PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) -The slow pace of Buffalo Bills rookie defensive end Aaron Maybin’s contract talks are partly the result of another unsigned first-round pick: San Francisco wide receiver Michael Crabtree.
Former NFL linebacker LaVar Arrington, Maybin’s publicist and friend, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Crabtree’s stalled negotiatons are the reason Maybin has missed the first two weeks of Bills’ training camp.
Crabtree was drafted 10th overall, one pick ahead of Maybin, who like Arrington played college football at Penn State.
With Crabtree unsigned, it makes it difficult to determine Maybin’s value. Rookie contracts are traditionally slotted in descending order of where the player was drafted.
