Upper Deck Interviews Michael Crabtree - 49ers Dubbed as one of the can’t miss rookies in this year’s draft, Michael Crabtree has still not signed with the team that drafted him, the San Francisco 49ers. While you can find rookie cards of Crabtree in 2009 Upper Deck products, there is a chance he may sit out the entire season. Here’s where things stand with him now. Since Crabtree did not sign by August 14, the 49ers cannot trade him until next season, even if he does sign. If Crabtree is not signed by November 17, he is no longer eligible to play this season. The 49ers will have four options if he remains unsigned from March 1, 2010-April 22, 2010 (the date the 2010 NFL Draft begins). They could sign and keep Crabtree, sign and trade him, trade his rights so the new team would need to sign him or let him enter the 2010 draft. If the latter happens, any team except the 49ers would be able to draft him. Let’s take a look back at Michael Crabtree during happier times at the NFL Rookie Photo Shoot where he wore the 49ers uniform for the first time. 9/29/2009

Donald Brown broke out in Monday Night Football for his first touchdown in the pros. Listen to Donald talk about collecting Kobe Bryant, signing strange items and who he idolizes. It looks like he'll be sharing time with Joseph Addai in the backfield and with Peyton Manning airing it out downfield, that should open up the running game to allow him to have a major impact this season.
