For wide receiver Michael Crabtree , times were much different just this time last season.

In Week 4 of the 2018 season, Crabtree was playing in a Sunday Night Football game. He was caught in the middle of the greatest football rivalry as the Ravens faced off with the Steelers. He was catching passes from Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco

Fast forward a year later and man, how the tables have turned.

The Cardinals announced the release of Crabtree on Monday, ending his brief tenure in Arizona. In just two game appearances, Crabtree caught just four passes for 22 yards.

After signing a three-year, $21 million contract with the Ravens in 2018, Crabtree is once again on the market. The incredible depth at the wide receiver position in Arizona impacted the Cardinals’ decision to part ways.

As a Raven, Crabtree started all 16 games while catching 54 receptions and three touchdowns.

A reunion in Baltimore is highly unlikely, but Crabtree’s veteran presence can help a playoff contender in 2019.
