Parker has no sense of urgency on Crabtree

(WR - sf) | 0 comments.
Michael Crabtree, who left the Bay Area a couple of weeks ago, is now working out in the Orlando area. And there's a perception that agent Eugene Parker now has zero sense of urgency to resolve the contract impasse, according to Pro Football Talk.
Our View: Both sides are hunkered down in their positions, and Crabtree will be required to sit out the entire 2009 season if a contract doesn't get signed by November 17.

49ers File Tampering Charges With League Office
The Jets' long-running pursuit of a high-profile wide receiver could land them in hot water with the NFL.The 49ers, embroiled in an acrimonious contract dispute with rookie receiver Michael Crabtree, have filed tampering charges against the Jets, sources told the Daily News. The Jets, through a team spokesman, denied the allegations. Although the specifics aren't known, it's not hard to connect the dots. Crabtree, the 10th overall pick in the draft, is threatening to sit out the season and reenter the draft in 2010. The 49ers may believe the Jets contacted Crabtree's agent, Eugene Parker, to let him know they'd be interested in trading for his rights, or in drafting him in 2010 with a better salary than the 49ers are offering. The NFL's trade deadline is Oct.20, while the 49ers must either sign Crabtree by Nov.19, or surrender his rights, putting him back into the draft pool for 2010. Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum, approached after yesterday's 16-9 win over the Patriots, declined to comment. (NY Daily News)
FF Today's Take: These charges are serious and will be investigated by the league. Fantasy owners should not expect to see Crabtree on the field any time soon.

Our View: Maybe York thinks he can persuade Crabtree and Parker to take the deal that is on the table if he speaks to them face-to-face. We doubt it, although it has been rumored that the Niners may be getting close to caving to the receiver's demands. We will continue to monitor the situation going forward, and we will let you know if anything changes.

Niners would hold onto Crabtree's rights until 2010 draft
Source (fanball.com)

The San Francisco Chronicle points out that 49ers' rookie Michael Crabtree would not be able to work out for teams prior to the 2010 draft if he decides to sit out this season. The team will retain his rights until draft day, so he will be be able to participate in any pre-draft activities.
Our View: Crabtree is almost guaranteed to drop well below his slot if he sits this season out, which makes you wonder why he would even consider it. He won't be allowed to talk to or work out for anyone before the draft, and after this season it wouldn't make sense for anyone to use a high pick on him. The Niners hold all the cards here, and Crabtree needs to realize that before he ruins his career before it even gets started.

At this time -- and that's an important distinction to be made -- there is every expectation that former Texas Tech wide receiver Michael Crabtree will not sign with the San Francisco 49ers and instead will sit out this season and reenter the draft in April, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Our View: The report cites multiple sources out of the Bay Area, and also states the 49ers still want Crabtree, they still think he can make an impact, it's just that no one in the organization can now envision a way in which it would happen. We think the young man is making a big mistake, as he will never be able recoup the money currently on the table, and sitting out an entire season has rarely yielded positive results in the past.

According to ESPN.com, puzzling wideout Michael Crabtree has already decided that he won't sign at the price the 49ers are prepared to offer him.
Our View: The Niners are offering 10th pick money, a five-year $20 million deal that maxes out at $26.5 million, but Crabtree isn't interested. He feels he deserves more money regardless of where he was drafted, even though he's never appeared in a professional football game. He's willing to sit out the entire season, and if one side doesn't budge, that's exactly what he'll do. Looks like greed trumps the love of the game.

49ers not concerned about Crabtree

(WR - sf) | 0 comments.
News: Michael Crabtree is all but forgotten around the San Francisco 49ers these days. Coach Mike Singletary has been saying since the start he can't worry about Crabtree's unsigned contract. Now that the 49ers are days away from opening the regular season Sunday at Arizona, perhaps Crabtree should be the one concerned. He's not even a focus anymore, barely mentioned at team headquarters. He's so far behind that his rookie season could be lost even if he does finally show up for practice and pull on his No. 15 jersey -- or at least his impact might be significantly less than had he reported on time. "I thought I'd see Crabtree by now, but he's not here," tight end Vernon Davis said Wednesday. "He could help the team out, but he's not here and we have to move forward. We can't wait." [...]

49ers | Dilfer works out with Crabtree
Matthew Barrows, of the Sacramento Bee, reports former NFL QB Trent Dilfer recently worked out with San Francisco 49ers first-round draft choice WR Michael Crabtree because Crabtree wanted to work with an actual quarterback and not catch passes from a machine. Dilfer said Crabtree is completely healthy and is in the San Francisco area waiting to sign with the 49ers.

Crabtree getting crazier

(WR - sf) | 1 comments.
A "source close to" mercurial 49ers rookie Michael Crabtree said on Tuesday that he is "weird enough that he just might do it" when asked if Crabtree might actually holdout the entire 2009 NFL season and re-enter the draft next year, according to Yahoo! Sports.
Our View: Even though the 49ers remain optimistic he will sign at some point since they believe a holdout "defies all logic," Crabtree will have no fantasy value this season even if he does sign since he will no doubt be in coach Mike Singletary's doghouse and amazingly far behind on learning the team's system.
