Why not trade Tate to Arizona or San Fran???
 

or whomever? he would never pass through waivers and we could get back our late round picks we gave up for ocho... Tate will be odd man out why not make the trade and get late picks? I'd hate to see him a NYJ

Re: Why not trade Tate to Arizona or San Fran???
 

It seems like we will carry some extra linemen this year and another WR makes little sense on our 53 w/ 3 QBS and a ST Gunner, P,K, Mallett.


That is 4 slots by itself



there are sooooo many teams that need to fill cap space they would jump @ this offer

Re: Why not trade Tate to Arizona or San Fran???
 

If it is indeed an absolute fact that he is going to be cut, then why would they or any other team give up anything for him? SF already has Michael Crabtree and Braylon Edwards; it's not as if they're desperate for a receiver. If Tate is as bad as some here are proclaiming him to be then I don't know if he's an upgrade over Chansi Stuckey or Early Doucet in Arizona.

He's still our best KR until proven otherwise. The guys that would most likely replace him are Price and Vereen for that role. Reports say Price has really struggled in the return game thus far and Vereen is injured / unknown.. I see no reason to ditch Tate so easily. Especially with an older, injury prone Branch. Can we play a few preseason games before we start suggesting to trade players? These roster battles tend to work themselves out.

Just a random guess, but probably because no one would give anything for him? Maybe a bag of footballs or a tackle dummy.

A 5th round Pick or a 6th round pick is quite generous for a round 2 selection that just doesn't fit into our system. Who is to say he would not succeed elsewhere like TB or whoever? A round 2 pick is $$$ TB has to fill lots of cap space upon other teams. He is wqorth a shot for such a low value pick given to us.


I will wait through pre-season. I just do not foresee us carrying all of our WR's
We will surely carry more DL and LB's this year which works against Tate. I like Tate for his reverse plays and kickoff returns. How will he crack our 53 guys? I just do not see it.


someone called him a 1 trick pony and that is what he is

Re: Why not trade Tate to Arizona or San Fran???
 

You don't trade for the sake of trading.

Having depth never hurts.

Re: Why not trade Tate to Arizona or San Fran???
 

When you propose a trade is has to be based on the needs of the other team..not based on who you think could use him.

He did a good job returning punts, also injuries sometimes create slots... your suggestion may be premature.

Re: Why not trade Tate to Arizona or San Fran???
 

i agree.... but when he is claimed on waivers and we get nothing for it. he would NEVER pass through waivers unclaimed:eek:

he will only be depth for TC/Pre-season... I am saying after TC/Pre-season we should do this.\\\


I very much do love depth. I agree it is premature. I like to look beyond the present a a great deal as ya'll can tell
