After months of holding out, wide receiver Michael Crabtree has agreed to a contract with the San Francisco 49ers.
The deal, first reported by ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter, was confirmed by 49ers spokesman Bob Lange in a text message to The Associated Press early Wednesday.
Crabtree will get a six-year deal that he can void to five years if he meets undefined performance clauses, a league source told ESPN's Michael Smith.
The 22-year-old Crabtree is expected to report to the team's training facility Wednesday.
Crabtree and agent Eugene Parker met into the early-morning hours Wednesday with 49ers owner Jed York, general manager Scot McCloughan and Paraag Marathe, vice president of football operations. The two sides had gone almost three weeks without talking.
San Francisco selected Crabtree with the 10th pick in this year's draft and could use the wideout's game-breaking ability in the passing game. That said, he has a lot of catching up to do to learn the offense after missing all of training camp.
He also sat out the 49ers' offseason minicamps and organized team activities while recovering from a foot injury, but was a regular presence for rehabilitation and strengthening workouts at the team's training facility.
Coach Mike Singletary, whose 49ers lead the NFC West and at 3-1 are off to their best start since 2002, said Monday he would welcome Crabtree whenever he joins the team.
Crabtree caught 97 passes for 1,165 yards and 19 touchdowns last year during his sophomore season at Texas Tech. He finished his college career with 231 receptions for 3,127 yards and 41 TDs.
Great news for the 49ers, Crabtree is a beast in the making. Its just to bad it toke this long to strike a deal.

Nowhere near as happy about this as I figured I would be. Then again, I didn't expect it to take this long, either. I really hope the Niners didn't cave completely on financial terms.

..and here's where I turn into a phony because the Niners really really really could use Crabtree if he's the player they hoped he could be. Basically.. Fuck him, he's an asshole... but he's our asshole now. Just win, baby. That's all I got RE: that situation.
His average hell maybe below average speed and small body. He also came from Texas Tech which is in the Big 12 (known to play no real d's) We all saw what happened when they played Ole Miss

6'1" 213 isn't exceptionally small lol, I wouldn't worry about Crabtrees speed either, he ran away from enough defenders at Tech. We all know what happened when they played Texas, which was one win away from being in the BCS game and you could argue should have went anyways.
I don't really buy the spread offense argument for WRs, a great WR is a great WR. No matter the system.

So what happened when they played OU & Ole Miss(two exceptionally good d's)? I'm just saying he got shut DOWN.
I hear MC Hammer gave him the push he needed to sign.
