Golden Tate to NYG

[Alexander]

I don’t think there is legit interest. It’s media and agent driven

I agree. Once someone says the Cowboys are interested, they probably aren't.

 

[UpNorth]

what did we lose out on? Paying a guy $37.5 million who had 44 receptions last year, who barely broke 500 yards with a woppin 3 TDs? The year before 30 receptions, not even 300 yards and ONE TD. The Giants lost this one by over paying an aging WR top $$$$!

Your #s are wildly off here. I think you're looking at his Detroit and Philly splits and counting them as different seasons

 

[Alexander]

Tate is a really good player

Arguably the best slot guy in the league

Oh I agree he is very good. Just questioning the guaranteed money considering the dead money they are carrying for Beckham.

 

[Risen Star]

Thanks to the Giants the Eagles get another 3rd round comp pick. Foles and Tate compensation next year.

 

[AsthmaField]

Mehh, I really wanted Tate.

But now I'll take Randall Cobb (at one third the price).

No thanks on Cobb. He’s done IMO.

I’d much rather get ty Montgomery to play a little slot Wr and maybe a little RB... for the right price.

 

[Jake]

They could've kept Cole Beasley for less if they wanted to spend that much on a 3rd WR. Not surprised he isn't a Cowboy.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I was thinking $12 mil would be fine for him, $16 mil max. $23 mil is quite a bit more than what I had in mind for Tate.

 

[bb721]

Guy is an awesome person

Why, because you didn’t like his hit on Lee? Grow up.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

We lost again

Lost what?

 

[Kaiser]

I was thinking $12 mil would be fine for him, $16 mil max. $23 mil is quite a bit more than what I had in mind for Tate.

One of the contract terms is that he has to change his name to Olivier Vernon Tate.

We lost again

Actually, I think the opposite.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

One of the contract terms is that he has to change his name to Olivier Vernon Tate.

Haha, well played!

 

[Denim Chicken]

Is OBJ > Tate, the 17th pick, a third rounder, Jabrill Peppers, and 20m$ in cap space in 2020?

Depends on your goals.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

It's a dumb contract.

 

[Teague31]

About $30 million to much. Dude is a tier 3 receiver

 

[Denim Chicken]

Oh I agree he is very good. Just questioning the guaranteed money considering the dead money they are carrying for Beckham.

Also (I don't know the structure), but 4 years for 31 year old WR.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

It's a dumb contract.

Agreed. That is off. I'd be interested to see the guarantees because $23 million is a lot for him. If that's the going rate for a 3rd tier slot WRs, then I say John Ursua in round 7, come to Dallas.

Tate is a really good player

Arguably the best slot guy in the league

Picking up Hurns option made it pretty clear IMO, they had no interest in free agent WR, especially slot. Stephen said a month ago, Hurns would replace Besley.

 

[Whyjerry]

If they don’t sign Lawrence and don’t extend Dak or Zeke, what exactly is that money being spent on?

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Not sure about the contract but he's a good fit for the Giants.
