ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) – The Oakland Raiders have agreed to a deal with free agent wide receiver Michael Crabtree.
Crabtree announced on his Twitter account Monday night that he is joining the Raiders. ESPN first reported the deal.
Crabtree will become a Raider six years later than many people expected. Oakland passed on Crabtree in the 2009 draft even though he was considered the top-ranked receiver. The Raiders instead took the faster Darrius Heyward-Bey seventh overall, three spots before Crabtree went to the San Francisco 49ers.
Heyward-Bey was a bust in Oakland.
