Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting that rookie WR Michael Crabtree is ending his holdout and has agreed to a 6 year deal with the San Francisco 49ers early this morning. Schefter also reports that the deal could void into a 5 year deal based on Crabtree’s performance.
Crabtree is expected to report to the team’s training facility today. The 49ers will seek a roster exemption from the league so that Crabtree won’t cost someone a roster spot immediately while he learns a portion of the playbook.
RookieBlitz.com had Crabtree as the 2nd best prospect this year behind likely Rookie of the Year Knowshon Moreno. You can find our breakdown and season preview of him here from our July 13, 2009 entry. We have compared Crabtree to a shorter version of Denver’s Brandon Marshall.
