Crabtree skipping season makes little sense

Posted by ESPN.com's Mike Sando Michael Crabtree's cousin and adviser, David Wells, says the 49ers' first-round draft choice is "prepared" to sit out the season if a contract remains elusive. As noted in the NFC West chat,Portugal Euro 2012 shirts, I'll believe it when I see it, which likely means never. Crabtree would be taking a colossal risk going that route. Receiving money now beats receiving money later. He would have to earn more on a 2010 contract agreement just to break even. He also could not know how teams would view him. Nine teams passed on him this year. Ten or more could pass on him next season, depending on a range of factors, including concerns about a difficult negotiation, how many underclassmen declare, draft order,euro 2012 shirt, etc. Crabtree's agents would also be taking a colossal risk. Rival agents would likely seize the opportunity to convince Crabtree he was making a mistake. That shouldn't take much convincing, either,euro2012shirt.org.uk, because sitting out the season would indeed by a mistake.
