The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... Crabtree's one-year contract with the Raiders is for $3 million with an additional $2 million in incentives, a league source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Diehards Line:
As ESPN.com's Bill Williamson suggests, there is no doubt Crabtree, who will turn 28 in September, has lost some ability. He had a torn Achilles in 2013, and he has been dealing with lower leg issues. He clearly wasn't the same player the past season, when he averaged just 10.3 yards a catch and his season high for receiving yards in a game was 85. On Monday, Williamson talked to an NFL scout who said he thought Crabtree is on the downside of his career. That said, Crabtree is the first receiver the Raiders have given second-year quarterback Derek Carr this year. He is not Randall Cobb or Jeremy Maclin, but Williamson believes Carr will enjoy having another legitimate receiving option to throw to this fall.
