Get rid of 84

Let’s just be real for a minute here. No one will ever fill Randy Moss’s shoes. The number 84 should be retired before this new draft class comes in.

I’m tired of seeing young players, or veterans, come into MINNESOTA the home of the legendary Randy Moss, and think they deserve that number. The number 84 in Minnesota is sacred as, assumably, the whole country knows. Since Moss left the team after his first seven years in the league, four different players tried to wear the number 84. This list includes:

  • Aundrae Allison (2007)
  • Randy Moss (Again in 2010)
  • Michael Jenkins (2011)
  • Cordarrelle Patterson (2013-2016)
  • Irv Smith Jr.
