why unsure? could be a blessing to getting a deal done

I agree. If Crab wants to sign the deal the 49ers offered and save face, this is one way of doing it.

yea i would love to see him dump parker and get this over with. i hope pfc is right.

who would be an ideal agent for Crabs?

Watch, he'll fire Parker and get our hopes up that he's ready to sign. Then....he introduces Deon "Must be the Money" Sanders as his agent. Then I kill myself.

Take that back dont you say that

From Matt M's Twitter:

Michael Crabtree has locker - w/ jersey and helmet (no logo) -- between Jason Hill & Isaac Bruce. Still no indication he's ready to sign.

Was the locker there before? In the sense, was the locker there before with his jersey and helmet?

He would have Crabtree sitting in his driveway doing sit ups and push ups and talking to the media.

Next Question.....

He was really dissapointed about the offer. He thinks he's worth more. He said screw it, I'll just wait until the last day. He's still going to get guaranteed money. He'll get the same amount of money if he signed weeks ago or if he signs Saturday. This way it will keep people guessing for a long time, and he thought there was a slim chance they'd up the offer if he waited it out. And since he thinks he's going to be underpaid, he doesn't care that he's missing practice and he won't be a factor for a couple of games. Hell, he'll get his money. He thinks he's "punishing" the 49ers by sitting out now, because he thinks he is getting low-balled.



This all of course is my own personal opinion.

Good opinion. I could see that.

My belief is this is the only way this moves along and he signs. Parker can not cave. That looks bad for his future getting top players to bargain for. Crabtree needs to get it done and will sign for what is offered now. He can blame the agent for the whole mess and Parker can say it was the 9ers. Since Crabs can't hire an agent for,( I think, please verify) 24 hours. I see Friday, maybe ?

IMO

Drew's clients do not have a history of holding out.

I've been hard on Crabs....but the 49ers bear apart of the blame. I mean we have over paid for players in the past that hasn't done squat to help this team. They have the ability to up the offer....at least be able to meet in the middle....and to go weeks...damn near a month without any contact is idiotic............OH FOOLISH PRIDE!

Oh well.

"Overpaying" for players with a proven NFL track record is one thing. Overpaying for a 22 year old sophomore is entirely different.

Truthfully I don't even understand why fans care about that(It's NOT YOUR MONEY).....I do believe our track record for first round picks haven't been that great....with the exception of Willis and Peterson. We drafted VD #6 overall....was he worth that?? IMO No.

Regardless of what people say....this kid is talented and will be a #1 WR in this leauge. I understand people are upset but if you take the emotion away you will see this is a no win situation for either party. THE TEAM has spoken out and said Crabtree will sign so I would think there doing everything in there power to make it so.......just my thoughts.

yes it’s not our money but do you remember how life was in salary cap hell.. it took this franchise like 3 years (and getting reed of very good players Jeff, Deese, Hearst, Newberry, amongst others) to get a well balance cap and we fans don’t want to go back to the days were one player thinks he need 10 more millions of what everybody knows he should earn and just pay him because he think he is a star... then every time the team negotiate a contract every agent will want millions more of what they actually are worth...

no way pay him what the slot said and then in a few years if he is all he said he is pay him like a star….

gi niners

We got that way by Overpaying Free agents (We bought the 94 superbowl, fan weren't complaining then)and not building through the draft. Our approach has changed and that's why were not going to be back in salary cap hell. It has nothing to do with overpaying draft picks.....and I'm not saying it has to be that drastic...but for god sakes man they can budge a little....they can continue to push for communication....I agree Crabs is getting bad advice....but that doesn't take away from his abilities.

I get what you are saying but the problem is that if we do this for crabtree every draft pick and free agent will try to do the same to us and negosiating with players and even extending our own players will be very difficult.. its better to let that door close (and let crabtree know that he will earn his money if he produces) or its a matter of time when we will be back in SCH again...

go niner

Could this have any bearing on to what has happened over the weekend into this week?

"The source explains that there's a chance that agent Eugene Parker led Seymour to believe that the talks toward a new deal had progressed farther than they actually had. Either way, the fact that Seymour went from thinking he was going to sign a retirement deal with the Patriots to learning that he'd been sent to the Raiders has contributed in large part to the confusion and frustration that has kept him from reporting to work at his new place of employment."--Profootballtalk.com

I know it is a Raider issue, but Parker is at the root of this question. Did Parker frick up Seymour's ability to get a new contract? As a result, did this shed light to the rumor that Crabtree is lookin' for a new agent?

Parker looks a lot worse if he sits out the year. It shows both the NFL teams and future clients that he could not deliver.
