For now I’ll just move this to the front page. Very interesting info worthy of pulling out, but maybe not as it’s own FanPost yet. Thanks for getting this posted.

I have a lot of respect for Shefter as an NFL insider. He usually knows what he is talking about, this is why i take this new bit of information more seriously then i would have in another circumstance

I will believe when I see it.

This could mean a couple things (if true)

-That Crabtree finally came to his senses
-Crabtree saw how well we played and decided to change his mind and come to SF
-Deon finally gave him some advice to come over
-OR we are going to give him more money/ we promised to at least talk about it.

But I’m still skeptical, and who wouldnt be? How long have they been talking? Yeah…

If he does sign then it’s a win win for all.. Keep us posted..

FrontOffice: I’m glad we can have this meeting to re-open negotiations
EugeneParker: We’re glad as well
FO: Just sign the dotted line of the original offer Mr. Crabtree
Crabtree: OK
DONE DEAL

 Apparently things are going well and the deal should be done by Thursday…..haha although you never know…

I hope it was Crabtree who relented and not the other way around. I wouldn’t mind you guys having more money tied into another player, but I really hate when players hold out unreasonably.

Each side knows where the other stands and it won’t take 3 or 4 days to negotiate a contract if both sides want one done. If a deal is to get done it makes sense that it happens sooner rather then later. Later today or early tomorrow is when we should hear something. I am at work right now but i will keep my eye open for more news when it does break

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nobody is more excited than me, as you all have seen in my avatar and sig since draft day. THANK YOU

If this works out I’d like to take credit for the reverse jinx. I bought the tshirt someone was hawking last week (We don’t have Crabs, but at least we still have VD!). It could turn into a big fat waste of money, but it’s totally worth it if Crabtree signs.

Michael Crabtree and his agent, Eugene Parker, met with San Francisco 49ers front office personnel for an hour Tuesday in the Bay area, according to sources familiar with the negotiations.

Sources said Crabtree and Parker met with VP of football operations Paraag Marathe, owner Jed York and GM Scot McCloughan.

Indications are that Crabtree wants to play football for the 49ers this season, but there was no word on what kind of progress, if any, was made on a possible contract.

The two sides had gone almost three weeks without talking.

The 49ers have until Nov. 17 to sign Crabtree and have him play this season.

Michael Smith is a reporter for ESPN.

From The ticket in Dallas. meeting is underway between Crabtree and his people and York/Scotty M and Singletary. Yes Mike Singletary is involved in the conversation. The meeting is taking place at an undisclosed location near the 49ers HG in Santa Clar.

Important information Paraag and Eugene Parker are the only ones left in the room as it appears the meeting went “well” and they are at the nuts and bolts regarding the contract. Deal appears to be imminent.

to be on KNBR with Ralph And Tom. Coming up in minutes

just reported that Paraag is still meeting with Parker and Crabtree. Both sides are optimistic deal can get done!!!

Since we’ve been working with a FanShot much of today, I put up a post to take us into the night. Two days ago I wanted to cut down on this stuff. Now I’m posting about it more than ever. I feel dirty!
