Michael Crabtree thought he should have been drafted top three, we get it. The other 9 teams before the niners, obviously thought differently. Now, thanks to some greedy thinking from his agent, Crabtree wants top pick money or he will sit out the season and re-enter the 2010 draft.
Fuck the heck is he thinking??
So, you are ditching millions of dollars in guaranteed money for the CHANCE that you would get picked above where you are right now, even though you wont be playing the whole year? Are you fucking bat shit crazy? Why would you even consider this? Even though the draft pick signing honor system is ridiculous, its still a widely accepted system to prevent situations like this.
Per pro football talk this whole thing may be an agenda put on by Crabtree’s advisor to get things done the way he wants in the future, but in reality, its damaged (possibly destroyed) any positive feelings the niners had towards Crabtree.
When it comes to the cards, this could also damage just about any chances that Crabtree has of maintaining any value headway he has made. Bad for us. I know I had high hopes for his potential, but now I just see another possible Maurice Clarett type draft dilemma.
Although I know the Niners will probably cave in some what, but the damage is done. Too bad for that.
