A lot of guys on the San Francisco 49ers want new contracts. Unfortunately, there’s a line and protocol to receiving one.
Now that Colin Kaepernick and Glenn Dorsey are under contract, the 49ers are focused on getting a a new deal for No. 1 receiver Michael Crabtree, according to Ian Rapoport.
#49ers next contract target: WR Michael Crabtree. There is progress. Hope is for a deal before the season. Otherwise shelved until after

Rapoport added that Crabtree is prepared to earn most of his money through incentives, and understands that his injury history will prevent him from getting huge guaranteed money.
