"Everybody came to a reachable agreement and it happened," Crabtree said, sporting a red No. 15 practice jersey and charcoal gray sweats. "I'm just glad I'm past that part. I'm very humble right now, man, it's a very humbling experience. Just getting a chance to sit back and better myself as a person, as a player, as a teammate. ... I feel like going through that it made me look at the world in a different way, look at my teammates a different way. Hopefully it will work out for the best."

Are you kidding me, "humble"? Why does all of this drama and his holding out for more money make him a better person, etc.? Rookies in the NFL disgust me. I believe there should be a specific outlined contract only for rookies that state a max salary for each drafted player (which will be the guaranteed earnings) along with bonuses and additional salary increments based on STATS and PRODUCTION. There have been too many drafted players getting paid a ridiculous amount and failing to meet any standards set for them. There is a huge transitional step from college to the NFL, which is why there should be results for residuals.
