Moss to wear 81

Patriots receiver Randy Moss has finalized his jersey number. He will wear No. 81.

Moss had initially been issued No. 6. But receivers must have numbers from 80-89 or from 10-19.

No. 81 became available when receiver Jonathan Smith was waived last week.

Moss previously wore 84 in Minnesota and 18 in Oakland. He had actually warmed to the idea of wearing No. 6 -- the amount of points awarded for a touchdown -- but was required to make the switch.
