crabtree was selected in the first round with the 10th overall pick by the san francisco 49ers in the 2009 nfl draft. he was the highest drafted texas tech red raider since halfback donny anderson went seventh overall in the 1965 nfl draft. on july 28, 2009, crabtree failed to report for training camp because he had no contract. crabtree's training camp no show was the first for a rookie since 2005. sources close to crabtree indicated that he was prepared to sit out the 2009-2010 nfl season and re-enter the 2010 nfl draft. crabtree's agent eugene parker stated that he denied threatening the 49ers with having crabtree sit out the season and reenter the draft. on august 30, 2009, crabtree became the very last holdout and unsigned draft pick from the 2009 nfl draft when andre smith, the 6th overall pick, signed with the bengals. that day was also the 32nd day of crabtree's holdout, and only 10 days short of the all-time long holdout for any 49ers rookie in the franchise's history. beat reporter matt maiocco had reported rumors that the signing could have happened around labor day, but that did not occur as the sides remained at a complete impasse. over labor day weekend deion sanders, an nfl reporter and crabtree counselor, stated on the "nfl total access" show that crabtree was indeed willing to sit out the entire season. sanders also claimed that the rookie receiver was not in "dire need" of money at that time. by september 9, 2009, crabtree set a 49ers record by becoming the longest rookie holdout in franchise history. the last first-round draft pick to hold out for an entire season was quarterback kelly stouffer in 1987 when he refused to sign with the cardinals. stouffer was eventually traded in april 1988 to the seahawks for three draft picks, including a first pick in the 1989 draft. the 49ers would have had the option to trade the rights to crabtree only after march 1, 2010, and up until the next draft. if a team were to trade for the rights, that team would not be able to sign such a player before the 2010 nfl draft. if he was not signed by the 49ers and then traded to another team, his contract would have then counted against "that" team's 2010 rookie pool.
