49ers planned to sign Crabtree before exhibition opener against Broncos

Although the deadline has passed Friday for the San Francisco 49ers to trade their top draft pick Michael Crabtree, the team president Jed York still insisted that the team will sign with Crabtree, most likely before the 49ers’ exhibition opener against the Denver Broncos.

Crabtree was the 10th overall draft pick, and he wants to get a contract that is comparable to the higher pick, such as the No. 7 pick Darrius Heyward-Bey and the 8th pick Eugene Monroe.

Receiver Heyward-Bey received a five-year contract from the Oakland Raiders late last month. The contract will guarantee him at least $23.5 million. As for Monroe, he signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Friday and also got a five-year contract, which will pay him $25 million with $19 million guaranteed for playing with jaguars jersey on.
