49ers' York: Crabtree deal will get done
by Daniel Brown
As far as Jed York is concerned, there is no turning back in the high-stakes poker with first-round pick Michael Crabtree. He said he is confident the 49ers will get a deal done.
"We're all in,'' he said.
Speaking to a handful of reporters just before kickoff, York noted that Friday marked the trade deadline for unsigned draft choices.
Earlier in the day, there were breakthroughs with some other top picks. The Green Bay Packers reportedly signed defensive lineman B.J. Raji, the No. 9 overall pick, to a five-year, $28.5 million deal that includes just under $18 million in guaranteed money.
Offensive tackle Eugene Monroe, the No. 8 overall pick in last spring's draft, signed a five-year contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Crabtree, the Texas Tech receiver, is believed to be seeking a contract worth more than is unofficially slotted for a No. 10 draft choice.
York did not address financial figures. He said only that the ink would eventually be on the dotted line.
"We'll get it done,'' he said. "I don't know when, but we'll get it done."
