GalantForum VeteranFree Agency. Thought context would have clarified that.

FinatikStaffOffer 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.
Lots of people will tell you what they think about you and what you shouldn't and should do. Not everyone's thoughts are worth consideration. Don't take criticism from anyone who you wouldn't also go to for advice.

I don't think that word means what you think it means......

thisperishedminForum VeteranNot 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
Vertical LimitForum VeteranWow this website is really overrating Clay. Good lord....

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

Great film. Great book. Doesn't apply here. It can mean both. Look it up.

DevilFin13SupporterLast 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 $.
SICKForum VeteranKaep sucked last year and Crabtree still had 600+ yards and 4 tds. Bring him in.

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.
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.

I'd say both... As a guy that bets on a lot of sports, I learned my lesson on Kaepernick........
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.

Kaep sucked because Crabtree lost his main good quality.

bg34New MemberI'm all for a Crabtree/Stills/Landry/Cameron combination.

This is what is likely in the works. Add Sims as a role player to that, and Rishard Matthews in for a couple hundred snaps.

LimboForum VeteranThe main reason for signing a guy like this is so we don't enter the draft with a gaping need at perimeter WR. Because honestly right now we don't have a proven (vet) WR who can line up outside and win with even moderate consistency. Cameron is the closest thing...and he's got huge health questions.
I've not been a fan of what Crabtree's brought to the table since he got to the League, but I do like the idea that seems to be behind this. Take a shot on a guy who fills a huge need and is coming from a bad situation. You're banking on his production picking up in a new environment and new system with a new QB. I think the odds of that happening are decent.
He's not going to be a feature/high volume guy anyway. He's just a guy you can feel okay about lining up on the outside, even if it's not a huge snap total. And we don't have that at the moment.
Fin DForum VeteranDumb question.......but do teams trot out their starting QBs to throw to receiving prospects?
Vertical LimitForum VeteranPretty sure that happens often... that's how we ended up with Hartline... thanks Henne..

Hartline was a great 4th round pick.

not a dumb question, sometimes they do and sometimes they dont. Usually, its a workout with the coach of that particular group and then for receivers the jugs machine.
Clark KentForum VeteranWould rather have Greg Jennings. Does Philbin hate that guy or what?
54FinsForum VeteranCrabtree did well earlier in his career because he was getting more targets.
Enter Harbaugh, trading Smith,enter Kapp (read option) ,having Davis and Boldin as primary targets and not to mention Gore...
He was an afterthought in that Offense. Would love to have him here..
Pennington's Limp ArmForum VeteranPeople are overreacting
IF Crabtree ends up here, he is still a better outside option than Hartline.
A healthy Cameron is a more dangerous weapon than Clay.
With the ascend of Landry, Gibson would have been just a depth slot guy. Matthews can replace him from within the organization.
You can debate the merits of Wallace vs. Stills, but considering their respective cap hits, you can't debate the increase in value.
