Contract talks between unsigned first-round pick Michael Crabtree and the 49ers are reportedly going so poorly that Crabtree has threatened to sit out this season and reenter the NFL Draft in 2010.

Agent Eugene Parker (for whom holdouts are nothing new) hasn't even made a proposal, but is said to be seeking a deal that would pay Crabtree like a top three-to-five pick. Profootballtalk.com previously suggested that Parker promised Crabtree he'd go in the top three before April's draft. Now, in an effort to keep Crabtree as a client, Parker is pulling out all the stops.

Also, I think you meant sit out 2009 season.

Adviser: Crabtree could re-enter draft
By Joe Schad
ESPN.com

San Francisco 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree is prepared to sit out this season and re-enter the NFL draft in 2010, David Wells, Crabtree's cousin and adviser, said Thursday.

"We are prepared to do it," Wells said. "Michael just wants fair-market value. They took him with the 10th pick and you have Darrius Heyward-Bey [the seventh overall pick by the Oakland Raiders] getting $38 million? This week is crucial. Michael was one of the best players in the draft and he just wants to be paid like one of the best players. This week is very crucial."

Wells said he believes the Niners have made an offer but that it is not acceptable. Wells said Crabtree is ready to start practicing and was held out of drills by coaches only for precautionary reasons.

Crabtree, who turns 22 next month, also missed the 49ers' offseason minicamps and their organized team activities while recovering from a foot injury but was a regular presence at team headquarters for rehabilitation and strengthening workouts.

Crabtree caught 97 passes for 1,165 yards and 19 touchdowns last year during his sophomore season at Texas Tech. He finished his collegiate career with 231 receptions, 3,127 yards and 41 TDs.

Crabtree is an idiot if he goes back in the draft. His stock would plummet and he would get even less money.
