NFL better compensate the Niners!!

July 27, 2005,
The San Francisco 49ers signed quarterback Alex Smith, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 draft, to a $49.5 million, six-year contract on Tuesday.
Smith will receive $24 million in guaranteed money, which includes his bonus. Smith's average annual salary of $8.25 million tops the $7.5 million average the Giants gave to quarterback Eli Manning, the first pick in the 2004 draft.
The $24 million in guarantees for Smith is a 20 percent increase over Manning's deal -- Manning had $20 million of his $45 million guaranteed in 2004. Both deals were negotiated by by Tom Condon and Ken Kremer of IMG Football.
Smith signed the deal four days before the first workouts of training camp Saturday, ensuring he'll have every chance to earn the Niners' starting job.
"Now it's time for me to go earn this money and prove that I deserve this money," Smith said. "The primary goal is to get on the field. I don't think this team is paying me this money to sit on the sideline."

SO its another teams fault that SF COULDNT SIGN HIM! thats the 49ers fault and no1 elses, just like the Raiders fault when they select bootsy ass players. You guys are fucking idiots that think SF SHOULD BE COMPENSATED for anything. Yet all yal wanna do is argue and pinpoint other shit thats irrelevant to the thread topic.
^^^what the fuck do u not understand???? another team making an offer to Crabtree DIRECTLY AFFECTS THE NINERS NOT BEING ABLE TO SIGN HIM.
MEANING THEY CANT SIGN HIM CUZ HE EXPECTS TO GET MORE MONEY FROM SOMEONE ELSE.
THEY CANT SIGN HIM BECAUSE OF ANOTHER TEAM
no one is saying that they should be getting compensation for not being able to sign him alone, without tampering...its because of the tampering (possibly) that they cant sign him!!!

Cleveland traded its first-round selection (5th overall, used to select Mark Sanchez) to the Jets for the Jets' first- and second-round selections (17th overall, traded to Tampa Bay, who selected Josh Freeman; and 52nd overall, used to select David Veikune), Kenyon Coleman, Brett Ratliff, and Abram Elam.[source 1]

Fuck anybody thinking that we, as Niner fans, are seeking compensation for the simple fact that we couldn't get Crabtree to sign. As the article states, if any teams are found guilty of tampering with Michael Crabtree we could end up receiving top picks from the Jets and any other team found guilty of the charge.

Dont act like this is the one and only time a raider fan said something stupid.
LOL @ people laughing that the 9ers couldnt sign their first round pick this year but in reality, the 9ers are looking at the possibility of having 3 next year. But I'll really laugh if the 9ers get the Jets pick and still sign Crabtree.

its only siccness members that arent fans of the niners that think the niners couldnt sign crabtree it takes his name to... sign why fuck up the system.. around the league all football experts except Dieon believes its Crabtrees problem not the niners dude wants 40 mill first play then get your contract..
LOL that's what I was thinking. If those two teams are found guilty, it's very unlikely Crabtree will end up on those teams, so there is the remote possibility that the Niners could be compensated AND still sign Crabtree. But with all that's been going on and his lack of communication with the team, they'd likely wait until they can trade his rights and ship him out. That is, unless he signs soon.
