Here's what Crabtree ought to do to solve this:

Offer to take an incentives-based contract.

Working from the baseline of his slot, set a few incentives where if he outperforms Heyward-Bey, he gets enough salary increase (and this can be a 2 or 3 year incentive) to have an increase in his base + bonus.

And when he publicly mentions that he's put this offer out there, in effect putting his money where his mouth is, the 49ers will have little choice but to accept.

Would probably be a good idea but would Crabtree actually want to do that? Maybe not. But it'd put the 49ers in a tough place.
