Wide receiver Michael Crabtree won’t be leaving the Bay Area after all.
The former San Francisco 49ers wide receiver is expected to sign with Oakland Raiders, according to reports Monday night.
The Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Ravens also were interested in signing the six-year veteran, who had played his entire NFL career with the 49ers since being drafted No. 10 overall in 2009.
Crabtree will join Rod Streater, James Jones and Andre Holmes on the Raiders’ receiving depth chart.
The Dolphins were willing to pay Crabtree close to $3 million next season, but he wanted at least $4.5 million, according to the Miami Herald. Terms of his deal with the Raiders were not known Monday night.
In 2014, Crabtree caught 68 passes for 698 yards and four touchdowns.
Crabtree has totaled 347 receptions, 4,327 yards and 26 touchdowns in 79 career games.
