Mr. T Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 49ers have filed tampering charges against the Jets in connection with unsigned first-round pick Despite their 2-0 start, it seems the New York Jets are still desperate to add a wingman for rookie QB Mark Sanchez. The (New York) Daily News claims the San Francisco 49ers have filed tampering charges against the Jets in connection with unsigned first-round pick Michael Crabtree. Crabtree, a Texas Tech wide receiver selected by San Francisco with the 10th pick of April's draft, is the lone remaining first-round holdout. Though the Jets denied the allegation, head coach Rex Ryan addressed it on ESPN radio's Mike and Mike in the Morning today, saying: "We'll let the NFL figure that one out. "I think it's ridiculous, personally." After losing WR Laveranues Coles to free agency (Bengals) in the offseason, the Jets have used Jerricho Cotchery and Chansi Stuckey as their starters. But they explored trading up in the draft to obtain Percy Harvin (ultimately taken by Minnesota), considered Plaxico Burress before it became clear he would serve time in jail and were also linked to unhappy Broncos WR Brandon Marshall, which drew the ire of the Broncos, though they did not formally charge the Jets with tampering. The 49ers could deal Crabtree's rights prior to the Oct. 20 trade deadline. If they do not sign him before Nov. 17, they will lose his rights, and Crabtree will be eligible to be selected by any team in the 2010 draft. -- Nate Davis article We could use Crabtree, wait a minute we drafted 2 recievers and dont use them either.
