York left the talks (scooting past Maiocco without comment), then logged onto the web, and read one particular Maiocco item: That Crabtree was overheard telling MC Hammer to “get it done.”
Right after reading that, York checked in with his negotiators and heard that Crabtree’s people were asking for a few more things.
With the knowledge of what Crabtree told Hammer, and believing that Maiocco had captured the essence of Crabtree’s desire to sign, York told his guys not to bend.
And Crabtree agreed to the deal, as previously constructed, thanks to the 49ers holding the line and Maiocco’s Tweet.
so Crabtree caved in?

This is sure what it sounds like. York is mad shrewd to be eavesdropping on fools in East Palo Alto, the thought of that cracks me up a little bit. The kid just wanted to play football, bottom line.

While Jed's eavesdropping may have been a shrewd move, going public with it was not! Do you think it will help with future negotiations with Crabtree... or others?!
