49ers co-owner Jed York has offered to meet face-to-face with unsigned first-round pick Michael Crabtree, but hasn't had his phone calls returned by Crabtree's agent, Eugene Parker.
The Niners are willing, but Parker and Crabtree don't appear to be yet. At least it's a development; the sides have had little to no dialogue since the start of training camp 50 days ago. It's up to Crabtree whether he wants to play.

We will get him cheaper than the top 3 talent level he wants to be paid like. So by those counts, he will come cheap.
While he may not be as bad as those 3 players mentioned, what I`m saying is, he`s headed in that direction. This contract smells alot like a "me first" player. Let this dick play up to his potential and I predict another holdout over more money within 3 years. History has shown us that`s what "me first" players do.
I would much rather the young Jed-i sit down with the GM and concede that he fucked up. Make the GM admit he`s incompetent, own up to the lost 1st rnd pick and apologize to the 49er fanbase. Then relegate his duties to selling hot dogs at the game.

the nfl needs to address this issue desperately...there should be a a cap as to how much asssholes coming out of college chould make...make a base payment and all rookies get that, then after 1-3 years theyre performance is evaluated then can they demand these holdouts and contracts...am i the only one that resents these jocks who have yet to prove themselves in the pros crying and bitching for more money ...i know i know nfl contracts are drawn up by snakes but fuck...these shitheads are still making bank compared to the average joe, shut the fuck up and play.

if he signs this season, he aint gonna be a factor until next season. If he does get on the field this season, he will most likely be a decoy to stretch out the field for gore and open up the middle for VD.

If he plays up to his potential, we'll have some serious trade bait in him.
Playing up to his potential for 3 years means 3 years of great contribution (which only helps our team) and high trade value (which will also help our team).
If he signs, great. If not, I don't care anymore. But if he does end up signing, I will not hate him (I don't hate him now), but I won't be a fan, either. If he comes in, gives it his all and doesn't become a team distraction, this whole ordeal will be forgotten by pretty much everyone.

Owens, Johnson and Marshall are all team distractions. This is the base of my statement. If Crabass is holding out for more money which he wants and takes a lesser amount because he knows he`ll only make his situation worse, do you honestly think he is going to be "happy" to be signed to the 49ers? I highly doubt it.
I also doubt that he`ll come right into the league being a dick. That part may take some time for him to establish himself, or he could very well do a Keyshon from the gate. Only time will tell that. My point is, I believe that if he signs, he`ll be another malcontent that we don`t need.
The part about the trade value would work if we had a different GM. Not this one. When all indications pointed to the 49ers releasing Alex Smith, instead they restructure his contract to keep him in SF. That was largely due to the GM`s infatuation with his busted draft pick. If they do get Crabtree to sign, I highly doubt the GM would try to trade him, instead try to prove we made a great pick.
And if Crabtree starts acting an ass by year 3 because he has a breakout year in year 2, how many people do you think will line up to trade for another team cancer? How many people do you think are calling Denver or Cinci trying to see if they can get those players from them? I don`t think many if any at all. And if they do, it`s not for the value the team would like to see.
