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.

will be interesting to see how much he's fallen off due to the injury

[mlb]

he can enjoy mediocrity - one thing we know for certain - when a second or third tier guy goes to a worse QB, he ALWAYS falls off from what he was... always.

He looked like he already lost whatever skills he did have from the torn achilles a few years back.

[Wrigley]

Never has lived up to his draft hype

[shaunovery]

Ninners had so much hope for him he has no speed can't break double coverage

[Otters27]

He was good for a short moment. Then after the Achillies we won't be the same. Raiders sign players past their prime just hoping

[BigSpoon]

That injury ruined him, not the same guy anymore.

[Robber]

Guess real nfl teams weren't interested

[BarkingToad]

Looks like raiders won't be paying much in incentives.

[Auto Donk]

agree, raiders hoping for results that just won't be there

[LT Profits]

The bright side is Raiders get off relatively cheap, so in that sense, not a terrible chance to take. Still, as mentioned, Crabtree has just about totally lost his speed since the torn Achiiles.

[Grits n' Gravy]

Raiders appear to be heading in the same direction as always if they think Carr is a franchise qb.

[Cross]

What a terrible pickup

[Robber]

Remember when Oakland picked up sf star Jerry rice ?

[mr. leisure]

Same old mediocre raiders

[R.P. McMurphy]

Robber lets not go overboard. Rice was coming back from a bad injury at advanced age but Crab was and never will be Rice. And I like Carr but still young and no Gannon not yet anyhow. He might be a good 2nd/3rd option but just cause we signed him now also is no guarantee he's playing in September.
