Why would we sign Crabtree?  I want our current WRs on the field.  Getting experience.  Reps.

Well we still need another WR.  Moore/Samuel are good, but we have nobody outside of them.

We still have Torrey Smith under contract.  Is Crabtree better?  I don't know.  I'd still rather cut Smith at this point.

We still have Jarius Wright, and I don't see him being cut.  2.4 cap hit, 1.3 dead cap.  Not sure if saving 1 mil with a 1.3 dead cap hit is worth it there. 

If Crabtree comes dirt cheap.  Sure.  But I don't want to sign anyone that will take away from Moore/Samuel snaps.  That means a focus would be on a pretty cheap guy to fill in behind them.

Yeah but Wright can’t play outside.  Not very well, anyway.  We’d be screwed if Samuel or Moore got hurt. 

I agree we shouldn’t spend big money on him, but I think he’d come pretty cheap.

My main problem with Crabtree is the number 32.  That will be his age right after the 2019 season starts. 

If this were like some seasons past where we could make a case that only the WR position was holding us back, maybe.  But WR is not our primary need.  It isn't #2, either.

Right now we appear to be on a track to get younger, and that is a track that is needed.  Turn the number 32 into 27, and maybe I would feel differently.
