Michael Crabtree inked a six year contract with the 49er's after holdout out four weeks into the NFL season. According to sources, Crabtree's contract is for six years and 32 million that could maximize to 40 million if he achieves every incentive in the deal. The guarantee in the contract is 17 million, but he is expected to make 19 million over the first three years and 23 million over the first four years. The five-year deal is worth $28 million. Crabtree held out because he felt his initial offer was not enough. He was expected to be drafted around the top five and ended up being the tenth overall pick in aprils draft. He was not the first wide receiver taken. That honor went to Darrious Heyward-Bey who went seventh overall. In the end he and the 49er's found common ground and a deal was done. Crabtree is months behind his teammates missing team activities and all preseason games. Can he become a factor for the 49er's this year? Only time will tell. The 49er's have been desperate for help at wide receiver this year as they rank near the bottom of the league in receiving categories. The team is hoping he can be the catalyst to take the team to the next level. Stay tuned for a update on his progress as the season progresses.
