Last week the Raiders essentially swapped Michael Crabtree out for former Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson. They gave him essentially the same salary to fill the same starting receiver spot, making both moves almost simultaneously.
The following day, the Ravens signed Crabtree to a deal that was also about the same as he was to receive from the Raiders to start for them.
The reactions I’ve seen from Raiders fans have been mixed. Some were disappointed in the move to let go of the 30-year-old Crabtree for the soon-to-be 33-year-old Nelson.
