Crabtree signs with Raiders

[Jmac]

Three millon, one year contract with two millon inventive package. To the black hole he goes. That leaves the one not to be discussed left, maybe on to wonderfull Jacksonville. Look to the draft....we are done here with a WR I believe.

Good for him. Hope he takes advantage of it and ball out. 

[Pejorative Miscreant]

Someone bumps the Jennings thread in 3, 2, .....

[Mol3m4n]

Didn't want anyway.

[GoobyPls]

I would take him over Jennings at this point.

Crabtree is one of those players who always seems to generate

much more conversation & debate than actual plays on the

field.

Interesting. I didn't know this. I understand the sentiment but it seems a little unreasonable. Though... I'm not a raider fan and don't have their "tradition"

[Moorgan]

Sounds like a whinny emotional fan that doesn't understand money and its favor. Your professional sports franchise is not your high school team whose "colors" need defending from your local rivals. #sharksandjets

[Carolina Cajun]

Still too much for this under talented diva.  Can't wait till he get's bounced from the league.

[Soul Rebel]

Didn't want him honestly. If he came here, I wouldn't have jumped off the ledge, because I think he could be serviceable as a #2, but not sad that he went to Oakland. 

 

That being said, no need to bump the Jennings thread, but Crabtree at least set the ceiling for what Jennings could go for. I think Crabtree is the more desired WR from a money standpoint, so I guess we could hypothesize that if we were to sign Jennings, it would be in the $3M/year range. 

 

[Hotsauce]

No way I would have give him $3 million. Good for him though

[Ricky Spanish]

Well to be fair the raiders HAVE to spend money right now or else they get in trouble. No way he gets that cash anywhere else. 

[AceBoogie]

Crabtree would have easily been the second best WR on our roster. Easily
