San Francisco 49ers adjudicator advanced receiver Michael Crabtree is in position to set a antecedent that could change NFL amateur arrangement negotiations for the bigger for years to come.
And the Texas Tech artefact should stick to his appear blackmail to sit out the division and re-enter the NFL abstract next year if the 49ers, who play host to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, don't accommodated his arrangement demands.
The alternation bones would be spectacular! And Crabtree would be at the centermost of the wreckage, his career fractured, his wallet bloodied and his acceptability on a stretcher.
But the after-effects would echo for decades and potentially put an end to antic amateur holdouts that are based on what a amateur thinks he is account rather than what the bazaar has bent he is worth.
Crabtree, the No. 10 alternative in April's abstract and who angry 22 on Monday, absent the team's huge agitated win Sunday at Arizona because he's too angered by the 49ers' arrangement action to bother with arena football.
But the 49ers' appear action of $20 actor over 5 years, with $16 actor guaranteed, is far from out of band with reality, clashing Crabtree's demands to be paid forth the curve of those drafted advanced of him.
Rookie affairs are about slotted by abstract alternative with the amounts commonly accretion year to year. Last season's No. 10 pick, New England linebacker Jerod Mayo, accustomed 13.8 percent beneath than what Crabtree is axis down.
This year's No. 9 pick, Green Bay arresting accouterment B.J. Raji, accustomed $18 actor guaranteed. The No. 11 selection, Buffalo arresting end Aaron Maybin, accustomed $15 actor guaranteed. Their affairs sandwich the 49ers' action to Crabtree.
But he reportedly wants money afterpiece to the $23.5 actor in guarantees Oakland gave the No. 7 pick, advanced receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Wouldn't we all? Raji would like that contract, as well. But he wasn't the No. 7 pick.
Heyward-Bey would apparently like the $28 actor affirmed money the New York Jets gave quarterback Mark Sanchez, whom they called at No. 5. But -- chase the argumentation actuality -- Heyward-Bey was not the No. 5 pick.
