Apparently his agent is making all sorts of trade demands.... Wants an explanation as to why Tate was benched on Thursday.
I normally side with the team on these things.... Agent arguments are normally one-sided and always tell the whole story. But from what we DO know, this does seem to be a crappy situation. By all accounts from the team beat writers and reporters, Tate was outstanding during preseason practice. He was outstanding last year and he worked hard to come back from a tough neck injury. The guy plays on special teams and by all accounts does whatever is asked. For him to be replaced by a guy like John Ross - A guy that is hurt more than he is not, can't play special teams, and is unreliable as a receiver, is a real slap in the face. Also, as much as I'm optimistic about Tee Higgins, I don't think he is currently better than Tate. He looks too much like a rookie out there. I think he needs a little more time to develop and I think he will develop. Just not very smooth yet. Wonder why Tate is getting the short end of the stick.
