Tate visiting Detroit

[HawkFan72]

I seriously doubt they offered 7/35. In fact, I could see it quoted from every single "source" out there and still wouldn't believe it.

He's not worth 7 mil a year.

If it is true and still on the table there is no reason not to still see what is out their. Tate wasn't exactly raking in the dough while here.

I want him back, but if he can get paid somewhere else i wouldn't hold it against him.

You don't math very well. 7/35 = 5 per year.

I think he wrote it wrong. 5/35 was the original number thrown out there.

 

[Smelly McUgly]

I doubt it's true, but only because those numbers are legit insane for Tate in this WR market.

If Tate was offered a BETTER contract than Bennett by the Hawks I would be absolutely astonished. If someone would give me action, I'd place a bet right now that the offer was never made.

 

[ErikG803]

I wonder how much LaFell is looking for; I didn't even realize he was out there.

 

[SonicHawk]

Tate's gone. They know what contract Seattle offered him (which I'm sure is the max), they aren't going to offer him less.

not saying he isnt...

but can you fault a guy for letting teams fly him around the country telling him how great he is?

come on... Tate may come back just fine, but who can fault him enjoying the process. this happens once, if youre lucky twice in an NFL players career.

Of course not.

I would do the same thing.

 

[Seaswab]

thats not what he was offered, that is what some agent threw out that he should ask for.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I do math fine, I just typed it wrong. 5/35 is what I meant to say.
Get over it 8)

 

[SonicHawk]

I bet you tell the IRS the same thing.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Touche'

Nah, I just type too fast sometimes

 

[SonicHawk]

Understandable. When I saw the 7/35 I was very confused as well. Thought you had heard something else.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

That would be an awesome contract, and exactly what he's worth. Never know, may still keep him. Shoot, it looked like Bennett was gone too.

They could have told him test the market and let me know what you can get and lets talk.

The way the Lions NFL reporter sounds on the NFL Network, you would swear that Tate will be signing over there within the hour. I really hope she(the blonde reporter)is wrong about this...((biting nails)) Within an hour we should know.

[Seaswab]

Lions website says its a done deal. Well goodbye Golden, enjoy that shithole.

 

[Seaswab]

I guess he didnt want to stay that bad

 

[oasis]

Kind of ironic that tate was talking about the hometime discount and Bennett was talking all about the cheddar.

 

[bandiger]

Well, lets move on. Sad fact we can't keep everyone, it will hurt next off season too.

 

[Jville]

I'm gonna miss Golden Tate.

God speed Golden Tate, thank you for helping us win the super bowl!
