[Merged] Thoughts on Golden Tate? (1 Viewer)

FWIW, Bryan had the Zion stuff first yesterday. He’s been all over a bunch of stuff.

Not sure what it would cost, but he balled out against Arizona Sunday.

Tate carries big cap numbers. I would be surprised.

Giants aren’t trading Tate. He just got a new deal. They have some core players - they’re not in fire sale mode. Danny Dimes needs veteran receivers.

I don’t think the Tate idea makes much sense for the Giants.

Eifert makes a lot of sense given his salary and the likelihood that he would not cost much to acquire. Tate does not seem to make a lot of sense to me.

Ugh, you’re right. Just looked at his cap number and dead cap. They’d have to eat way too much.

Tate would only be owed the remainder of his base salary - $1.5 Mil - this year. The rest of the guarantees on his salary were voided because of his PED suspension.

At least, that's how I understand it:

Don't know what we want Eifert for. If Cook's injury would keep him out a while, I could possibly see it. We did fine with J. Hill last week though.

Contract particulars aside, Golden Tate would be true terror in our O. That dude would be the perfect Robin, to Mike T's Batman.

Would love to have Tate. He’s always been a dog against us. Too many times he’ll take a short pass and take it 70 yards

Ha! I was just coming here to post that. Makes a huge difference.

Wouldn't be the first time the Giants traded a receiver 1 year after signing him to a big contract...

Wait...Which Tate, though? Golden or Auden? Either dude would be awesome in our O.

Tate (if they can make it work) would be really good. Great route runner and excellent out of the slot.
