The San Francisco 49ers and Randy Moss have agreed to a one year contract on Monday, he will be replacing Braylon Edwards as the teams low risk high reward free agent wide receiver. Randy Moss last played in the NFL in 2010 when he started the season with the Patriots, got traded to the Vikings after 8-games, then was cut after only playing 4-games with the Vikings. Following his short, and failed reunion with the Vikings, he finished the seasons last 4-games with the Tennessee Titans. Randy Moss, one of the NFL’s all-time greatest wide receivers will be returning to the 49ers so that he can end his career on his terms. Their is no doubt that Randy Moss can still play at an elite level if he wants, he just needs the motivation. The 49ers believe they will be able to get the best out of Moss in the 2012 NFL season.
The San Francisco 49ers have announced that their Unrestricted Free Agent and star Free Safety, Dashon Goldson, will receive the Franchise Tag. This now gives the 49ers the ability to focus on their other Free Agents, the draft, and signing other Free Agents (starting March 13th), while knowing that Goldson will be with the team for at least one more year, and they can slowly try to work out a long term deal with him. None of the reports indicate that the 49ers and Dashon Goldson are close to a deal.

Ahmad Brooks of the San Francisco 49ers has signed a six-year extension worth $44.5 million with $17.5 million guaranteed. This extension will keep Ahmad intact in San Francisco through 2017, where he played as a starter for the first time last season. Ahmad has had a rough playing career both in the NFL and in college, starting from his days with the Cavaliers when he was kicked off the team, and being waived by the Cincinnati Bengals. Coming off his best season so far, the 49ers believe Ahmad is a better player and person, thereby offering him a contract extension before he becomes a free agent next month.
In the 2012 NFL Draft, expect the 49ers to look at drafting a WR, on of their weaker positions that they need to address this offseason. With Alex Smith coming off a career year and proving to the 49ers that he may be San Francisco 49ers franchise QB, they will need to find a way to provide him with more explosive weapons other than their dynamic Tight-End, Vernon Davis. With Davis showing the NFL that he can’t be stopped and requiring teams to put a CB on him or at least have a safety keep an eye on him, having an explosive WR to put on the outside would open up a lot of opportunities for the 49ers offense and possibly start scoring touchdowns instead of kicking Field Goals.
Sources are saying that the 49ers are looking at the bigger receivers who will not only be able to stretch the field, but will be able to go over the middle and be tough to take down. With the defense still in a good position to be dominant, the 49ers are hoping to improve their offense by adding more weapons to the outside.
On a day when the offense struggled to finish drives, the defense stepped up and thoroughly dominated the Cardinals to lead the 49ers to a 23-7 win.
The defense forced five turnovers and held Arizona to 52 yards in the first half. Patrick Willis led the way with an interception and a forced fumble. Donte Whitner and Dashon Goldson also had interceptions. Larry Fitzgerald was held to three receptions for 41 yards and the Cardinals’ lone touchdown.
Despite moving the ball well, the offense only managed to score nine points in the first half on three David Akers’ field goals. Akers missed three other attempts, two of which were blocked. They finally got into the end zone in the third quarter on touchdown receptions from Kyle Williams and Vernon Davis. Alex Smith had another strong game with 267 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Michael Crabtree had his best game of the year with seven receptions for 120 yards. Frank Gore battled through a knee injury to run for 88 yards.
The 49ers improve to 9-1 and face a short week to prepare for the much anticipated Thanksgiving night matchup with the Baltimore Ravens.
Injury Concerns
Tarell Brown injured his knee during the week and is questionable for Sunday’s game. Frank Gore and Ray McDonald are also listed as questionable, but are expected to play.
Kevin Kolb has still been limited in practice and is unlikely to play. Joey Porter and Kerry Rhodes have been ruled out. .
He Can Still Give You “Fitz”
I know it’s the most obvious concern for the 49ers defense, but with questions at quarterback, an average running game, and the lack of other threats in the passing game, controlling Larry Fitzgerald is a must to shutdown the Cardinals.
Don’t Punt to Peterson
Alot of 49er fans wanted Patrick Peterson with the seventh pick in last April’s draft, but he was too talented for the Cardinals to pass up and it has paid off nicely for them. Peterson has been solid at cornerback with two interceptions, but he has really made his mark as a punt returner. He is averaging 17.6 yards per return and has returned three for touchdowns.
