The Michael Crabtree saga in San Francisco just keeps getting better and better. Now the 49ers are accusing the Jets of tampering, claiming they spoke with Crabtree's agent. The Jets claim that they never spoke with Crabtree's agent, but admitted that they did send him a giant bag filled with money.

"It's just a coincidence that we need a big play receiver and he is kind of still on the market," said a representative of the Jets. "We simply sent his agent a big bag of money as a good faith gesture. It has nothing to do with us wanting Crabtree to play for us."

The NFL is looking into the matter. Right now the league is not commenting, but sources say investigators are waiting for another anonymous bag of cash to arrive at league offices.

The Michael Crabtree holdout has been among the top NFL headlines recently. Most reports indicate that he wants more money than Darrius Heyward-Bey, the top pick of the Raiders. But a source from inside Crabtree's camp indicates that he is not holding out for money. He's holding out for a better quarterback.

"I mean who is going to throw him the ball, J.T. O'Alex Shaunsmith?" questioned the source. Making reference to the last three 49ers quarterbacks. "Besides, Michael has a degree from Texas Tech University, and he can fall back on that if he chooses to sit out this season. What's that....he didn't graduate? Does San Francisco know that?"
