Report: Raiders release Crabtree ahead of signing Nelson
by from on (#3J9QK)
The Oakland Raiders are releasing wide receiver Michael Crabtree after three seasons, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN.
The move makes room for a new addition as the Raiders are reportedly signing former Green Bay Packers receiver Jordy Nelson to a two-year, $15-million deal.
Crabtree produced his lowest yardage output as a member of the Raiders in 2017 and was suspended for one game for his latest encounter with Aqib Talib.
The Raiders will save around $7.7 million in cap space by parting ways with the veteran receiver, according to Spotrac.
