Michael Crabtree was a standout receiver at Texas Tech last season but to sit out three weeks without talking to the San Francisco 49ers is a joke. Why in the world does he think he has so much value and has never played or practiced a down in the National Football League. I’m really tired of these young cats thinking they hold so much weight and teams will not even negotiate with top veteran players like this.
On one hand, I agree because this is the most money that he’ll ever see from a contract in the NFL. That’s proven. But, to sit out all 4 weeks means he will never be able to learn the plays now. And now the 49ers are winning without him, he wants to negotiate to get on the team. If I were the 49ers, I would never even play this kid and sign him and let him sit on the bench the entire season.
