Crabtree agreed to a contract with the Saints on Tuesday.

Crabtree has shuffled back and forth between the Saints' roster and the free agent list the last couple weeks, but he is back on the roster for now.

Crabtree was released by the Saints on Saturday, NFL.com reports.

Running back Edwin Baker was promoted from the practice squad to take Crabtree's spot on the active roster. It marks the second time in the past eight days Crabtree has been released by New Orleans.

The Saints have re-signed Crabtree, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Crabtree rejoins the Saints' depth TE mix in advance of Sunday's game against his former team, the Packers, but he's off the fantasy radar, with Jimmy Graham back in the New Orleans lineup.

Crabtree was released by the Saints on Saturday, NFL.com reports.

This could be a sign that Jimmy Graham (shoulder) is headed for active status Sunday against the Lions, but it's possible the Saints just weren't going to activate Crabtree anyway. Regardless, Crabtree is once again without a job, and he likely won't draw much interest as a free agent after catching just four passes in seven games with Tampa Bay last season.

Crabtree signed with the Saints on Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of the Times-Picayune reports.

The Saints had a roster spot open up with Jarius Byrd (knee) landing on IR, so they went ahead and added Crabtree for depth at the tight end position. Jimmy Graham's shoulder injury is not believed to be serious, however, and the team also has Ben Watson and Josh Hill, so it's hard to imagine Crabtree taking on a prominent role at any point this season.

Free agent TE Tom Crabtree will work out for the Giants next week.

The Giants have one of the league's more unsettled tight end corps, but Crabtree would be a pure reserve. He caught only four passes in seven games for the Bucs last season before landing on injured reserve with a torn biceps.

Buccaneers released TE Tom Crabtree.

The writing was on the wall for Crabtree after the Bucs signed Brandon Myers and drafted Austin Seferian-Jenkins. Signed from Green Bay last offseason, Crabtree caught only four passes in seven games with Tampa Bay before being placed on injured reserve with a torn bicep. Crabtree has never developed a pass catching threat and was not a particularly successful blocker in 2013. He may struggle to latch on with another team.

Bucs TE Tom Crabtree has been diagnosed with a torn biceps, and is done for the season.

The reserve suffered the injury in Sunday's win over the Lions. Crabtree was viewed as a nice-under-the-radar signing when the Bucs lured him away from Green Bay, but he did little more than block his first year in Tampa Bay. Crabtree finishes 2013 with four catches for 21 yards. He's signed for an affordable $750,000 in 2014, but there's no guarantee he'll be back.

Bucs TE Tom Crabtree (ankle) is practicing Wednesday.

Crabtree has been sidelined since the preseason finale with a high-ankle sprain, but is "hopeful" of making his 2013 debut Sunday. He'll immediately his starting job if active this week. A blocking tight end, Crabtree isn't on the fantasy radar.

Bucs TE Tom Crabtree (ankle) practiced Monday, and is "hopeful" of making his 2013 debut Sunday.

The Bucs' starting tight end has been sidelined since the preseason finale with a high-ankle sprain. Tampa has been forced to mix-and-match with waiver-wire talents in Crabtree's absence. The former Packer will be a low-end TE2 whenever he finally gets back on the field.

Bucs declared TE Tom Crabtree, G Carl Nicks, QB Dan Orlovsky, CB Rashaan Melvin, FB Erik Lorig, DT William Gholston, and DT Chris Jones inactive for Week 1 against the Jets.

Crabtree is out indefinitely with a high ankle sprain.

Bucs TE Tom Crabtree has been diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain, and is out indefinitely.

Crabtree had to be carted off the field in Thursday's preseason finale. Beat writer Rick Stroud terms the sprain as "severe," suggesting Crabtree could miss all of September. The injury further thins one of the league's weaker tight end corps. The Bucs should be monitoring the waiver wire for help. Luke Stocker will start Week 1.

Updating a previous item, X-rays on Bucs TE Tom Crabtree's left ankle came back negative.

Crabtree was carted off the field during Thursday night's preseason finale. All this confirms is that the ankle isn't broken. He's likely dealing with at least a high-ankle sprain. Luke Stocker is the favorite to start Week 1.

Bucs TE Tom Crabtree was carted off the field with a left ankle injury during Thursday night's preseason finale.

Crabtree is vying for the starting job with Luke Stocker. He's also been playing some fullback this summer. The Bucs have arguably the weakest tight end depth chart in the league, so any amount of time missed by Crabtree will be felt.

Bucs agreed to terms with TE Tom Crabtree, formerly of the Packers.

A restricted free agent, the Packers wanted Crabtree back, but rolled the dice they could sign him for less than the $1.32 million low tender. They were wrong. The Pack have always been high on Crabtree's talent, but to date he's mostly blocked. He has just 18 catches in 46 career games. Crabtree could momentarily vault to the top of Tampa's barren tight end corps, but it remains a position of need.

Packers declined to tender TE Tom Crabtree, LB Rob Francois, and OLB Frank Zombo, making all three unrestricted free agents.

The Packers would like to have Crabtree and Francois back, but didn't deem either worthy of the low restricted free agent cost ($1.323 million). Their interest in retaining Zombo is "uncertain." Crabtree is a useful blocker. Green Bay may step up efforts to re-sign him if it parts with Jermichael Finley.

Packers TE Tom Crabtree was forced from Sunday's game in the fourth quarter with a hamstring injury.

Green Bay's No. 2 tight end is questionable to return.

Packers TE Tom Crabtree caught one pass -- good for a 72-yard touchdown -- in Green Bay's Week 9 win over Arizona.

Aaron Rodgers found Crabtree wide open for the 72-yard catch-and-run score in the fourth quarter. Mostly a blocking tight end, Crabtree has just six receptions all season. Leave him on waivers during Green Bay's Week 10 bye.

Tom Crabtree caught two passes for 62 yards and a touchdown in Green Bay's Week 6 win over Houston.

Crabtree found himself completely wide open on a fluky 48-yard score in the third quarter of Green Bay's 42-24 blowout win. The touchdown was his second of the season, but with just five catches in six games, bigger days don't appear to be on the horizon.

Packers TE Tom Crabtree confirmed that he almost always blocks when he's in the game.

The Packers clearly fooled the Eagles on Crabtree's 7-yard touchdown in the first quarter Sunday. It was Crabtree's first career touchdown after catching just four passes all season.
