Prior to Gruden being hired, there were reports coming out that the Raiders would be cutting Crabtree. I've wanted him since these reports came out. Robinson was my top choice though, but new we didn't have the cap space to pay for him.
Always made sense if you could lure him here. Doesn't come without his problems of course, but I'll gladly take the good aspects over the few bad things about him. Now, just have to lock it up.
