Here are some key quotes from the interview that may interest 49ers fans.
"A lot of people don't know that the Niners offered me a contract, I just didn't take it," Crabtree said. "I wanted a fresh start. It was more money too — the Niners offered me more money than anybody did — but business is business and I wanted to come to a team that really wanted and needed me."
He even took a little shot at his former quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, without even mentioning his name.
"I needed new scenery. It wasn't for me," Crabtree said. "I needed a quarterback that can deliver the ball, and that was hungry like I was."
And what does Crabtree think of the 49ers' bizarre offseason?
"With all the stuff going on on the other side, it just feels so good to be on this side."
