You should burn it.

Quote:
In the meantime, Crabtree has been staying and working out in the Bay Area. His father, Michael Sr., said his son was “just working to get bigger, stronger and faster.” The elder Crabtree, who said his son recently spent a day catching passes from former NFL quarterback Trent Dilfer, declined to talk about the contract.

Ask the Commissioner

Regarding the whole Deion Sanders/Michael Crabtree fiasco - The 49ers say they haven't been contacted by any teams regarding Crabtree, but Deion says he knows of two teams who would for sure give Crabtree $40 million. Who are these two teams and why are they making offers to a player, his agent or representatives directly when the 49ers are the only ones who can negotiate with him?

Commissioner Roger Goodell, NFL.com
This is not tampering, but it may be a conflict of interest. It is not permissible for other teams to get involved or express an interest in signing Michael Crabtree. This negotiation should be between the player and the 49ers and hopefully they will find a resolution so Michael can begin his NFL career as soon as possible.

Further on in the article is says two teams told Crabtree they would take him next year in round 1. Now, I know he's not under contract but I'm 99.9% sure that since we have his rights we therefore have exclusivity in negotiating with the player; thus, we were tampered with and its f'n BS if we don't go after the teams especially after what happened to us with Briggs.

I, however, did draw some positives from the article. Next year's WR class will be better this year's and, moreover, it states that Crabtree is living and working out in the South Bay, leading me to believe that he ultimately will play for the 49ers. I'm guessing we will see no movement until this weekend as he'll holdout as long as possible in a (probably) futile attempt to squeeze more $$$$$ from the FO, before caving in and taking the 16-20$ mil guaranteed.

Besides, if his true desire is cash, then its in his best interests to sign this deal now and have FA come one year quicker. Moreover, there is a precedent to sign our strong-performing young players to long-term and lucrative extensions before their first deals expire--see Gore and Staley. If Crabs is truly as great as he believes/says he is, then he should have no trouble securing a massive extension in few years.

It would be the same situation if the raiders contacted Sanchez and told him, "Its too bad you were picked by the jets. We would have paid you more than Matt got from the lions. Maybe if you tell them you want that much they would have to trade you. Or even if you hold out the whole season, we will give you that next year." This is tampering.

It could be that these mystery teams are just straight up lies produced by the Crabtree camp as a last ditch effort to have the Niners up their offer.

Maybe that's why the league isn't doing anything or planning on doing anything. It could be because the real people in the know, know that it's all BS.

The care level on this douche bag is way down.

I love it

Why not a peep from the 49ers on this tampering issue?

An NFL employee goes on national TV and says that he and Crabtree know that there are two teams out there who would pay and trade for him? Multilple sources are coming out of the woodwork wtih tales of teams looking to trade for him etc?


Like PFT said.... Why aren't the 49ers LIVID about all this noise?

If I'm York, or our so called football orcale Parragg, I'm on the phone with Goodell looking for some F-ing answers. Why the hell isn't the NFL asking F-ing Deion who his source is?

This seems like a weak team with a weak front office getting the shaft.
