Crabtree's best year came in 2012, when he had 1,105 yards on 85 receptions. He missed most of the 2013 season due to a torn Achilles. 

KING: HOF light on safeties in numbers

Crabtree will join James Jones, Andre Holmes, Kenbrell Thompkins and Brice Butler as receivers in Oakland.

For the 49ers, Crabtree joins Patrick Willis and former coach Jim Harbaugh as departures from the team that made three straight NFC championship games from 2011-2013. Linebacker Chris Borland also retired this offseason.
