RANDY MOSS once said, "I play when I want to play."
Six months after retiring, the veteran NFL wide receiver wants to play again.
Moss announced on a webchat yesterday - his 35th birthday - that he's planning a comeback.
His agent, Joel Segal, wouldn't go into his client's available options.
"Randy and I have discussed it," Segal said of Moss coming out of retirement. "He still has his fire and he's looking forward to playing football. He's excited."
Moss posted on his Twitter page: "Now back to biz!! There's good an bad an u have to b ready for both! its in gods hand now."
Moss retired last August, compiling 14,858 receiving yards and 153 touchdowns in 13 seasons.
He last played in 2010, getting traded by the New England Patriots to the Minnesota Vikings before finishing the season with Tennessee. That year he had career lows of 28 catches for 393 yards.
Moss' 23 TD catches in 2007 that helped the Patriots reach the Super Bowl are a single-season NFL record.
His 10 seasons of at least 1,000 yards are second only to Jerry Rice's 14. He's tied with Terrell Owens for second on the career TD receptions list, well behind Rice's 197.
Moss' personal assistant, Donnie Jones, said Moss is "ready to rock 'n' roll."
