Welcome class, we are about to go through a brief lesson in NFL rookie mathematics. San Francisco 49er's WR Michael Crabtree has all the talent in the world to become the NFL's next top WR, however he does need a serious lesson in reality and mathematics. Michael, your right. You are a top 5 to 7 draft pick. You were the top WR in the draft. Oakland still has no idea how to draft a "need" for their football team and their mistake is costing you money. I got all that. BUT, with all that said you were NOT a top 5-7 pick. You were #10. It doesn't matter where you SHOULD have been drafted, it matters WHEN you got drafted. Since you were drafted behind the #9 guy (B.J Raji - DT Boston College) and in front of the #11 guy (Aaron Maybin - DE Penn State) that means you get money in between those 2 players. Raji received a little over 28 million and Maybin received around 25 million. So, if I understand this right, you won't sign a contract over 3 million bucks? Wow! Michael, are you really threatening to sit out the entire season and go back into the draft next year? Let's think about that for second. By design, good idea. You could get drafted where you should be drafted. Top 5 easy. However, what if it backfires? What if history repeats itself? What happens if you get drafted at 12? 15? 20? Your going to make less money next year then you could be making this year. After this little temper tantrum your throwing, I'm pretty sure your scaring teams away from dealing with you and your agent. Do us a favor Michael, sign the damn thing and quit looking like a damn fool!
Much Luck
Joe

Crabtree, great athlete, absolute dumb dumb when it comes to his contract. Sign the effin thing or dissapear. And don't come back in 2010. You're not welcome here.
ReplyDeleteExactly! You would think that after everyone else signed, it would only be only a matter on minutes before they could come to terms on a deal. Apparently Crabtree's agent/cousin is looking to bank just like Michael. Well fella's, you can wish in one hand and........You know the drill. Shut your hole, sign the paper, get rookie hazed, buy everyone on the team dinner, carry the team's bags and catch a few touchdowns. Simple.
