SANTA CLARA, Calif. — A person with knowledge of the negotiations says Randy Moss is back in the NFL with the San Francisco 49ers.

ESPN first reported the move.

Moss agreed to a one-year deal Monday with the reigning NFC West champions, according to a person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the club had yet to make a formal announcement. The 35-year-old Moss worked out with the 49ers earlier in the day with former NFL quarterback and current coach Jim Harbaugh participating.

Moss, who worked out last Tuesday with the New Orleans Saints, spent a year out of football and last played for New England, Minnesota and Tennessee during a rocky 2010 season. He will help fill a big void in a depleted receiving corps.
