He is staying in the Bay Area, although this may not be the best of career moves. 
Raiders signed WR Michael Crabtree to a one-year, $3 million contract with another $2 million available through incentives.
A May 2013 Achilles' rupture sparked a sharp downturn in Crabtree's career, as he's been brutally slow-footed since and bottomed out by playing just 68.1 percent of the 49ers' snaps last season. His free agent market was predictably ice cold, with only the Dolphins, Raiders and Ravens showing any interest. That allowed Reggie McKenzie to swoop in, as he has massive holes at wideout and tons of money to burn after missing out on big-ticket WRs Randall Cobb and Jeremy Maclin. But if Crabtree was looking to rehab his value, the Black Hole isn't the place to do it. The Raiders haven't had a 1,000-yard receiver since 2005 (Randy Moss) and we wouldn't expect Crabtree to break that streak. He'll be part of a rotation with James Jones, Rod Streater, Andre Holmes and a draft pick.
