On Wednesday evening, the Cardinals bolstered their receiving corps with the addition of former Baltimore Raven Michael Crabtree. This move came several hours following the release of receiver Kevin White, who had not been able to stay healthy.
Crabtree, who turns 32 next month, is still productive for his age. The veteran posted 602 yards receiving a season ago in the incredible run heavy Raven offense. The previous season he posted similar receiving numbers but did haul in eight touchdowns.
This move allows the Cardinals to slow play the development of their three rookie receivers, especially when you consider fourth rounder Hakeem Butler is potentially facing IR due to a broken hand.
