Michael Crabtree Released

[Bjordan554207]

Ravens released Michael Crabtree today, and John Brown may be leaving through FA.

This leaves the Ravens with Snead, Chris Moore, Jordan Lasley and Jaleel Scott at WR. Which is less than ideal.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on what the Ravens do to patch up the WR position, who are you looking to own that’s already there, and how does this effect Jackson moving forward?

[Jfever]

I’d assume they will be hosting some FA’s. I’d also assume they will be strongly considering adding an early round rookie wr.

Good thing for Brown and Crabtree.

Maybe they are going to treat Lamar like a high school qb and not require him to throw...ever. Just run run run. Maybe they’ll run 2TE 2RB power options. They’ve been stocking up on tight ends like they want to.

[LestForce]

Anyone else see this as a good opportunity to buy Crabtree? Feel he could be gotten for just about anything, could return decent WR3 play for a contender.

This was my first thought. Baltimore is about worst case scenario for WRs.

This, but from the other angle- what self respecting WR will want to go to a QB and offensive scheme like Baltimore's? If Jackson doesn't develop, the offense will be something like Georgia Tech's over the years- heavy running with WRs' primary job to be blocking, with the occasional surprise pass. A healthy Demaryius Thomas would work, since he has experience in that scheme. Maybe Donte Moncrief?

Brandon Marshall is a good blocker right?

Get Treadwell. He can block, and can't get open, but who cares. TE's would be the guys I'd target in that offense. If any WR gets drafted there, I am immediately dropping them down on my board.

Oh yeah let's go. Read option with the 4 TE set

[ArrylT]

Seems like a good move for the Ravens & Crabtree both - as it allows both to move in different directions. Obviously should be easier though for the Ravens to add WR than it will be for Crabtree to find a good fit though.

Run gazelle run!! Away from Baltimore!

[Ravens5220]

Hoping the Ravens can keep Smokey Brown and then draft a reciever early, big type (Metcalf, Harry, Butler). But as of right now big bump for Mark Andrews and definitely a lot more 2 te sets.

[Ice]

Glad he is out of there. Should help him.

Oh man all those worthless 5th round picks I used on Andrews are making me so freeking right now.
