While it wouldn't be Brett Favre, it would certainly be close. New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said that he would welcome a return of Randy Moss, who retired earlier this off-season.
According to an ESPN report, Brady said that he spoke with Moss about returning to the Patriots prior to the start of training camp, after a report surfaced that the wide receiver would be interested in coming out of retirement to play with the Patriots again.
"Would it surprise me? You never know in the NFL," Brady said during his weekly call-in with Boston sports radio WEEI on Tuesday. "I talked to Randy just before the start of training camp. I love Randy. He's one of the greatest wide receivers in the history of the game, one of the greater players I've ever had the chance to play with."
"I've seen so many guys move on, then guys come back. Who knows? You never know what situation we'll be in here next week, for that matter."
Moss last played for the Patriots last season, playing in the four games before being traded to the Minnesota Vikings. The six-time Pro Bowler had arguably his best season in 2007 - his first with the Patriots - when he had 98 receptions for 1,493 yards and an NFL record 23 receiving touchdowns.
The 34-year-old receiver played for 13 years with the Vikings, Oakland Raiders, Patriots, and Tennessee Titans. He has 954 receptions for 14,858 receiving yards and 153 touchdowns.
