I am surprised how much of a heated back and forth this has become. I do honestly believe that he could help a team and think he is kind of in a situation similar to Terrel Owens. Obviously I also think Owens will help the Bengals a lot this year. People that think there is no chance of Iverson reinventing himself must not be patriots fans. About three years ago a guy by the name of Randy Moss was barely worth a 4th round draft pick after repeated problems in Minnesota (legal and on field) then being accused of completely quitting on the Raiders. I know they are different sports, but I think you could say Iverson has a lot in common with Owens and previously Moss. PS save your air on Iverson being more washed up cause both players were on the wrong side of 30 when these things happened and Owens is completely aincient by NFL standards. I am not sure if Iverson will sign anywhere, but counting him completely off seems premature...
NBA is different the the NFL.
The Moss we see with the Patriots looks a lot like the Moss with the Vikings. He had a bad stop.
There is nothing in AI's history that shows he could play a smaller role off the bench.
And honestly, the Celtics already have two small guards that play.
Lets be fair here Moss had a lot of issues with the vikings too
Here are his three biggest with the vikings from his wiki page. Notice he was accused of quitting on the vikings previous to the raiders.
Traffic incident
On September 24, 2002 in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, Moss was driving and was preparing to make an illegal turn. A traffic control officer, noticing what he was about to do, stood in front of his car, ordering him to stop. Eyewitness accounts of the event differ at this point, but Moss did not comply with the officer's order, and she was bumped by his vehicle and fell to the ground. Moss was arrested, and a search of his vehicle revealed a small amount of marijuana.[49] Initially charged with felony Suspicion of Assault with a Deadly Weapon and a misdemeanor marijuana possession, Moss pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor traffic violation and was ordered to pay a $1,200 fine and perform 40 hours of community service.[50]
Leaving the field during a game
During the last game of the 2004 regular season against the Washington Redskins and with two seconds remaining on the game clock, Moss walked off the field and into the locker room; critics criticized Moss for quitting on his team.[51] Moss stated afterward that he didn’t think Minnesota, who ended up losing 21-18 to Washington, would recover the onside kick.[52]
Playoff mooning incident
On January 9, 2005, the Minnesota Vikings traveled to division rival Green Bay to take on the heavily favored Packers in an NFC wildcard playoff game. Moss finished the game with 4 catches for 70 yards and two touchdowns in the 31-17 win. After the second score, Moss trotted to the end zone goalpost and, facing away from the crowd, feigned pulling down his pants to moon the Green Bay fans. TV announcer Joe Buck, calling the game, was incensed, calling it "a disgusting act" on-air. Days later, the NFL fined him $10,000, finding it "unsportsmanlike" and "offensive" during the playoffs. However, then-Indianapolis Colts head coach Tony Dungy, the former Vikings defensive coordinator, explained Moss' action by pointing out that Packers fans are infamous for actually mooning the buses of departing opponents after a loss,[53] unlike Moss' fully-clothed imitation.
In the latter stages of his NFL career, particularly for a wide receiver relying on speed, moss has shown to be a changed man in new england and has not had any off the field incidents or people accusing him of quitting.
