Ravens to release Michael Crabtree after one season
OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens informed Michael Crabtree that they are releasing the veteran wide receiver after one disappointing season, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Crabtree, 31, was scheduled to receive a $2.5 million roster bonus next month and earn $7.5 million in 2019 after leading the NFL with eight dropped passes last season. Baltimore will free up $4.667 million in salary cap room by parting ways with Crabtree, who made 54 catches (his fewest in a full season since his 2009 rookie year) for 607 yards receiving and three touchdowns.
