The Oakland Raiders are releasing wide receiver Michael Crabtree, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Crabtree’s pending release means Oakland is likely to bring in former Green Bay Packers receiver Jordy Nelson, as per Schefter.

The 30-year-old wideout led the Raiders with eight receiving touchdowns in 2017, and racked up 25 total TDs in three seasons in Oakland.

Drafted 10th overall in 2009 out of Texas Tech by the San Francisco 49ers, Crabtree spent his first six seasons with the Niners before crossing the Bay. He has racked up 6,870 receiving yards and 51 touchdowns with San Francisco and Oakland in 125 games.
