Yes, the opportunity cost of holding out a year is frightfully high, and that doesn't take into consideration the loss in goodwill. Crabtree and his agent are gambling with enormously high stakes, and I get the feeling they may be in over their heads.

To think some people were angry at Ted Thompson for selecting Raji over the 'potential star' Crabtree.

Andre Smith just signed with the Bengals so now Crabtree is the only one left. :pottytrain2:

Part of me wonders if a reason Crabtree fell was that sometime after the Combine, his agent had been floating around feelers about expecting Top Five pay no matter where he was picked. Pure speculation on my part, of course.

Anyhow, Ted Thompson's decision to go with Raji looks like genius in retrospect, but even he admitted publicly he wrestled mightily with the decision. Sometimes you just have to take a deep breath, go all in, and hope the river card goes your way. In this case, it did.

we don't have a single receiver incapable of making plays. we simply didn't need him. it's like wanting to buy a nice, new, shiny car even though your current car is quite comfy and has never given you any trouble at all. sure it seemed enticing but it would have been a wasted pick. we NEEDED depth on our D roster, and that's exactly what we did.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

Deion Sanders talking out of his ass. 

Rich makes some good points. Apparently, Deion thinks that rookies still don't make enough, because these guys picked in front of him have unreasonable incentives.

Crabtree should get his head out of his ass. He's getting a very good deal for the slot that he was drafted in. If he's so full of himself that he thinks that he's worth even more money, he'll get it on a next contract. If you look at it, he doesn't sound like the smartest guy. His wonderlic score acknowledges that. I have no problem with that, but if he didn't have this god given gift, he'd be flipping burgers or something along that line right now. Stop being an idiot and take the 20 million over 5 years. Even if half of it is unreachable, he'll make more in a year than a lot of people make in a lifetime.

Go ahead and keep out for the entire year. I hope he'll find himself drafted in the 7th round by the 49ers.

The floral tie is great; the striped shirt is great. Together, they form a hideous combination.

I heard interview with Crabs old college coach, and according to the coach this is all on the agent and his staff..

He went on record stating that if it were up to Crab he would have signed a while ago

then why hasn't he fired his agent? sounds like b.s. i think he got in over his head and pride won't let him back down.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.
