49ers Reach One-Year Deal With WR Randy Moss

The San Francisco 49ers have reached agreement on a one-year deal with free agent wide receiver Randy Moss, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Moss, 35, worked out for the 49ers at their facility on Monday. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Selected in the first round of the 1998 NFL Draft out of Marshall by the Minnesota Vikings, Moss has 954 receptions, 14,858 yards and 153 touchdowns, earning six trips to the Pro Bowl and four first-team All-Pro honors. Moss ranks ninth all-time in receptions, fifth in receiving yards and is tied with former 49ers wide receiver Terrell Owens for second in touchdown receptions.

Moss spent the 2005 and 2006 seasons in the Bay Area after he was traded by the Vikings to the Oakland Raiders. Moss caught 102 passes for 1,558 yards with 11 touchdowns in 29 games for the Raiders before he was dealt to the New England Patriots in 2007.

The lack of a field-stretching wide receiver on the 49ers was evident in their NFC Championship Game loss to the New York Giants. Michael Crabtree had the only reception by the team's wide receivers in that game, a three-yard reception late in the fourth quarter, and the team could lose starter Josh Morgan to unrestricted free agency.
