49ers Need to be Creative
The San Francisco 49ers have a real big problem on thier hands with the hold out of first round draft pick wide receiver Michael Crabtree.
With no sign of Crabtree caving the 49ers are going to have to get creative in order to get him signed.
Crabtree fell to the 10th spot as wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey was taken by the Raiders, which was a surprise since Crabtree was rated by most experts as better.
Crabtree himself knows that, which is the very reason why he is holding out as he thinks he deserves to get paid more.
There are only a couple options for the 49ers at this point and they are either cave to Crabtree, offer a insentive laced contract that could earn him what he wants, wait till he caves, or not sign him, which would allow him to reenter the draft.
In the end the only way the 49ers are going to sign Crabtree is giving him what he wants.
