Crabtree wants top 3 money

He was picked number 10 and yet he wants top 3 money. The 49ers would be stupid to give in.

He will never be a top 3 receiver so he definetly doesnt deserve that kind of money. The NFL needs to come up with a rookie salary scale similar to the NBA or NHL.

For the length that hegets for a contract. You gotta figure 4-6 years I dont see him developing into a top 3 receiever.

The college game is much different from the NFL. That is why you see so many busts. Im not saying he is going to be a bust I just dont think he will be one of the top receivers in the game

Good thing the raiders didnt get him.

I don't really care, since I don't expect him to do anything this year anyway. Rookie WRs take time to develop, so he can go ahead and hold out as long as he wants.

What is it with receivers?

I wouldn't read too deeply into this. It sounds like nothing more than standard negotiation tactics. The team wants to pay him as little as they can. He wants to be paid as much as possible. They'll find a middle ground.

edit: Not ALWAYS, but often enough. Jeremy Maclin hasn't signed yet, either.

Only 6 of the 32 first round picks have signed so far. And of the top 20, 18 are unsigned.

Weren't there reports during the draft that Crabtree was already a diva when he went to Cleveland to talk with Mangini? Or was I thinking of another receiver?feryl06

Dear Mike,

You were picked 10th. Call us when you want that 10th round pick money.

-49ers.

Is that what's holding up Jeremy Maclin signing in Philly?

I thought all the first round picks were SLOTTED based on previous year's salaries and draft position?

There's no official slotting system, but rookies do generally get contracts that seem like there is such a system in place. Agents and teams tend to see what kind of money is being given to picks above and below, what was given to the same draft position the previous year, and use that information as a guideline.

goodel(sp) makes all these stupid rules for the nfl but doesnt make a rule for rookies. This is the number one thing i hate abou the NFL rookie holdouts. Reggie Bush did it and m glad he got ownedNetYankEagle

The NFL rookies make way ntoo much moneynikolai37

I've never understood this sentiment. The teams obviously think they're worth it, otherwise they wouldn't be handing out these contracts.

A rookie cap would be great for the NFL. Teams pick early in the draft because they need help from impact rookies. But all the damn money they demand hurts these teams just as much.

Cant wait for rookie salery cap

A valuable pick warrants a similarly valuable contract. It's up to the team to determine just how valuable that pick really is.

[QUOTE="duxup"][QUOTE="d12malu"] No joke, receivers seem like the biggest prima donna's in the game. You would think QB's would be alot higher maintanence.starwarsjunky

[QUOTE="starwarsjunky"]

[QUOTE="duxup"] I suspect it has to do with job difficulty. QBs have a hard job. They're faced with some tough challenges so I think they're a bit sheepish compared to a dude whose job is to just run out there and catch a football. If they don't get the ball... whose fault is that? They're always open ;)duxup

[QUOTE="duxup"][QUOTE="starwarsjunky"] by that same logic, you can use it for any position in any sport. how hard is wrestling? you just have to push a guy on the ground for a few seconds. hockey? you just have to put a little puck in a net. o-line? just keep people away from the guy throwing the ball. i can go on....
