Hopefully he'll agree to a mediocre contract.

Alshon Jeffery
Wes Welker
He's maybe in the top 20 WR. We should take a WR in this draft, maybe even select two WRs. Boldin is gone in 2016, Crabtree a FA and Lloyd a one year rental but who might not make the roster. That leaves us with Patton.
I would take most of those guys before Crabtree.

It would be great to have Fitz together for Boldens last stand. lol
That would be a sight to see again.

If he puts up another 1,000 yard + season, I say 9 million a year. If he doesn't take it, let him walk. Pick up comp picks for Crabtree AND Iupati in 2016.

It would probably help Kaps development if he didn't have Crabtree to over focus on.
B.S.
He only had Crabs for half a season and just moved to Boldin as his go to man.

Means not in long term future and talking him up guaranteeing the 3rd round comp pick, because someone will pay him 16m, it just won't be the 49ers.

Nobody is going to be paying Crabtree $16 mil per year. The Niners wouldn't even pay Megatron $16 mil a year. That kind of money just doesn't fit in their formula and I'm glad it doesn't. How many playoff wins has Megatron brought to the Lions?

Well he sure as heck couldn't rely on Marlon Moore Kyle Williams Jon Baldwin or the rookies Vance and the injured Patton could he?

In about 8 games last year (including playoffs), Crabtree put up 34 catches for 487 yards. You extrapolate that figure to a full 16-game season, and he has 68 catches for 974 yards.
I don't know about you guys, but that is incredible for someone coming off of a torn achilles injury. He would probably have gotten better and more involved as the season went along, easily being able to put up 1,000+ yards.
Just something to think about.

I think Crabtree is an extremely good possession receiver. He moves the chains. He gets open. He blocks. Defenses have to think about him. But the problem I have with Crabtree is that I think he's going to want to be paid like a top 10 NFL receiver and I don't know if he's ever been top 10 in any statistic for receivers. So, I just don't think he and the Niners are going to come to terms. I hope I'm wrong because I'd like him to be on the Niners. He moves the chains.

Definitely thought about it, but is it worth the top 10 pay?

What's BS is forcing throws that ended both of the last two seasons and cost us a 6th Super Bowl ......

Now, Kaepernick is responsible or to blame for the 49ers not winning a 6th Super Bowl.
