The dude simply will not accept he he drafted in the 10 spot.... what a freak'en knocklehead!
This just shows his immaturity. To think there are some people on this board who think throwing money at him is going to help.

Exactly. When he signs, some fans are gonna be hard on him. Once he makes a reception, they'll warm up to him. Once he scores his first TD, they'll be chanting his name. His first 1,000 yard season, they'll forget about the holdout.

Just like with Terrel Owens, am I right?
I like touchdowns and winning, however I so far loathe every aspect of this man's character.

No cash flow problem for Crabtree
If Michael Crabtree doesn't sign his contract by the time the first game checks are handed out late next week, he'll start losing money. But it's not as if the rookie wide receiver doesn't have a bit of change in his pocket already. After the college season, Crabtree was perhaps the most popular player heading into the draft - USC quarterback Mark Sanchez was his only competition in that regard - and he signed a number of endorsement deals at the time.
Among them were deals with EA Sports, Subway, Nike's Jordan Brand sneakers, three trading card companies and MogoTXT. Interestingly, that last deal requires Crabtree to update his followers with occasional messages. His latest, on Aug. 24:
MichaelCrabtree:Hey peps just hollaring at u i am still working hard getting stronger and faster oh yea i am ready to go so i can put on a show 4 ya
Sent 3:05:30 PM Mon Aug 24 '09
The post before that one may be more meaningful because it came on Aug. 7, a day after reports surfaced that Crabtree was threatening to sit out the entire season and re-enter the 2010 draft.

Crabtree also has money heading his way from jersey sales. According to Darren Rovell of CNBC.com, a look at NFL jersey sales from the first four months of the fiscal year shows that Crabtree's No. 15 jersey ranks 20th in the league. Among rookies, he is only behind Sanchez, a starter for the Jets. NFL players get about 6 percent every time their jersey is sold.
Rovell does note that the fact that Crabtree hasn't signed is hurting jersey sales. Crabtree was ranked No. 8 in sales in early August. It's also hard to see Crabtree signing any new deals considering he has yet to even practice with the 49ers. Still, one of his marketing managers, Peter Miller of Jabez Marketing Group, said that rookies typically don't have a lot of endorsement opportunities at the beginning of the season anyway. "That's when they're concentrating on football," Miller said. "I don't think we ever had a plan to do anything in August."

I recall a poster named.....oh, yeah, it was me...talking about this a couple weeks ago. He has the means to not sign the contract.

actually another poster mentioned that he had already signed some endorsment deals and had money and that he didn't need to sign this year because it is not like he is hurting for cash. They you came in behind him a few weeks later and just repeated what he said and now are trying to use it to make yourself feel all high and mighty. Hope it helps out your self esteem

I'd sweeten the deal and give him McCloughan's job.

Although, many of those endorsements contracts might be predicated on him actually playing in the NFL. What is the value of a malcontent, greedy, non-performer (which Crabtree would be if he sits out) from an endorsement perspective?
I could see that money drying up quickly too...

I'm not a big fan of McCloughan. I blame him for this mess anyway.
