Should I be thrilled to death that the 9ers finally signed their first-round draft pick? I'm not really feeling it, I must admit. I guess it's good that we signed him. Early word is that the contract has alot of fluff incentives. Does that mean that Eugene Parker can stand up there and say that he broke the ladder system or he just tries save face with this year's crop of potential clients?
According to the John Crumpacker at the San Francisco Chronicle, the deal signed at 3:55 this morning is similar to what he could have had in July, minus the salary he missed for the four regular season games. According to his report, "even with the add-ons, the 49ers are not believed to have broked the league's slotting system for rookies, meaning Crabtree signed a contract commensurate with the 10th pick, less than No. 9 B.J. Raji of Green Bay ($28 million total) and more than No. 11 Aaron Maybin of Buffalo ($17.6 million)."
