Sure Tate has been a great player but to tell you the truth at this point in his career I really think that Aggie gives you more. If we couldn't get some defensive help we just should have stood pat. I think that the move only showed that the Birds were trying to get better and signed a big name player who was not really needed at a pretty high price.

Golden Tate-Panic move by Howie?

eh. I think they still thought the season could be turned around when they made the move. I wasn't big on it at the time but I could see their point. Still not big on it since he and Agholor seem to be jammed up in the same role. Personally, I would rather see them keep Agholor and let Tate go in the off season. A speedy receiver will just open things up more for Aggy and he knows the system so very well. Maybe you get a 4th for Tate in compensation maybe you get a 5th. Get what you can and move forward.Wait until next year is a terrible philosophy
Hope is not a strategy

I have always loved and hated Tate, ,,,,,,, good player, good talent...... hate his school and teams he played for.
This team does need some D help..... the league is a high scoring max Offense league. I keep him if we can. And yes keep Aggie also... talent talent talent.

I liked the move at the time and I still like the move. Its seems our new OC doesn't know how to get these guys in position to succeed. No fault of Howie or Tate. Maybe a better OC will figure how to use Aggie, Tate, Jeffery and the others. It seems only Ertz thrives in this offense.

I don't think aggie and Tate are fighting for snaps with each other. I think more talent is better and Tate has talent. I just don't think there is any comfort from Wentz. Jeffrey, Tate, Agholor and Ertz is a pretty good lineup. A lot better than Jeffrey Tate Ertz and Matthews.

Tate adds talent, but he doesn't give them what they need. They need a burner who can provide vertical stretch. Tate is not that guy. He's a slot guy who is good at RACs. I don't think it was a panic move, but I don't think it was a great trade. If they could get either Wallace or Hollins back, I think that would help more.

He may not be doing what we expected, but they will figure out whether or not they like him. It cost a pick, but they didn't sign him to a monster , back breaking deal .We're looking for people that are fundamentally different,” vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl said Saturday night. “The love and passion for football, it's non-negotiable. They're caring, their character, they do the right thing persistently, and they have a relentless playing style that you can see on tape. The motor, it burns hot. You see them finishing plays. They have a team-first mentality. They're selfless individuals.
