As the first round pick, Michael Crabtree thought he was worth more than $20 million, but the San Francisco 49ers seemed unwilling to offer more than that or what ninth-overall pick B.J. Raji got from the Packers.
Raji’s contract was for $28.5M and five years, and Crabtree could make up to $26.5 million with incentives and up to $16 million guaranteed from the 49ers. But the first-rounder still has not planned to accept that. He has told reported that he would like to sit out the 2009 season and re-enter the draft in 2010 if he doesn't get the kind of money he's seeking.
Crabtree was thus one of the two first-rounders who had not signed contracts. The other one is Andre Smith, who has not had deal done with the Bengals.
