NFL: Dear Michael Crabtree.....

Enough is Enough Michael Crabtree! You have missed all of training camp and the start of the NFL Season is a week away. Time for you to let your pride go and sign a deal and get on the field! Yes, you had a very prolific career in College at Texas Tech and You are a very Talented WR, but the NFL isn't College, you have to prove yourself before you strut around with your chest all out trying to make yourself seem like your a lock-in for the Hall of Fame! You were NOT the first WR taken in the draft (Even though you should have been)! So what makes you think you will get paid HIGHER than the first WR taken? If the 49ers feed in to that and pay you more than Darius Heyward-Bey then the 49ers are PUNKS! So in conclusion, Mr.Crabtree you just need to sign your deal, get on the field, and let your play do the talking.

Sincerely,
BrandonDaBalla
