Randy Moss signed a one-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers Monday night, according to Jason La Canfora of the NFL Network. Moss didn't play last season, and at 35 years old he is joining his fifth franchise. Along with Minnesota, Moss has played for the Patriots, Titans and Raiders.

Former Vikings star Randy Moss is apparently fitting in quite well with his new team in San Francisco. The 35-year-old receiver -- who has a history of sometimes disrupting the flow as a malcontent -- has "been a cool, down to earth guy," according to 49ers defensive end Justin Smith. Moss is back after a year retirement from the NFL in 2011.

Randy Moss, who signed with the San Francisco 49ers for the 2012 season, told reporters he’s “gotten a bad rap" over the years for not being a team player. He says he’s “ready to go” and promises to be the Moss of old.

Former Vikings Cris Carter and Randy Moss are in an old fashioned war of words. Carter says Moss has "more quit in him" that any player he's ever seen. Moss shot back by saying on Twitter: "It's sad how you stroked your own ego when you were supposed to be my mentor."

The Star Tribune's Sid Hartman references a column from 2003 when Cris Carter defended Randy Moss after the outspoken receiver said he plays when he wants to play. Things have changes. Earlier this week, Carter said Moss "has more quit in him" than most players he's been around.

Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman says the team has no interest in re-signing Randy Moss for a third time. Spielman told reporters Thursday “we’ll be moving on.” The 35-year-old wide receiver announced earlier this week he wants to return to the NFL in 2012.

Randy Moss broke news on Monday when he announced he is making a return to the NFL. On Tuesday, Moss's agent told ProFootballTalk.com that three teams are already interested in Moss, with more teams expected to show interest when the NFL Combine begins next week.

Randy Moss had his first workout as a San Francisco 49er on Monday, and he called his experience, "eye-opening." 49ers offensive lineman Joe Staley said Moss "looked really, really good" and he thinks he will "be a great addition to the team."
