Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 6 (UPI) -- Former Texas Tech wide receiver Michael Crabtree is prepared to skip the 2009 NFL season, his adviser, David Wells, told ESPN.com Thursday.
Crabtree, a 6-foot-1 inch, 214-pounder, left the Lubbock, Texas, school after his sophomore season, during which he amassed 97 receptions for 1,165 yards with 19 touchdowns in 2008-09.
He skipped San Francisco's off-season minicamps and organized team activities while recovering from a foot injury.
"We are prepared to (re-enter the NFL Draft in 2010)," Wells said.
"Michael just wants fair-market value," said Wells, who is also Crabtree's cousin. "They took him with the 10th pick and you have (Maryland wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey, the seventh overall pick by Oakland) getting $38 million?"
In two seasons at Texas Tech, Crabtree finished with 231 receptions, 3,127 yards and 41 touchdown catches.
