The on-again, off-again saga between the Cardinals and Michael Crabtree is off. Again. On Monday, the Cardinals announced the release of the veteran wide receiver.
Crabtree’s run in red lasted just three games and two appearances (he was inactive Week 1 against the Lions). Initially, he was set to be a veteran security blanket for Kyler Murray, but he never synced with the offense. Meanwhile, Damiere Byrd and KeeSean Johnson have stepped up their respective games.
The Cardinals can probably stand pat at WR since they had seven receivers active for their loss against the Panthers. Still, they’ll lose out on some cash here as Crabtree’s $500K signing bonus and $1.75MM salary were both locked in.
Crabtree, 32, posted just 54 receptions off of 100 targets with Baltimore last year. He’s still looking to reprise his best work from previous years, including his 1,000-yard season with the Raiders in 2016.
He’s TOAST !!
Time to help David Crabtree locate that 1928 Porter !!
I will almost guarantee that the Patriots sign him.
Was thinking the same thing. At vet minimum it might make sense.
he can come to Philly for a week
he’s going to be a cowboy
Texans or Cowboys. He can go home and I think he would fit in with their systems well. His best days are behind him but I don’t think he’s done. He just didn’t fit in that system. The Cards will be lucky to win 4-5 games this year so they probably did him a favor and now he can latch on with a team at a shot at making the playoffs
Pats cut Brown hello Crabtree to New England
Goofball, still had a few very good seasons, hope he banked his money. If he doesn’t have a sweet pad paid off in the DFW area he is dumb.
Man the brain trust in AZ must be high. So much churn and they still have not addressed the O-line which stinks. Not to mention how they got carved up by the Panthers run game…very sad!
$2.25M for a week ain’t bad. Nice work Cardinals GM.
Give the Cards some credit it was two weeks.
Texans or Cowboys
