    If people would stop bringing up and attempting to defend awful takes, it would end.

    A 1 yr deal wouldn't hurt. He could give us about 4.5 sacks next season.

    Antonio would be a nice depth pickup. He would rotate in for Crick on 3rd downs for his pass rush prowess. Him and Crick rotating would make that LDE position very stout. Crick is the better player now and would be the starter, since he's good on early downs. He still needs work on the pass rush department, which I believe would be his focus of work this off season.

    But having Antonio helping out on pash rush and keeping Crick fresh would be a great thing.

    That would be PASS rush, not pash.

    Would be nice. A great pick up for a rotational guy.

    That would be excellent. Our 3rd DE would go from Pagan to Smith, a substantial upgrade.

    Dunno how much he has left but happy to bring him back on a reasonable deal. Hopefully not much more that the minimum.

    "Sources around the league" tell Bleacher Report's Jason Cole that free agent Michael Crabtree's market has "crashed."
    Cole's sources are just stating the obvious. Per Cole, Crabtree apparently believed he was going to make $9-$10 million per year before the start of last season. It would be a miracle for Crabtree to get even half that. The most likely outcome is Crabtree accepting $2-$3 million on a one-year, "prove-it" deal. To date, his lone visit has been to the Dolphins.

    For that price Crabby may be worth picking up.

    That's kind of what I was thinking. At this point he's not much more than depth, but he has a great personality and is a fan favorite so I'd love him being back for a minimum deal.
