Could Golden Tate get $7 million a season?
All of a team's free agents are important to a degree. But there was no other way to view it heading into free agency that the Seahawks had two marquee players potentially hitting the market --- Michael Bennett and Golden Tate. Seattle re-signed Bennett today, going a long way toward securing their future on the defensive line. Tate, though, will become an unrestricted free agent tomorrow as the Seahawks are willing to see what the market is for him and then decide how big of a play to make to retain his services. And according to former agent Joel Corry, writing on CBSSports.com today, Tate...

NFL free agency 2014: Golden Tate could correct past mistake
Carolina messed up four years ago, but perhaps now is the time to make up for it. Revisiting the 2010 draft from the Panthers' perspective is ugly. Sure it gave the team Greg Hardy, which is a win on its own but "the luck of the Irish" wasn't in Charlotte four years ago. Now there's a chance to correct that mistake and Golden Tate could be precisely what the team needs. Almost everyone wanted Tate when the No. 48 pick came. He was an established starter at Notre Dame with a game similar to Steve Smith's. Fans hopes that he would be the Panthers' savior at wide receiver, someone who could...

Golden Tate on SiriusXM NFL Radio: "It's going to work out the way it should''
Golden Tate was a guest tonight on SiriusXM NFL Radio with Alex Marvez and Bill Polian, and pretty much echoed comments he made last week about his pending free agency, that he hopes to stay with the Seahawks but that it's too early to tell yet which way things are headed. Asked if there had been talks yet with the Seahawks, Tate said things have been "pretty chill'' and that he hasn't "heard too much'' mostly relying on his agent (Todd France) to handle negotiations. As he did last week, Tate said the "hard part is over'' in that he performed well on the field this year to set himself up for...

Cooper’s contract expected to influence the market for Tate
According to Adam Schefter, wide receiver Riley Cooper’s new deal with the Philadelphia Eagles is for 5 years and $25 million, with $10 million guaranteed. Over the Cap makes the smart point that Cooper’s deal is essentially for two years at $9 million total to be a No. 2 receiver. They also argue that the basically $6 million per (five years, almost $31 million) that Brian Hartline received last year from the Dolphins may be the ceiling for No. 2 receivers. “For players such as Golden Tate and Emmanuel Sanders, who are free agents … Read more »

Cooper re-signs with Eagles: Will it impact the market for Golden Tate?
Receiver Riley Cooper of the Philadelphia Eagles re-signed with the team today to what was reported as a five-year, $25 million deal with $10 million guaranteed. For Seattle fans, the main question here may be how this will impact the market for Golden Tate (interestingly, I type this as I watch Tate at a school appearance today talking about the dangers of texting and driving --- he'll meet with media here a little later). OverTheCap.com has a good analysis. OTC says it may be good news for the Seahawks in keeping Tate, and not-so-good for Tate in terms of getting maximum value, saying that...

2014 NFL Free Agency: WR Golden Tate would fit with Colts
Stampede Blue's free agency series discusses potential players the Indianapolis Colts should target when the new league year begins March 11th. Golden Tate Wide Receiver 5'11, 195 lbs Each year that he has been in the NFL since getting drafted by the Seattle Seahawks with the 60th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, Golden Tate has gotten better. His receptions have jumped from 21 to 35 to 45 to 64 each season. His catch percentage was 68% in 2014, which is ranked No. 11 of all receivers with at least 700 snaps, per PFF.
