sign the beastI think he will sign for 3/30 or so.
I almost wrote this, "Tate, Jules, and a first or second rder with this run game would give teams fits. Do it." But I decided for this statement the rookie was not needed. Definitely should draft one but not counting on it until it happens as BB seems fine piecing this position together.I think we would like to get younger at that position too.
If we consider a 30y old Golden Tate for around 10m as a FA, I would take a swing at asking the Bengals how much they'd want for a 31 year old AJ Green in his final contract year at 12m. Signing Tate for around 10m would most probably cost us a third round comp pick (via Trent Brown or Trey Flowers) in a year anyway so if it is somewhat comparable might as well go for the ridiculous moonshot and get a truly dominant outside guy.
The Bengals might value draft picks over the final year of a player they might not extend anyhow.
I think he fits our offense like a glove. The question is, how much would it cost to sign him? I know BB tried to trade a 3rd rounder earlier this year but Philly had a higher 3rd rounder.

Love AJ Green but he is too injury prone.a 2nd rounder for AJ Green?
Extend him first.How will Edelman feel if we offer Tate $10m a year when he is making less than half that?
And incidentally, there is no way we are giving a receiver $10m+ a year unless its a premier guy.

I'm not trying to give up more than a 3rd for AJ Green.
