After going unselected in last month’s NFL draft, Thaddeus Moss had options.
The Cincinnati Bengals wanted to sign the 21-year-old tight end, giving him the chance to reunite with his quarterback at LSU, Joe Burrow. The New England Patriots also expressed interest, a possibility that would have meant playing for a team where his Hall of Fame father, Randy Moss, played.
But in the end, Moss signed with the Washington Redskins, the first team to reach out.
“That actually meant a lot to me,” Moss said. “(The Redskins) were the first team who contacted me and that’s who I was going to stick with.
