The Cincinnati Bengals have signed former Oakland Raiders wide receiver Denarius Moore to a one-year deal, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Monday.

In four seasons with the Raiders, Moore caught 142 passes for 2,169 yards and 17 touchdowns. His best season came in 2012, when he caught 51 passes for 741 yards and seven touchdowns. 

Last season was his least productive year as a pro, as injuries cost him six games. He finished the year with 12 catches for 115 yards. 

In Cincinnati, the former fifth-round pick will reunite with former Raiders head coach Hue Jackson, now the Bengals offensive coordinator. Jackson was Oakland's head coach in 2011, during Moore's breakout rookie season.
