Came across an interesting story on SI.com about Eugene Parker, the agent who represents the holdout Michael Crabtree and the not-yet-reported Richard Seymour.

Parker is proving himself to be toxic as far as agents go. He makes Drew Rosenhaus and Scott Borus look good.

Im starting to think that its more Crabtree than the agent.
its 50/50 imo
There is speculation that parker promised crabtree to get drafted in the top 5 and if not to get paid like a top 5 guy.
That isnt happening.
Parker can get a deal done for the slot money (tyson jackson) but not more...

Its Crabtree. Parker will lose a lot of respect with the owners and lose future clients if Crabtree sits out the season.

This is on Crabtree not Parker. If Crabtree wanted to sing all he has to do is say so

This on Craptree if he really wanted to play he would tell his agent to get the deal done.

At this point I fully agree that it is more Crabtree then Parker. Why would Parker want Crabtree to hold out and enter the draft next year that would cost both Parker and the player a lot of cash.

Numbers don't lie. Only one of Parker's last 18 1st rounders have reported to camp on time.
