Former Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Michael Crabtree is still out on the open market after being released at the end of February, but Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports thinks he will find a home soon. And where does Benjamin feel that Crabtree will end up? Green Bay.
It definitely makes sense, as the Packers' receiving corps is a bit shaky once you get past Davante Adams. While they certainly have a lot of guys vying for the No. 2 receiver role, there are no sure things, and Green Bay went mainly defense in the draft, only adding Texas A&M tight end Jace Sternberger to the offensive side of the ball in the third round.
Crabtree is coming off of a 2018 campaign in which he played all 16 games and hauled in 54 receptions for 607 yards and three touchdowns.
The 31-year-old, who played his collegiate football at Texas Tech, was originally selected by the San Francisco 49ers with the 10th overall pick of the 2009 NFL Draft, but never lived up to expectations.
It took him four years to record a 1,000-yard season, something he only did once during six seasons with the 49ers.Crabtree then made his way to the Oakland Raiders, where he spent three seasons. His best year came in 2016, when he caught 89 passes for 1,003 yards and eight scores. The Dallas native went on to sign a three-year deal with the Ravens last March, but lasted only one year in what was his least productive season since 2013, when he played in just five games due to injury.
