Seahawks tried to sign Randy Moss before run to Super Bowl XLVIII

As everyone remembers, Percy Harvin’s debut season with the Seahawks did not go as planned. The offensive chess piece underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in late July, made his debut in Week 11 before being forced out because of his hip, then suffered a concussion in the divisional round.

What we didn’t know until now was that Seattle attempted to replace Harvin in the lineup with an even bigger name. Appearing on Russell Wilson’s podcast, DangerTalk, Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss told Wilson that Seahawks GM John Schneider called him about coming to Seattle after Harvin got hurt (though it’s unclear if this followed Harvin’s hip flare-up after Week 11 or the concussion suffered in the divisional round).
