The Baltimore Ravens released veteran wide receiver Michael Crabtree on Monday after he spent one year with the team. 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 with the Oakland Raiders before joining Baltimore.

Last season, Crabtree started 16 games and caught 54 passes -- his fewest in a full season since 2010 -- for 607 yards and three scores. He caught 19 passes in just five games in 2013 when he missed time due to a torn Achilles tendon. For his career, he has played 141 games, starting all but three, gaining 7,477 receiving yards and scoring 54 touchdowns.
