I read one guy's theory that Crabtree may not be completely healed from his foot surgery yet and that's why he doesn't mind his agent making a big deal and causing him to miss practice. It makes sense, but when it comes down to it I don't think the Niners are going to budge and I think Crabtree and his agent both know this. They just don't care because he may not even be ready to practice anyway. Also, Crabtree is not expected to be a big contributor in his rookie season because of our depth at WR. The fact that Isaac Bruce is returning would make Crabtree 2nd string behind Josh Morgan this season anyway (Brandon Jones is 2nd behind Bruce). Next season Morgan will be expected to take over for Bruce and Crabtree will take over the WR slot Morgan will man this year. Basically what I'm saying is Crabtree's holdout is not hurting the Niners very much, if at all, unless Josh Morgan gets hurt. The Niners know this and Crabtree and his agent know this.
