BREAKING: Randy Moss Returns to Vikings as Assistant Coach to Lead Team to NFC East Championship

Minneapolis, MN – May 26, 2025 — In a stunning and emotional move that has fans buzzing across the NFL, Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss is officially returning to the Minnesota Vikings — this time on the sidelines.

The Vikings have announced that Moss will join the coaching staff as an Assistant Coach, with a primary focus on mentoring wide receivers and revitalizing the team’s offensive strategy. His return comes as the franchise sets its sights on an NFC East Championship — a bold goal that reflects both Moss’s competitive fire and the Vikings’ renewed ambitions.

“I’ve always had purple running through my veins,” Moss said at a press conference earlier today. “It’s time to bring that same energy, that same passion, and help this team dominate the league again.”

Moss, who played for the Vikings from 1998 to 2004 and had a brief return in 2010, is widely regarded as one of the greatest wide receivers in NFL history. His electrifying play and unmatched ability to stretch the field made him a legend in Minnesota and across the football world.

Head Coach Kevin O’Connell welcomed the move, saying, “Randy brings not just experience and knowledge, but a unique edge that can elevate our entire locker room. He’s a true Viking, and our players are going to thrive under his guidance.”

Although the Vikings are typically part of the NFC North, the league recently announced a temporary divisional realignment for the 2025 season, placing Minnesota in the NFC East — a shake-up that has only added to the anticipation surrounding Moss’s return.

Fans are already expressing excitement on social media, with hashtags like #MossReturns and #VikingsNFCChamp trending within hours of the news.

As the 2025 season approaches, one thing is clear: Randy Moss is back, and he’s not just looking to relive glory — he’s ready to build it all over again
