BUH!!

Now the chiefs can get him..hopefully he drops far enough in the draft next year

What a rough life…. Instead of making 25million he might make 18million to play a sport.

Baby…

If I was Crabtree I would get a new agent and tell them to get a dang contract done so I can play some football.

1st Pick – $10mil – 2 years
2nd Pick – $ 8 mil – 2 years
3rd Pick – $ 7 mil – 2 years
4th – 10 – $ 5 mil
so forth….

then after 2 years, they can get a bigger contract. Haven’t played a damn snap in their life in the NFL. LAME!

Ridiculous….I thought football players wanted to play? They want to sit out now? hmm

For starters next years draft is much deeper then this years and he’s no shoe in to be a top 10 pick. Then consider these actions and tell me a team thats going to be eager to deal with this next year. These agents are doing a disservice to these young players. They’re supposed to be acting in their best interest but that goes beyond dollars and cents and Parker clearly not considering that.

Not only that but what about money lost? Even if he moves up one or two spots how long will it take him to make up the money he will have lost from this year and then not to mention one extra year further from your second contract.

What a mess and Id guarantee Parker is the #1 reason why Jackson isnt a done deal.

Ugh.

(Edit: If you didn’t know, Eugene Parker also represents Tyson Jackson. -Joel)

what a freaking baby!!!!!!!!!!

It worked out OK for Bo Jackson to be drafted twice ;-)

But yeah Crabtree has done nothing to impress me ever since he started getting attention right before the draft. I’d bet that he’s the driving force behind this stunt and not so much his agent. Crabtree is an egomaniac and a jerk from what I’ve gathered. It does’t surprise me that he thinks that he deserves special treatment to get paid out of his slotted contract value.

he was PISSED when he wasn’t taken when he thought he should have been.

…I’m saying, “boo-hoo. good luck next year.”
*hangs up phone

1) He’s going to be out a year. That’s a year of development time lost. (And, if I recall correctly, he came out of college early anyway, didn’t he?)

2) He’s going to be labelled by every personnel man in the NFL as a problem child. Guys like T.O. can get away with it (to an extent; he’s still a locker room cancer who gets dropped by teams that need him around) because you’ve got the skills to back it up. Crabtree isn’t T.O.

3) There are going to be other guys drafted ahead of him next year, if only for the reasons I’ve just listed which only hurts his contract potential. If he actually goes through with this, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him fall out of the first round (and possibly even out of the second round) after this mess.

Raiders OT Khalif Barnes has a hairline ankle fracture and will be out for four-to-six weeks, according to a Scout.com report.

If he refuses to sign with the 49’ers, what happens to the team with the pick? Is it just wasted?

The only loser hear would be Crabtree. They haven’t even made an offer to San Fran. This agent is representing his own pocket book at that is all. We better see TJ in the next 3-4 days.

" that guy better buy the new madden cuz thats the only football he is going to be playing for a while if he thinks singletary is gonna give in to some primmadonna reciever who hasnt even played a snap coming off a foot injury and wants more money. what a joke

that wanted nothing to do with the undersized, overrated Crabtree.
/pats self on back

Remember last year mostly at the end of the season and on into draft time.Everytime anything was on espn about college ball they showed the hilight of Crabtree making the catch and spinning away on the sideline and into the end zone, against Texas.
The kids head instantly started to swell,especially with all the madia putting him on a pedastal.I think he should take what he can get now,cause the guy has BUST written all over him.He wasnt even the best reciever in the Big12 much less the draft.
He’s a future T.O. in the making if he ever gets to an actual team.And damn glad the chiefs didnt even look his way.

Let see where this train of thought takes you Crabtree! Let us know how the CFL or USFl is doing!…ass.

All of these players entering the league are right around my age or a year or two younger…and I am sorry but I cannot believe that if you want to make this your career and be successful that you wouldn’t try your best to get into training camp on time to get ready for a full NFL season. You are going from playing college teams that have only a handful of future NFL players who may or may not become stars or even starters…to playing NFL teams with 11 guys on the other side of the ball who are ready to show you how they play in the NFL.

I really think I would want all the preparation I could get so I could continue to make those millions and be the best, just because you were the best at Texas Tech does not make you an NFL star, this guy needs to grow up.

He goes back in and say drops even lower in the draft or the collective bargaining agreement agrees to a rookie pay scale (or Both happen) he is screwed and will be crying. I think is is just agent talk trying to get leverage when they have none.

1. Crabs (yes his nickname should be synonymous with an STD) sits out for a year and a new CBA gets put in place WITH a rookie wage scale – so even if he does get picked near the same spot, it will still be for far less money than this year. Loser = Crabs

2. This stupid, moronic stunt by Parker is the straw that breaks the camel’s back and leads to the institution of the rookie wage scale, somewhat along the lines of the NBA system. I’m guessing other agents in the NFL that understand and go along with the “slotting” scale as it is now are wishing Parker would keep his damn mouth shut and get a deal done. Loser = Crabs

3. They finally do get a deal done at the standard or maybe slightly higher slotted value. Now he has to live down this whole stunt with his team, coaches and fans. Let’s see if Singletary makes him cry for real this time. The prima donna stigma sticks. Loser = Crabs

4. They actually have him sit a year and his value drops like an anvil in the ocean. Loser = Crabs

Listen, you got picked where you did because the other teams did not think you were valuable enough to take you higher. Teams don’t pass you by simply to spite you. You’ll get what you’re worth. In the case of most 1st rounders – you’ll get MORE than what you’re really worth just because of your slot. The damage is done, shut up and get on the field as fast as you can so you can try to prove that you’re actually worth all of this hassle.

loser = Crabs!

1. Parker promised crabtree that he would be a top 5 pick and may be doing all this to save his own skin and keep his client but getting him top 5 money.

2. Parker said that Crabtree will re-enter the draft(probably a bluff) if the team doesn’t give him what he wants but according to a team source Parker hasnt even put forward a proposal yet.

Do they not realize that if he doesn’t play for a whole year. That he will fall alot farther down than 10. There for his value will not be near that high. For now ever on. Crabtee is a Diva and a whine baby. I hope all the Crabtree lovers will quit it now as well.

Crabtree’s dad is a Chiefs fan, and the family breathed a sigh of relief when he dodged the Raiders. I was hoping for more from him.

Especially Jackson was not suppose to be a top 5 pick so in Parker’s view he shouldn’t get paid that.

9ers are pushing back. It’s free enterprise. At worst, Crabtree will be slotted according to where he was picked, but there’s a chance that Parker could get more for him by dragging his heels. In the here-and-now, there’s little incentive for Parker to worry about rules changes in reaction to his antics. And I’m hopeful there ARE rules changes.

At the time of the draft, Crabtree looked to be a steal for the 44-to-9ers. Not so much, today.
