Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud has signed a two-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

McCloud emerged as a return man during his two seasons with the Steelers. Last year, he led the NFL with 367 punt return yards, while also filling in for an injured JuJu Smith-Schuster and catching 39 passes.

According to Fowler, the Steelers attempted to re-sign McCloud, but the 49ers were aggressive with their deal. Pittsburgh will now search for a new return man while also trying to find a reliable depth piece at wideout.

Diontae Johnson, Chase Claypool and Cody White are the only receivers still on the roster who were active last season.
