The Seattle Seahawks knew they were going to trade embattled receiver Percy Harvin in the weeks leading up to the deal that shipped him to the New York Jets for minor draft picks. However, Seattle didn't have many options to turn to in free agency once Harvin was gone.

The Seahawks even contacted retired NFL receiver Randy Moss about joining the team after Harvin was dealt. The Seahawks reportedly looked into adding the 37-year-old future Hall of Famer, who last played in 2012, and why not? Seattle is coming off a Super Bowl-winning season, and Moss was never able to get his hands on a ring. He certainly would get a nice final shot at it with the Seahawks, who could use a big receiver like him.

Despite this, Moss declined Seattle's offer, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Denver Post.

But even at 37, he says he’s still in top shape and confirmed an earlier report by Jay Glazer that the Seahawks had reached out to him about replacing receiver Percy Harvin, who has since been shipped to the Jets.

Moss declined the offer, but while on Fox Sports’ "The Peter Schrager Podcast" last week, he didn’t rule out an NFL return — so long as it was with a certain quarterback.

Moss has already retired and un-retired once after calling it quits in 2010, following a tumultuous season that saw him open the year in New England before getting traded to Minnesota, cut a few weeks later, and signed by Tennessee. After not playing in 2011, Moss signed with the San Francisco 49ers in 2012, but he only caught 28 passes for 434 yards and three scores.

Even at his age, Moss may be able to crack the top four or five in the Seahawks' wide receiver rotation. Though Seattle didn't appeal to him, Moss did admit that playing for the Denver Broncos and All-Pro quarterback Peyton Manning would be tempting.

"So for me to be able to say that I still miss the game, I still love the game — I’m loving what I’m doing here at Fox, don’t get it wrong — but for me to be able to come back to the game for a guy like Tom Brady or Peyton Manning, guys, I might consider something like that."

:what: he continually showed he still had it with the 9ers. He was just over crowded and under used, not saying he's in 2007 form. He can still play tho. That's the GOAT WR :mjcry:

He was on PTI the other day and said he was just answering a question and he comfortable on Fox Sports. Said he retired cause of family issues wand having to be there for his kids, not cause he couldn't play.
