According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, the Ravens would like to close the deal with free agent WR Michael Crabtree during his visit to Baltimore on Friday. However, Rapoport says that if they’re unable to reach an agreement, Crabtree has other visits lined up.
It’s worth mentioning that signing him to a contract won’t impact a team’s 2019 compensatory picks, given that he was released this offseason.
Crabtree, 30, is a former first-round pick of the 49ers back in 2009. He spent six years in San Francisco before signing on with the Raiders in 2015.
Crabtree was entering the fourth year of his five-year, $34 million contract that included $19 million guaranteed when the Raiders released him in a move that freed up$7,687,500 of available cap space.
In 2017, Crabtree appeared in 14 games and caught 58 passes for 618 yards receiving and eight touchdowns for the Raiders. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 62 receiver out of 116 qualifying players.
