GET ANGRY PEOPLE!!!!!! RALLY!!!
I can't speak for other people, but I am rather frustrated with the situation. Crabtree has no leverage in this negotiation. None what-so-ever.
In a previous post, I laid out my thoughts on why Crabtree will not be drafted in the top 10 of next daft. He stands to lose millions of dollars if he carries through with his threat to sit out the season.
Let's say he is drafted with the #20 pick. The 20th pick received $9.4M guaranteed this past season. Assuming a generous increase of 15%, the 20th pick will be worth around $11M next season. If this scenario holds true, Crabtree will lose $5M in guaranteed money.
It's frustrating watching a young man hurt his career like Crabtree is doing now.
