Thaddeus Moss says the Bengals and Patriots were also interested in signing him after the draft. He chose the Redskins because they called first.

The Washington Redskins were the big post-NFL Draft winners when they made headlines by signing undrafted free agent TE Thaddeus Moss, the son of Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss.
Many expected Moss to be drafted somewhere in the later rounds, but he had to wait out the final picks of the draft without hearing his name called, which he said was a slap in the face. However, it was the Redskins who came calling first after the draft ended, and for that reason, he chose to sign with them.
This is interesting when you consider that both the New England Patriots and Cincinnati Bengals also called, and Moss still chose Washington. Playing for Bill Belichick and the Pats is a dream for may tight ends, and Moss’ former college quarterback, Joe Burrow, is now with the Bengals.
Nonetheless, Moss ended up in Washington, and the Redskins are happy to have him.
