EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings need wide receivers.

Just not Randy Moss.

Given the trouble he caused during his second stint with the team, a memorable month in the 2010 season, the disinterest in bringing back one of the most popular players among Vikings fans in franchise history comes as no surprise.

But general manager Rick Spielman confirmed Thursday the Vikings "will be moving on" without Moss. The 35-year-old Moss didn't play last season, but he announced this week he plans to return to the NFL, assuming a team will have him.

"Randy was a great player," Spielman said, "but again our focus is more on trying to get a young team."

Although the Vikings don't want to sign Moss, other teams have shown interest, according to Moss' agent, Joel Segal.

Segal, in an ESPN Radio interview Thursday with "The Scott Van Pelt Show" said he "was pleasantly taking a lot of phone calls within a few hours" of Moss' announcement Monday on UStream that he was ending his retirement.

"We've had head coaches call. We've had GMs call," Segal told ESPN Radio.

Segal said that because he has heard directly from the "decision-makers" on NFL teams without having to try to drum up interest, he's confident that Moss will be playing in the NFL in the 2012 season.

Since the Vikings aren't considering Moss, that leaves the rest of the unrestricted free-agent market, which opens March 13, and the draft, held April 26-28, for Minnesota to address the receiver position.

Spielman said he sees a rich, deep talent pool in both areas. However they're acquired, the Vikings need more big-play threats at the skill positions to help quarterback Christian Ponder and supplement wide receiver Percy Harvin, tight end Kyle Rudolph and, assuming he's healthy again, running back Adrian Peterson.
