The San Francisco 49ers have supposedly filed tampering charges against the New York Jets regarding holdout rookie receiver Michael Crabtree.
Crabtree is embroiled in a bitter holdout with the 49ers, and has threatened to sit out the entire season and re-enter the NFL Draft in 2010.
The 49ers have until Oct. 20, the NFL trading deadline, to trade Crabtree's rights to another team, who would then have a chance to negotiate a contract with the 2009 10th overall pick. If the 49ers do not trade Crabtree, they have until Nov. 19 to sign him or forfeit his rights.
Jets have been accused of similar things before.
Broncos accused them of tampering with Brandon Marshal, although they did not file charges. The Patriots did file charges in 2006 of tampering with receiver Deion Branch. The NfL exonerated them of those charges.

So to answer the question which has arisen about Crabtree, he is still holding out and doesnt look like he will give in. Neither are the 49ers.
