Do agents usually come to press conferences?

With high profile clients, yes.

I'm sure Parker knew that no good would come from him being there, so he kind of left his client Crabtree out there naked so to speak. Crabtree should be looking for a new agent as soon as possible and other prospective clients should keep in mind how he handled Crabtree this season before signing with Parker for next season.

Crabtree didn't want to speak, but it was the 49ers that insisted Crabtree step up to the plate and take a few questions from the media. Singletary was there to ensure nothing out of hand or inapropriate went on with the line of questioning. There was no need for the agent to be there or speak.

Yep and when someone asked what Hammer had to do with the contract negotiations, Singletary didnt even dignify it with a response.

The thing I took from that presser was how Singletary stepped in when Crabtree was obviously uncomfortable. That guy's so motivating that he makes me want to bind the hell out of insurance accounts after I hear him talk.
From the Department of Optimism, I think that there's a good chance that Sing becomes the next institution in the NFL, ala Walsh, Landry, Lombardi, Noll, Shula, etc.
As for Parker...that's between them. I'm sure it was discussed. I don't begrudge him for not being there.

I know Crabs has his money but ..... I hope Parker looses future clients for that unprofessional pathetically punk move. go away D!ck..
Pretty sure he was up til very very early in the am getting this deal done. Prob eas tired

No need to come to the meeting when you've become irrelevant.

Better watch what you say about Parker; might get MadDog on your case, since Parker's his hero.
All kidding aside, Parker's previously positive history as an effective agent and negotiator took a major hit with this botched chess match and his absence at the press conference only reinforces the facty he screwed this one up and knows it.
Now, let's see what we've got in this kid!
