      <description><![CDATA[<a href="http://a323.yahoofs.com/ymg/ept_sports_rumors__40/ept_sports_rumors-820711373-1259065861.jpg?ymFYWQCDXnHbYADM"><img align="right" alt="&ldquo;Michael" border="0" hspace="10" src="http://a323.yahoofs.com/ymg/ept_sports_rumors__40/ept_sports_rumors-820711373-1259065861_thumb.jpg?ymFYWQCDGK.jXlzT" /></a>The word on the street is that the <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/sfo/">San Francisco 49ers</a> will <a href="http://www.mercurynews.com/49ers-headlines/ci_13853488?nclick_check=1" target="_blank">drop the tampering charges</a> it filed against the <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/nyj/">New York Jets</a> over rookie wide receiver <span class="ysp-player"><a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/9274/">Michael Crabtree</a><a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/9274/news" class="ysp_playernote_icon" id="ysp_playernote_nfl.p.9274">(notes)</a>,</span> according to the San Jose Mercury News.<p>The 49ers were negotiating with first-round pick/contract holdout Crabtree in September and former player Deion Sanders disrupted the ship when he said publicly that the Jets (and another unnamed team) would pay Crabtree the sum he was desiring. The 49ers filed a complaint pretty quickly after that.</p><p>Jets coach Rex Ryan denied the charges at the time and the world will never know exactly what went down since the 49ers are apparently set to drop the charges. Guess they finally are feeling confident in the six-year deal the team signed with Crabtree, who has had 22 catches for 292 yards since early October.</p>]]></description>
