It still amazes me...week 2 is almost up on us and he's still unsigned.

SANTA CLARA, Calif.—San Francisco 49ers president Jed York says the team would like a face-to-face meeting with top draft pick Michael Crabtree. The 49ers selected the former Texas Tech receiver with the 10th pick in this year's draft but haven't been able to sign him.
York tells KNBR radio on Tuesday night that an offer had been made to meet with Crabtree but he hasn't heard back from his agent, Eugene Parker.
Coach Mike Singletary acknowledged Monday the 49ers had discussed changing their offer to Crabtree.
Crabtree, who turned 22 on Monday, hasn't accepted the 49ers' offer for approximately five years and $20 million with a reported $16 million guaranteed—instead seeking money comparable to the higher picks.Comment -
If the 10th pick refuses to sign for $16 million guaranteed then something is seriously wrong with the draft system.Originally posted by pags11Originally posted by BuddyBearOriginally posted by curiousComment -
I hope he goes unsigned and never gets close to 16 ever again.Comment -
As JJ would say, blacks aren't that smart.Comment -
Every time I see his name it pisses me off...was pretty stoked the Niners got him at #10. What a dumb f*ckhead...just costing himself money by pulling this shit. No way in hell he gets that next year if he sits out...also puts him 1 yr further away from his next money contract as a FA. ****ing tard.

Crabtree needs a sit down with Mike Williams (USC) and Maurice Clarett (inmate #498633).Comment -
what a jokeComment -
20 mil to be on an absolute shit team for the next 5 years... throw the kid 5-10 more mil and he might make them a playoff team.Comment -
so next year, he gets drafted at pick 16 and gets only 10 million.

Crabtree needs to fire his agent and sign a contract. He will not get more than the #9 pick. Too bad if the Raiders reached and took Heyward-Bey way too high. Would love if the 49ers says here is the contract today, next week it goes down, then it goes down again the week after, etc... He will be basically worthless this year if he signs so I hope he tries to sit out and reenter the draft. He won't be a 1st round pick next year if he pulls this shit and will receive a fraction he would as the #10 pick this year.Comment -
If it wasnt for football, he'd prolly be selling crack or trying to rap. How can he say 16 mil isnt enough??? WowComment -
jeres a guy with all the potential in the world in football and now hes just a cancer who is screwing up his career ..hope he doesnt even make it in yhe nfl and get a 9-5 jobOriginally posted by purecarnaggeComment -
If history is any indication, someone will kiss his ass and his idiotic behavior will end up paying off.Comment -
He needs to get over the fact that he WAS NOT this #1 WR taken, shut up and play.
Earn your money.Comment -
Greedy ****erComment -
Some dude named Bo Jackson was drafted #1 overall by Tampa Bay and rejected millions to go play baseball.Comment -
He needs to fire his agent ....it's about playing not talking

Really the guy would be a great candidate for a executive job in the banking industry.Comment -
Unfortunately for Crabtree he doesn't have that option. Only thing he's qualified to do is flip burgers at McDonald's and that might be too much for him to handle. He needs to realize that as a #10 pick he contract will be somewhere between the #9 pick and #11, not to hard to figure out.Originally posted by daggerkobeComment -
He's already a millionaire from endorsement deals so he wont be flipping burgers anytime soon.
He and his agent may be unreasonable but he's got all the leverage. He can sit out the season and re-enter the draft next season. Im sure there's a team thats willing to dole out the cash for a WR of his talent.Comment -

He's got some endorsements, but they will dry up if he tries to sit out for the year. He's got no leverage as he is basically worthless this season not being in camp/games and he can't work out for any team or go to any combines since the 49ers have his rights. If he reenters the draft he will be picked way later, probably not in the 1st round. I'm guessing he will sign soon, just a gut feeling since his agent and Crabtree can't be this stupid.Originally posted by daggerkobeComment -
Well Kelly Stouffer sat out a year after the Cards drafted him and got pretty much what he wanted from the Seahawks.
Even if Crabtree sits out a year he will be a clear 1st rd pick next year. He was by far the best WR in college last season and lots of NFL teams are in need of a top receiver.
Heck, even Mike Williams sat out a year and was drafted high even tho he wasnt as talented.Comment -
I can't imagine his value is going to go up after this. I also can't imagine he will go higher next year. I wouldn't want to sign him anyway because if he does play moderately well we will just see him do another holdout in a year. He's not gods gift to football, and he isn't even that fast to begin with.Comment -
Actually, a funny story about that. Supposedly, Bo demanded a trade from Tampa because Hugh Culverhouse, the owner at the time, pulled Bo aside and told him that he wasn't allowed to date any white women while he was on 'his' team.Originally posted by daggerkobe
As for Crabtree, if he goes back into the draft the niners should sue him for the loss of that first round pick. I'm sure that they could get an attorney to say that the loss of that pick caused them to not win as many games, as a result, losing revenue. He may get paid, but he won't be able to enjoy the money.Comment -
What team wants to deal with someone with an inflated self-value? If he gets drafted in the #10 slot (or worse), will he still insist on more money because he "should" have been drafted earlier a year earlier?Originally posted by daggerkobeComment -
It always deeply saddens me when someone from Tortilla Tech is so maligned by the media and fans like Crabtree. Stick to your guns, Michael, you go on with your bad self. Don't listen to the haters, young man, you hold out all year and next year and the year after that if you're sure it's the right thing to do.
Comment -
Who brainwashes these guys to apply this fukked up logic? Is his agent really trying to convince people that since he SHOULD have been drafted higher he deserves that money? This is ridiculous and clearly illustrates what is wrong with the NFL. You have guys who are PROVEN veterans fighting to get guaranteed money but you are going to reward this prick with an inflated contract before he has even been hit by an NFL player?
Not surprising his agent is black too...Comment -
I hope Crabtree goes undrafted next year. Being out a year in football is alot. Just look at Vick he's been out 2 years and doesn't look that good.Comment -
yea tell him willie stick to your guns young man !! He May be better at holding out than player-in !!!!!!!!Originally posted by Willie BeeIt always deeply saddens me when someone from Tortilla Tech is so maligned by the media and fans like Crabtree.

Not sure on the endorsement gigs. They usually come with strings like you actually make an NFL team.Originally posted by daggerkobe
If he re enters the draft he will for sure fall lower than 10th. Most likely to the 20"s or worse. He will never see $16 million type numbers again. A shame ...Comment
