The other Eugene Parker client reportedly agrees to deal

FOOCH'S NOTE 3:35pm: Welcome to all the folks coming over from the Yahoo Sports article on the Crabtree/Parker shenanigans. Feel free to explore the site. If you want to join in our discussion, registration is free and easy (link down at the bottom of the page). If you have any questions, leave a comment, or email me at ninersnation@gmail.com.

The National Football Post is reporting that defensive end Tyson Jackson, the #3 pick in the draft, has come to terms with the Kansas City Chiefs. So apparently Eugene Parker does know how to agree to a deal.

This could be important in locking in what the slot deal would be for Michael Crabtree. Why? Well, I had seen some discussion around (will try and find link) that Aaron Curry was holding off until Jackson came to a deal. That would likely set more and more dominoes falling through the rest of the top 9, possibly even Aaron Maybin. I'd imagine things might start happening in the next day or so with the other top 9 picks. Crabtree obviously is a bit of a special circumstance.

Also, for those who get ESPNNews and will be around a tv, I think Matt Maiocco will be on at 5:15pm pacific. He posted a status update on Facebook that seemed to indicate that, but also might mean Eugene Parker or Tyson Jackson would be on at 5:15. I'm leaning towards it being Maiocco.

this might be off the subject...

I didn’t what fanpost to ask about a possible fantasy draft set up… last year’s flea flicker fantasy football was fun. Any chance we’re doing that again this year?

Joe and Steve were under the same system for years... don't expect Smith to be super so soon.

I don’t see how sitting out for a year will be beneficial to Crabtree…. he WON’T get paid this year, thus, losing millions of dollars that would have been paid to him, AND he probably WON’T even be picked in the first round next year, or even in the top 2 or 3 rounds…. because teams aren’t going to want to deal with that type of behavior, and more importantly, his skills could diminish greatly with in a year… thus, losing even more than a few million bucks in the process.

His threats are empty.

Anyways, good for Tyson Jackson. Go flash your money in front of Crabtree’s face…. make it RAIN all over him and his cousin.

oh, and Crabtree is also losing money in jersey sales, cuz at this point, I’d rather bust out my Alex Smith jersey from the closet.

Slotting

I really don’t think that any more guys drafted before Crabtree signing deals is really going to matter too much in terms of the Niners getting him on board. We’ve already offered him No. 10 pick money, and it’s been pretty obvious that Parker is trying to shuck the slotting norm to get his client top 5 or 6 cash.

Parker Who Is In Control?

Parker do you let cousins of your players speak for you and your client?? Who is no control here, You, Crabtree or his cousin, stupid bodyguard? To allow a cousin to negotiate in the press doesn’t make you look like your in control of your client and his family. Nice way to alienate the fans, players, and coaches that he is supposed to work with..Could you make this any worse?

Get control of your client and his posse..

Right.

It’s the agent’s job to keep the family of his agent quiet. Please. The agent deals directly with the client. It’s Crabtree’s job to make his relatives not make him look like an idiot.

I think Parker is wrong in this whole situation, but to blame this idiot cousin’s comments on Parker’s “lack of control” is utterly ridiculous. If anything Crabtree SHOULD be in control of the entire situation. He, in the end, is the one that makes the demands and decides WHICH contract he wants to sign.
