The NFL Network's Deion Sanders, who - in his playing days - was represented by the same agent as Crabtree, Eugene Parker, said two teams contacted the 49ers about trading for the wide receiver. The timing of Sanders' claim was ridiculous because the trading deadline for the rights to rookies already had passed.

The 49ers responded by saying no conversations with other teams occurred. A 49ers spokesman said the club had no comment about whether it might pursue tampering charges against the two teams that Sanders, technically an employee of the NFL, said had expressed an interest in Crabtree. That is, if the teams actually did contact Crabtree.

Al Davis called out Deion???

What did he say?

It was during the Richard Seymour introduction news conference. Al basically called Sanders a disgruntled employee with out a shred of credibility.

You know things are bad for you when a crazy man like Al calls you out

I don't think the 49ers have any intentions on signing the guy at this point. I believe they want to save their money for next year (unless Crabtree totally caves), and try again with a different WR pick. Crabtree would be a total nonfactor this year if signed now. And since the 49ers are a run first, pass later type of offense, they probably feel like they can wait another year to find a WR to develop for the long term.

I don't think that the Niners just realized that they were a run first, pass later kind of team. If we didn't want to spend big money on a receiver, we wouldn't have drafted him in the first place.

We drafted BPA, and Crabs was the BPA at # 10.

Insane greedy POS! Plain and simple!

can this one of those threads where it gets locked until either Crabtree signs or we get official word from Crabtree or Parker that they are sitting out and entering the draft next year

Please

Why the hell should we all lose a thread in here ...... when it would be so much simpler for you to just quit poking your nose inside.

Don't pay him. He'll learn his lesson the hard way. And lose out on 15 mill guaranteed like an idiot.

If he wants to sit out the entire season and re-enter the draft, i say let him. He won't get picked till the 2nd round, if that. And then he'll look like a dumbass and get paid somewhere in the $500,000 range.

Diva.................tough to lose a number 1 pick................but this guy is a nut job.....................how about doing something first to justify wanting more than anyone else

Maybe Al Davis was one of the people Deion was talking about and Davis was just trying to cover his own ass.

The problem with trading Crabtree next year, is I am not sure if the 49ers will have any takers. It would make sense that the 49ers could trade Crabtree for a 2nd round pick (talentwise), however that team would then have the same problem that the 49ers have - do they really think that Crabtree is worth a 30 million dollar contract? They would do better just drafting Crabtree with their 2nd round pick, and use the fact that every team passed on him to humble him enough to accept less money.

They gave him an offer that aligns to where he was slotted in the draft. Being that he was chosen #10, that is pretty big money. And yes, the 49ers knew they were a run team all along, which is why they don't want to overspend for a rookie WR.

The 49ERS sure could have used some YAC last night to help out their run game. We still have a need for a big elite WR and the lack of a run game drove that home for me. We drafted him for a reason and it would be pretty lame if we painted our way into a corner and couldn't still get a deal done because everyone wants to save some face. IMHO.

Signed still waiting for a 1000 yd WR.

You are making the assumption that Crabtree would be an instant difference maker if on the team now. Funny how guys that have never played a down in the NFL (or are not even in the NFL yet) are talked about as the team's best option.

I disagree that the offensive philosophy is the reason they don't want to overspend for a WR. They paid good money to Brandon Jones, after all. To run the ball well you need to keep defenses honest. A deep threat pulls the safeties off the line. a guy like Crabtree would only help the running game, because defenses would have to respect him.

I totally agree.
