The 49ers are expected to sign kicker Greg Joseph to compete with Jake Moody in training camp, according to Joseph’s agent, Brett Tessler.
The team has not announced any deal.
Joseph, 30, kicked for the Giants, Commanders and Jets last season, making 16 of 20 field-goal attempts and all 11 extra points. He was previously the Vikings’ starter from 2021-23 after stops in Cleveland and Tennessee.
For his career, the former Florida Atlantic kicker has made 82.3% of his field goal attempts and 90.8% of his extra points.
Moody has been the target of fan ire over his two seasons with the 49ers after being picked in the third round of the 2023 draft as a former Lou Groza Award winner as the best kicker in college football.
His first big miss was a 41-yarder as time expired in Cleveland during October of his rookie year, sending the 49ers to a loss.
He made game-winning kicks in two playoff games after the 2023 season, but only after he missed kicks earlier in the game. He missed an extra point in Super Bowl LVIII that ultimately helped send the game to overtime, but he also nailed a 53-yarder to give the 49ers a late lead before Kansas City tied it at the end of regulation.
Moody was also on the receiving end of Deebo Samuel’s frustration during a November game against Tampa Bay last season. He had missed three field goals, but after Samuel took a swipe at him on the sideline, he made a walk-off winner.
He finished last season on a cold streak, missing four of six field-goal attempts over the final three games, though all four misses were from 40-plus yards.
Moody has made 45-of-59 field goals in his career (76.3 percent) and 92 of 94 extra points.
