The Ravens informed wide receiver Michael Crabtree that he is being released, a source tells ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter (on Twitter). Crabtree will hit the open market again, just one year after signing a three-year, $21MM free agent deal with the Ravens last year. 
Crabtree didn’t live up to expectations in his first season with Baltimore and finished out with just 54 catches for 607 yards and three touchdowns. He connected with Joe Flacco at times, but his production fell off once Lamar Jackson took over as the team’s starting QB.
Without Crabtree on the roster, the Ravens will save $4.667MM against the 2019 cap. However, they’ll also carry an equivalent dead money hit.
Crabtree will turn 32 in September, so it’s unlikely that he’ll see similar money on his next deal given his so-so stat line and age. He had similar catch and yardage numbers with the Raiders in ’17, but those stats were buoyed by eight touchdown receptions.
On the plus side, this year’s free agent wide receiver crop is softer than in years past. This year’s class is headlined by the likes of Golden Tate, Jamison Crowder, and Tyrell Williams.
Lions?
Bills?
Crabtree is the victim of a inaccurate QB. As soon as teams figure out how to stop Lamar Jackson run game, Baltimore will be back on the market for a QB.
So his dropped passes was because of the QB? Look i like Crabtree but he dropped alot of passes.
Don’t you know that all the passes he dropped when Flacco was throwing were Lamar’s fault too?
It’s not hard to figure Jackson out, load the box, bring pressure from the edge force him to step up in the pocket, make him feel uncomfortable and make him a passer. Easier said than done but as long as you contain him you’re gonna have a good time defensively
What receiver wants Lamar Jackson throwing to them?
Um, idk, probably any receiver who needs a job?
If Philly can fit him in with their limited cap space he could replace Golden Tate
Go back to the 49ers?
Hell no
The Vikings could really use a 3rd WR to replace Treadwell. I think a guy like Desean Jackson would fit better to stretch the field and open the middle more for Thielen and Diggs, but money will be of short supply.
Would be huge upgrade over Treadwell but my money is on Garçon or Crowder joining the Vikings
El Busto
Thought he was going to be a great addition to the Ravens but Richard Sherman was right. MEDIOCRE
