Crabtree may holdout untill 2010


With rookie saleries skyrocketing and teams willing to pay them,  unproven players have been getting more and more money.  However, Crabtree (10th pick in the draft) is asking for more money than where he was picked at. He is asking for top 5 money.

Star-divide

 His advisor (cousin) is threatening to hold out the entire season and be drafted next year.  If this were to happen, it would make all the other draft picks much harder to sign.  They all look at the picks close to them and then determine how much money they want. As annoying as it is to sign a top ten draft pick, it makes it slightly easier to look around and see how much people are getting around you.

The Jaguars claim to be making progress with Monroe,  and I hope that this won't effect his ability to get signed.

I saw that on espn

I don’t believe in for a second, like i said before he’s a baby-Terrell Owens. I’m just glad we don’t still have Shack, or we’d have another 1st round WR bust to add.

i dont think it’ll be that much tougher to sign any remaining picks if Crabbytree holds out the entire season. There are enough contracts signed where a smart(??) agent and team are able to figure out the bottom line. If, for whatever reason, Monroe does hold out longer due to that (Crabbytree holdout) happening, then, perhaps he or his agent has a bit of prima donna themselves. I do believe, however, that Monroe and the Jaguars will come to a contract sooner than everyone feels.

That could be a problem.

Considering Monroe’s agent is a rookie as well, he may be hoping to promote himself through a high contract.

very true, Kbot… in the same vein, his agent could sink himself with a long holdout… a bit of a catch-22 i ’spose

i’m not thinking of the one’s that live in the ocean… i’m thinking the one’s that live in the groin area of the unlucky one’s with an STD… that fits Crabbytree!

michael crabstree

he has said this

i want to watch his 4.59

That's

what I would expect from him. A high 4.5. His height was already exaggerated by 2 inches or so. He was rumored as being around 6’4", but in reality he was only 2 inches taller than Harvin(considered a short guy).

by Ewdtrey on Aug 7, 2009 6:01 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Thing Is

If he does hold out, he can’t work out at next years combine unless the 49ers literally disown him. So a team would really be disappointed once they get him to run a 40 themselves, 4.59 baby.

I don't think

Monroe has much to benefit from holding out a really long time. With Tra in there, Monroe is only hurting himself. Less practice time, means less playing time. Less playing time means fewer incentives reached = less money for Monroe.

I think if Mr. Crabtree thinks he will go top 5 next year

he would be greatly mistaken, it would be wise to sign for a fair deal being the number 10 pick.

LOL

I wanna see what those people who ragged on the Jaguars for not picking up Crabs have to say now! If the Jaguars had chosen him, the way the been holding firm not giving in to players… he would definitly have sat out the entire year & got blasted by JDR on top of it. lol

In situations like this… I wonder if other teams are contacting SF and telling them not to cave in…

In the face of adversity, what you do from then on dictates who you really are...

There was a show where they followed around players before the draft. Crabtree was shown TEST driving a Mercedes, then hearing about his injury, then after getting his boot off looking at multi-million dollar apartments (so he would have a place to go when he went back to Dallas), and then on draft day putting on his custom made suit with his name and number embroider inside.

I think he will make T.O. look like a true team player.

by Pickle on Aug 6, 2009 6:08 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

yeah, i agree… making T.O. look like a true team player is nearly impossible, but Crabbytree is almost there…

Gene

Gene Showed his smarts by taking Monroe over Crabtree. Monroe will sign cause it is in his benefit to do so. besides he doesn’t seam like someone who would pull that stunt.

Give him his 20 mil gur money and lets play football i have a feeling that he is going to be worth it

by jesusjagfan2009 on Aug 6, 2009 6:44 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

If anything this should help the jags

i think the fact that Monroe has a rookie agent helps the jags. Lets not forget that for the agent to get paid Monroe has to get paid.

Is it me..

.. or could you guys also smell Crabtrees BS a mile away this spring. Sooooo happy we didnt go that route with our draft.

Eugene will sign. He seems much smarter and down the earth.

Crabtree is a straight up pussy

As Harveyismyboy would say if he were here.

Rookie Slotting System

The entire system of signing rookies needs to be completely redone. Each rookie should be drafted into a set contract that is not an annual “bump” over last year. This would negate a guy who has never even suited up earning more per year than guys like Maurie Jones-Drew. Guys like Michael Crabtree are a prime example of why thism ust occur.

I just want to know

why Crabtree wants to be paid like a top 5 pick because thats what he was. Does he not realize that he was picked number 10?

Hmm

There are two types of people in this world

Those who is a life that is lived and those who are a tale that was told. Sounds like Crabtree is wanting to be the later
