 35, he will be a welcome addition. He still has excellent speed and can stretch the field. His mere presence will open up the short-to-medium range routes for Michael Crabtree, Mario Manningham and tight end Vernon Davis.
Madden said it remains to be seen whether Moss' speed can still threaten a defense.
Randy Moss is back after reaching a one-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers, announced by the team late Monday.
