The Baltimore Ravens will release veteran wide receiver Michael Crabtree after one year with the team, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Monday. The team owed Crabtree a $2.5 million roster bonus next month and $7.5 million for the 2019 season, according to ESPN. His release will give Baltimore $4.67 million in additional salary cap space.
Crabtree, 31, signed a three-year, $21 million contract last March. A product of Texas Tech, Crabtree was the No. 10 overall pick by the San Francisco 49ers in the 2009 NFL Draft. He spent the first six seasons of his career with the Niners, followed by three seasons in Oakland before joining Baltimore.
Last season, Crabtree started 16 games and caught 54 passes - his fewest in a full season since 2009 - for 607 yards and three scores. He caught 19 passes in just five games in 2013 because of a torn Achilles tendon. For his career, he has played 141 games, starting all but three, gaining 7,477 yards and scoring 54 touchdowns.
