SANTA CLARA, Calif. — 49ERS-JETS Ryan: Charge filed
The San Francisco 49ers have filed tampering charges against the New York Jets regarding top San Francisco draft pick Michael Crabtree, Jets Coach Rex Ryan confirmed Monday.
"My understanding is they filed charges with the league," Ryan said. "I'm saying my response is it's not true. I mean, it's not accurate. It's not true, but, hey, we'll let the league figure this out."
When asked Monday if his team filed charges, 49ers Coach Mike Singletary said it's a situation "the league is going to handle internally."
The 22-year-old Crabtree, selected No. 10 overall by the 49ers in April's draft, is the last draft pick not signed. The wide receiver is seeking money comparable to higher picks and hasn't accepted the 49ers' offer for approximately five years and $20 million, with a reported $16 million guaranteed.
