Michael Crabtree may have shot himself in the foot when he decided to hold out these past four weeks of the season. The reason for this is that Crabtree pretty much lost all leverage when the 49ers started the season hot. After their winning streak, Eugene Parker knew he had to act quickly and get […]

Eugene Parker has had a very rough 2009 (minus the pleasant commissions that he takes). Michael Crabtree‘s holdout was the story that would not go away. It lasted from the start of training camp all the way to Week 5 of the regular season. All the while, Parker kept himself away from the media. No […]
The end of the 2009 NFL season will allow a number of solid football players to hit the open market. Usually, in the last year of players’ contracts, that player will play hard and put forth a great deal of effort in order to receive a substantial contract the following year. This year, however, some […]
I’m tired of people saying that Michael Crabtree is the last man standing in the 2009 NFL Draft class. Let’s call it how it is. Michael Crabtree is the last man sitting. Sitting on his ass while the 49ers win ballgames (something they could not do last year), players earn themselves and their families money, […]
One benefit of going to law school is that you have the opportunity to take drafting classes, where you will learn tricks about terms to place in various types of contracts. For instance, this past summer I took a class titled, Analysis and Drafting of Intellectual Property. Our major project was a license agreement, with […]

Fans of the game of football cannot stand seeing one of the best wide-receivers in the 2009 NFL Draft class miss the first week of the season, and possibly the remaining fifteen games on the schedule. A couple […]

Getting Paid To Practice
Saturday, September 5, 2009. It was a day that many NFLPA Certified Advisors would like to forget. They wanted to keep their cell phones on silent throughout the day, but knew that it was not a possibility. Saturday marked the day that NFL teams would make their final cuts, minimizing their rosters to 53 players […]
The 2009 NFL regular season has not yet started, and already, people can’t help but to wonder what the NFL will look like in 2010, when there will be no salary cap. The absence of a salary cap will only occur if league owners and the NFLPA cannot come to an agreement on a new […]
When the Bengals’ Andre Smith finally signed a contract on Sunday, it was released that a pretty interesting clause was stamped on it. Apparently, Smith’s contract says that his salary will be slashed for each game in which he is 350 pounds or higher and not on the active roster. Upon learning of this, I […]
