Busy Day... Crabtree Signs Deal

[DumAssWhiteGuy]

PFT reporting it was pretty much the same deal that was on the table back in July. The Diva gained nothing by holding out. Glad he wasn't our pick!

Good for the 49er's. In terms of saying "we are not going to give you more". Shows real backbone.

How ironic is it that I have Braylon Edwards / Michael Crabtree / and MoMass on my fantasy team?

Be went to a team where he might catch some balls.... Momass is startable now... crabtree will be the freshest receiver out there during the later part of the season and could make for some big games.

Neat!

I'm just glad we got rid of Edwards....

We will really see what our receivers are capable of now. I think this puts a lot of pressure on DA and Harrison though because the defense won't be doubling anyone now. There could be more pressure in the pocket and less lanes to run through. But if DA can pull it together it leaves a lot of 1 on 1 opportunities for MoMass and Furrey. Both of which are on my bench right now btw... And Royal but he sucks ;(

the jets may have traded for braylon because crabtree signed. cause and effect.

True, but most likely it was because Mangini picked up the phone and said "Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeex, buddy! - what'll you gimmie for Edwards?"

Crabtree had better get ready. My hunch is that Singletary has been keeping a running total of the length of the holdout in the back of his mind all season long. I think Singletary will be fair to him, but if the way he handled Vernon Davis is any indication, we'll see a pretty entertaining sideline shot on ESPN the first time Crabtree runs the wrong route and waves his arms at the QB.

then rex realized that you can't trade xxxl parkas and a hoagie for a wr so he gave up 2 players and 2 picks.

[BrownIndian]

the way the 49ers are playing right now, do they even need Crabtree ?

Or he realized that he would probably need the parka himself.

From what I had read, even though they are 3-1 their offense is ranked pretty low as is their passing game.

Crabtree: "You guys suck and I refuse to play for you!"

Singletary: "If I drop my pants will you change your mind?"

Crabtree: "OK I'll sign."

[Legacy Fan]

Early reports of him signing from the usual suspects (Schefter, PFT twitters) saying that the niners were still able to "slot" him based on the numbers.

What a dope.
