After a hiatus of over two weeks, the agent for un-signed first-round draft pick Michael Crabtree is set to resume discussions with the San Francisco 49ers today.

On Tuesday, Niners LB Takeo Spikes offered a new perspective on what’s become an old topic by now — the continued holdout of the 49ers’ top pick Michael Crabtree.

In my Around The League segment on Total Access today with Rich Eisen, we discussed how Bill Belichick and the Patriots will attack rookie QB Mark Sanchez and the New York Jets and the latest on holdout Michael Crabtree’s situation with the 49ers.

NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora has confirmed a Santa Rosa Press Democrat report that 49ers president Jed York has offered to hold a face-to-face meeting with holdout Michael Crabtree.

Niners RB Frank Gore shared his thoughts on the season opener and what the offense might have in mind for 2009.

We’re all excited for the games to finally begin. Plenty of reasons to keep an eye on each offering.

Judging by 49ers coach Mike Singletary‘s reaction Thursday, it almost appears that rookie holdout Michael Crabtree is indeed out of sight, out of mind.

In Wednesday’s edition of Around the League on NFL Network’s Total Access, I chatted with host Rich Eisen about the weight clauses in the contract of Bengals OT Andre Smith, the ongoing holdout of 49ers pick Michael Crabtree, and more.

The way I see it, the only rational move for rookie holdout Michael Crabtree is to sign a contract with the 49ers, and the sooner the better.

Here’s a look at my preseason fantasy risers and fallers. If you’re not ranking Chad Ochocinco ahead of Brandon Marshall now, you’re missing something!

Had a chance, between suspensions and preseason games and all of that good stuff, to go back and read all of the comments to my division winner picks, and division loser picks. First of all, thanks for all the feedback. I love a good, spirited debate and you guys, when you weren’t attacking me, did a nice job of going after each other.

I think some quarterbacks are coming off the board way too soon in fantasy drafts. Want proof? Check out a recent draft I held with some friend and family from back on the east coast. You won’t believe who went first overall!

With the Jaguars signing Eugene Monroe tonight, just three unsigned first-round draft pick picks remain.

Moments ago, the Packers announced the signing of first-round pick NT B.J. Raji. Terms of Raji’s contract were not disclosed by the team.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are close to inking their first-round draft pick, Eugene Monroe.
