Quote:
Before Sunday's games, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that the tea leaves point to 49ers Michael Crabtree re-entering the draft in 2010. FOX's Jay Glazer pointed to mixed signals regarding Crabtree's status.
We're now hearing that, after the 49ers went into Arizona and knocked off the defending NFC champs without Crabtree, the tenth overall pick in the draft is getting nervous.
We're told that 49ers players who spoke with Crabtree after the game detected anxiety on his part, and there's now a sense that he might be getting ready to take the offer that the 49ers have left on the table throughout training camp and the preseason.
Glazer suggested yesterday that the 49ers might begin to modify their offer, now that Crabtree is missing regular-season games. Though it remains to be seen whether the team takes this bold (but wise) step, we think that Crabtree will either break or harden his position to the point of a full-season holdout within the next week or so.

For me, I am just tired of all the back and forth reports...
He wants this, he wants that, might sit out for the year, will sit out for the year, might be ready to just take what the Niners are offering, is getting nervous and will take the offer soon..... Blah, blah, blah.....
Until I hear a solid word from Michael Crabtree himself or the 49er Brass, it's all hearsay to me...

My honest opinion on when and if Crabtree will sign is this...
I feel if a deal is going to get done it will be before the week 2 game. By now Crabtree has to realize that the 49ers are not going to budge on there offer. He probaly feels that even if he signed today he would not play week 1 anyway so why not just roll the dice and see if the 49ers change there stance after him missing a game (its his final and only hope). If the niners hold pat both hands are now totally face up. If he doesn't sign than I don't see it happening at all.
Thats just how I see it playing out. So I will give this thing a week 2 deadline.
I think Craptree will watch this weekend Arz game with a great deal of "selfish" interest. This dude is probablly pulling for the 9ers to "lose" so everyone will start up again on how much we need Craptree. However, if the 9ers Win, Craptree loses negotiating power. That's my take.
I don't really feel wins and losses or even an injury have anything to do with it at this point. I think the niners have offered what they are going to offer.
I'm with you. But in Craptree crazy little world, I bet he is hoping the 9ers lose this weekend as fan pressure will increase to sign him.
If 9ers lose, watch the fan base cry for Crabtree, and that is what Craptree is banking on. However, I agree with you, no matter what, the 9ers rightfully should not and will not give in to Craptree outrages money demand.
One more time... this may be closer to the truth, than you all think.
Told ya.... Craptree was waiting to see if the 9ers lose.
They WON.... and now Craptree clearly recognizes the 9ers don't have to sign him.
Are you seriously having a conversation with yourself?
What is seriously clear is YOU have an obsession with me...go away!
Is it seriously clear? I was going for murkily clear.
I agree.... you are clearly full of murkily!
ZING!!!
Thank Ya!!!

Interesting that hes supposedly getting nervous. i still want him to sign but at this point i care a heck of a lot more about the players actually playing and the games.

I sure like what Iron Mike had to say about Craptree during the close of today's news conference:
"That guy is over there. I have to worry about the guys here."
The more this team jells under Singletary's watch -- the more nervous Craptree is going to get. A little voice inside his head will get louder and louder. It might say something to the effect of he is missing out on something really special.

I believe no reports until one of the two Matts has reported it. They're the only ones you should trust. Ever.
