The San Francisco 49ers have decided to sign free agent Randy Moss to a one-year deal. Moss who retired before the start of last season worked out with the team before being signed to the contract.

The six-time Pro Bowler said of the move to come out of retirement "It was a no-brainer for me. I'm very passionate about what I do."

Moss last played for the New England Patriots, the Minnesota Vikings and the Tennessee Titans before being cut by the Titans back during the 2010-2011 season. Those who watched Moss workout said he looked great and were blown away by his speed.

The 49ers heading into the off-season had a glaring need for a deep threat wide receiver after losing in the NFC Championship game in which one pass was completed to a wideout.

"We are pleased to add a player with Randy's wealth of experience to our receiving corps," said 49ers general manager Trent Baalke.

Moss ranks 5th in receiving yards, 5th in touchdowns and 3rd in receiving touchdowns all-time in NFL history.

From The Sports Mind Of RB:
The 49ers definitely needed help at wide receiver but I hope they don't think Moss will be the answer. His last season in the league was not that good. And what happens if the team gets off to a bad start, will he just mope and quit? The Niners are taking a gamble but hope it will pay off in the end.
