What is this guy thinking? He says he is prepared to sit out the entire NFL season because he deserves money like a first five picks. You cant be that selfish. I know you want the guaranteed contract which everyone tries to get in the NFL. I think the NFL needs to get a hold of this. Why do these guys think they should be given this cash? You haven't proven anything yet. The guaranteed money protects you if you get hurt. I know this. But for guys like this $5 million guaranteed is just as good. These guys have never seen a $1 million, so why do they need $23 million.
You give a guy $21 million like Andre Smith who held out all pre-season and now has a broken his foot. The Bungles waited all this time to get him into camp and now he is hurt. This just puts him back more and could affect his chances of playing this year.
These guys don't need all this money up front. The NFL needs to have smaller rookie contracts for there players. That way these guys get into camp on time. They don't hold out and you have to develop them the right way. Crabtree is just hurting himself. He is now going to be considered a baby and a whiner by his teammates. What about the guys struggling to make the team. They are there and ready to go. You never know who could take your spot.
Crabtree needs to find better advisers and better people around him. These rookies need to prove it on the field first. You should never get that much money for not even playing a game. The NBA does this with there players, you don't hear about hold outs with them. Also, if your the 10th pick in the draft. You get paid 10th pick money. You cant have say I should have been a top 5 pick so I should get that money. You think Dwade was pissed he didn't go higher? I'm sure, but he didn't complain, he did what he had to do to prove himself and got a contract when they felt he deserved it. OH! Hes the only one with a championship ring from that draft.
So my advice to these cry babies like Crabtree is get out there prove yourself. If you have what it takes it will benefit you and you can have as much money as you want. Your going to make more then anyone in your family has ever!
That's what's on my mind!

Crabtree is a product of the system. He, and a lot of undrafted players after him, are going to pull the dame shit till Goodell makes some changes. Crabtree couldn't be doing this if the NFL didn't allow it. I hope he does hold out till next year and re-enters the draft, then when nobody picks him he has nobody to blame but himself. Karma is a bitch! Just ask Andre Smith.
