Michael Crabtree Is Not Happy

San Francisco WR Michael "Primadonna" Crabtree is staying away from training camp while he fights for the contract he feels he deserves.
The 49ers selected him 10th overall, lower than predicted and certainly lower than he expected. But instead of trying to prove the teams that doubted him wrong on the field, Crabtree apparently wants to prove them wrong with his first contract.
It's almost always bad when a rookie holds out of camp. Crabtree probably was the most complete receiver available in the draft, but his foot injury and questions about his heart caused him to drop. It's too bad, but if he plans on being useful in fantasy leagues this season, he needs to get his butt to camp.
In related news, WR Darrius Heyward-Bey - who shocked the league when he was drafted ahead of Crabtree - has signed with the Raiders. That may actually hurt the Crabtree negotiations if he insists on making more than Heyward-Bey.

I love it. I bet the Raider Organization are the ones wiping their brow in relief after signing their top draft pick and seeing Michael crabcrotch holdout for what he “deserves”! Goes to show that he doesnt think much of playing for the niners! He feels he should get paid extra for his pain and suffering of having to play for a team like the niners!
Heh
It will be interesting to see how the careers of Heyward-Bey and Crabtree develop across the Bay from each other.
