KC Warpaint 3,234 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 ALAMEDA, Calif. -- The Oakland Raiders have given their offense a new look, adding wide receiver Jordy Nelson while releasing receiver Michael Crabtree, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter. They also added running back Doug Martin. Nelson will get a two-year, $15 million deal, a source tells Schefter, including $13 million guaranteed. Terms of the Martin deal are not yet known, though the Raiders will save more than $7.68 million against the salary cap with the release of Crabtree, who was due base salaries of $7 million and $7.5 million in 2018 and 2019, respectively.

oldtimer 8,686 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 so they basically broke even .. I didn't think Crabtree was that bad but maybe he was. Jordy is on the downward trend but still valuable for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAChiefsFan79 136 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I don't get this. They signed an older WR and a RB on the downside of his career. What the hell? Not complaining but my wife ain't happy, hahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieHard 2,061 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Wow. Crabtree carried them through the first half of the season when Cooper couldn’t catch the ball. Faded late. Missed some games. Not sure if this is an upgrade or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen 1,010,220 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Both those guys are broken and trending down. Weird signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daviecrockett 5 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I have always liked Nelson. Sucks to root against him, but at 33 time is against him anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoStud 3,253 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 If I had to guess cutting Crabtree was probably more about his attitude than his performance. He's pretty solid though unspectacular, Jordy Nelson is apparently great in the lockerroom, probably the type that Gruden wants around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Gruden is trying to change the culture a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
