    Could be a good addition for the right price.

    That could very well signify that Clay's offer sheet won't be matched.

    I haven't paid much attention to Crabtree so I can't contribute any personal opinion but if the below is anything to go by is this really where the Fins are going - dumping Wallace, Gibson and Hartline and then scraping the bottom of the barrel? If the below is where it's at then I hope this visit is just due diligence.

    According to CSN Bay Area's Matt Maiocco, free agent Michael Crabtree has no interest in re-signing with the 49ers.

    Per Maiocco, "the 49ers rank 33rd (give or take) among teams on which he’d prefer to play next season." Of course, there are only 32 teams in the league, so the 49ers are an absolute last resort for Crabtree. The problem is Crabtree has drawn zero known interest from outside clubs since the season ended, with only the 49ers rumored to have interest in a reunion. The feeling isn't mutual. Crabtree is still just 27, but runs like he's 32 and never had separation skills from the start. Mar 13 - 4:12 PM
    Source: Matt Maiocco on Twitter

    A league source tells Profootballtalk there's "little or no market" for free agent Michael Crabtree.
    This is stating the obvious since Crabtree has yet to make a visit, but confirms there's nothing going on behind the scenes that's yet to be leaked. Unproductive of late with a long injury history, Crabtree is eventually going to have to swallow his pride and accept a discounted deal, likely for only one year. Mar 17 - 11:06 PM
    Source: Profootballtalk on NBCSports.com

    ESPN Redskins reporter John Keim reports Washington has expressed interest in free agent WR Michael Crabtree, but the Chargers are "a stronger possibility."
    This is the first we have heard about either link, and the first solid interest Crabtree has garnered since free agency began. Crabtree's skills have declined dramatically since he tore his Achilles' in 2013, but he is the best remaining receiver in a picked-over market. He should find a new home soon. Mar 14 - 11:19 AM

    I'd rather the Phins see what happens in the draft at WR and then revisit Crabtree after, if necessary. He is not a particularly appealing player, IMO.

    Unless they can sign him to a prove-it sort of deal that they can easily get out of... I'd stay away.

    Crabtree Landry Stills Matthews and a draftee. Plus JC and Sims at TE. I like it.

    PFF's number 95th ranked WR. You can argue here and there about the way PFF does their stuff, but 95th; and for damn good reason imo.

    FGS!! Draft a high character brilliant young receiver who just happened to blow up the combine...Chris Conley.

    Losing Clay and gaining Crabtree, is like losing your girlfriend and gaining crabs.

    I think he would mesh well with Tannehill. Kaep is one of the worst QBs I've ever seen as far as consistent passing goes, its hard to judge the guy.

    I'd rather have Cameron than Clay, even with injury issues. Amazing how people forget the number of key passes Clay flat out dropped last season. He's a one dimensional TE who isn't difficult for good defenses to shut down.

    Now he is damaged goods with a bad attitude.

    I disagree with one dimensional TE. Good defenses have to account for him, which opens up more for other areas. Which is why the good defensive guru who was good at shutting him down wants him so badly.

    What? You were the one who asked if we could ever sign a great free agent, apparently forgetting that we JUST signed the best defensive player to hit the open market in years.

    Jordan Cameron is a pretty good pick up as well.

    LOL wtf? You said "can we really expect to land good FAs?"

    Albert and Wallace were both at the top of their market and we got them both.

    This year within the first week or 2 of FA we obtained 2 pro bowlers. One of them arguably the greatest defensive FA OF ALL TIME to be let loose. . And the other is a TE who specifically cited our QB as a main reason for coming here...what are you even talking about?

    The FA market for WR is toast now and Crabtree would be a solid pickup who will contribute

    Offer him a 1 year deal at vet minimum. Nothing to lose. If he works out great. If not then he just gets cut and it was a nice cheap try.

    Not sure I love it. Not sure I'd hate it if we moved forward. I would rather look towards the draft...but we still have a lot of holes no doubt.

    We need at least one of LB / WR / OL before the draft - and pickings in FA are slim at every one. Wouldn't hate it on that basis alone...but it would be a bummer if it kept us from drafting a WR as well

    He's not going to sign for that, if anything Oakland will be his last resort to get a decent contract.

    Last year looks like an outlier for Crabtree. I don't know if that's injury or Kaepernick. But assuming he's healthy it seems like a decent risk if he's not asking for too much $.

    I'm with you on this one. No reason to give him anything more than a "one-year prove it to me" deal, and we can wait on this....not much market for him, and the wait may fire him up to want to prove something. That would be a win-win for both parties.

    Crabtree was never that good. Sherman was right when he said it. However, if he's not getting much interest then I'll gladly throw a cheap, one year deal at him. They're going to need some depth. I think I might prefer Jennings though.

    Maybe the Bills will give him 10mill a year. Since those are the same stats as Clay. LoL

    He has no suitors. A cheap contract may be taken.
