ESPN is reporting that Michael Crabtree’s adviser, David Wells, claims Crabtree will be willing to sit out the entire NFL season and re-enter the draft next year if the 49ers do not make him a reasonable contract offer. Crabtree was taken 10th and think he is not getting the respect he deserves in San Fran.
Apparently, Wells based his advice to Crabtree on his negotiations back in 1998 with the Yankees. “I told Mike a little story,” Wells said, “about how in ‘98 when the Yanks offered me a contract that said I could not drink more than 10 beers a day. I told them to go to hell, and then signed with the Padres.”
That worked out well, right?
