Michael Crabtree Signed

Michael Crabtree, who was drafted as the 10th overall pick in 2009, has finally signed a six-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers. His contract is worth $32 million, but could be worth as much as $40 million if he follows all the guidelines in his contract.

However, Crabtree is at a huge disadvantage because he missed all of training camp.
Crabtree apparently didn’t sign in August because of financial disputes, and was willing to be “re-drafted” until he received the contract he desired. If Crabtree wasn’t signed by mid-November, he would’ve been ineligible to play, and if he didn’t sign, he would have to sit out for seven weeks until he could be traded.

Crabtree is expected to play during the game vs. Houston on October 25th, 2009.
