I wonder if the 49ers had not taken him at 10th overall and he had dropped to lest say the end of the first round would he still think he was worth 7th overall money? It was because of him being a diva that cost him to drop down to the 10th spot.
1. We get a trade with Dallas for their number 1 draft pick and number 3 draft pick from the 2010 draft. Jerry Jones takes the deal and during training camp he tears up his foot, ending his pro football career and taking all of his guaranteed millions from Jerry Jones and never plays a down in the NFL, and the 49ers get a pro bowl rookie..
or
2. Every team in the league sees this diva for what he is, a money grabbing idiot who doesn’t care about anything but himself. He then goes into the draft and does not even get picked. He then becomes a undrafted free agent.

If he reenters the draft only 31 teams are allowed pick him. The 49ers cannot draft him again. Rules forbid it.

Such BS, you were picked 10th, so you get paid like the 10th pick. Just bc you projected yourself as an earlier pick does not obligate the 49ers to pay you what you thought you should have made, thats life buddy, not everything is fair, and what makes it worse is give any of us that oppurtunity and wed take that money no questions asked

Cleveland had it right. Niners shouldn’t have picked him. Everyone else knew he was a jerk.

Let him reenter the draft…..he’ll either not be drafted because no one wants a bad boy or he’ll end up in Detroit or Oakland. SF doesn’t have that bad of a team…..come on Crabtree…get off your high horse and help your team or are you afraid you’re not as good as you think.

The funniest thing would be for the 49ers to pick him next year and offer him a take it or leave it contract that matches whatever Mr. Irrelevant gets.

the niners should let him go back into the draft…..and then pick his dumb ass up in the 5th round next year just to be assholes and get him for like 1.3 hahahaha

The funny thing would be if he re-enters the draft and nobody drafts him in the first round and then SF gets him in the 2nd round.

So, you think Crabtree will either break or harden his position. Way to take a stand.

Crabtree will come to terms this week and report to the team. The 49ers are not giving him any more money; why should they pay him more than the prescribe amount for the 10th overall draft pick?

Bigbluefan — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 16:28:14 +0000

They do not need him so let him sit and stew
Cut his offer in half and then in half again if he does not show up this week offer him no bonus or any thing for signing
That ship has sailed Screw you Craptree

Dear God I hope the 49′s really stick it to that idiot. What a damn fool!
Vick’s “friends” must have gone over to Crabtree’s party.

Glad AZ got out of that game w/o Crabtree. Even though I am a cards fan, I am also a football fan. I want to see this guy sign and play. As of today that is.
I figured that game would open his eyes. Niners are good. Better than Seattle, and if AZ does not win the division, Niners will.
I am originally from Stockton, so the Raiders and Niners still hold a place in my football heart.

Let him sit.

This is what an unconstrained ego coupled with a serious streak of stubbornness does to you. You gotta wonder what type of point he’s trying to make. That he’s the biggest baby in the league? That he’s willing to lose millions of dollars because he’s an idiot? Maybe when he’s all grown up he’ll look back at this and think “man I was messed up, why didn’t anyone say something?”. But of course they did and he’s too stupid to realize it. If I were a GM or coach I’d have big reservations about bringing this level of headcase on the roster. Just unbelievable.

I do not blame him for wanting to get the best deal that he can. If this meant holding out a bit and trying to apply pressure to the 9er’s then so be it.
I do not see a ton of loyalty from the teams to their players. Look at what MN did to Bobby Wade. First he agrees to cut his salary in half, and still gets cut. NFL teams do not in any way honor their contracts. So who can blame a guy for wanting to get the best deal possible and get the most guaranteed money he can.
That being said, Crabtree and / or his agent are complete idiots. Clearly this situation is not going to get any better for them, and could very easily get worse. They tried to play hardball and force SF in to paying more. I just do not think it is going to happen, and Crabtree should be running to the table to sign this deal while it is still on the board.
As mentioned above I would not blame the 9er’s for reducing the contract, and if he decided to reenter the draft he is going to lose millions. If I had to guess I bet he gets that signature down sooner then later. there is no way he reenters the draft next year.

If I were the niners I would cut the offer in half and say take this or have fun being a 2nd round pick next year and getting next to nothing guaranteed. This guy is a joke I hope he has a similar career path as Mike Williams

JoeBagels. Crabtree was not a 10th round draft pick, he was the 10th overall draft pick. I don’t think he’d be asking for 10th round money since, there really isn’t a demand for 10th round players in the NFL.
That being said, please, restructure the offer, Crabtree is a douche.

Thank you M.Crabtree for donating your career in the NFL for the purpose of getting Goodell to take this issue seriously and cap the rookies! Thanks again, it must have cost you a fortune.

Since the niners beat the Cards the power shifts even more to the team’s side. If anything they should back-off a little in the guaranteed money and offer him less.

Give him nothing! You have your roster and just move on. If you bring him in now it will just be a drain on the coaches and team because he will constantly be behind with the terminology.

Screw Crabgreed. Let his idiotic self re-enter the draft next year. He’ll do absolutely nothing for us this year, anyway. He’s going to cry like the baby he is anytime Sing gets on him at practice or in a game.

screw that guy. can’t they just cut him?
cut your losses and move on.
the only time I’m ever reminded of that turd is when I about him on this site.
