Eagles Acquire WR Golden Tate From Lions
3rd rounder for an 8 week rental. Mixed feelings on this one.

I don't like giving up a 3rd for a player who's scheduled to be a free agent after the season. That being said, Agholor/Mathews are not doing enough to compliment Alshon and Ertz ... Tate is an obvious upgrade to the slot and is another weapon defenses will have to account for. Hopefully we extend him as he is still a damn good player; have a feeling Carson will love his RAC ability.
I agree with you. The 3rd round pick doesn't bother me that much. Granted it's a steep price for 8 games, but with the Eagles will be much better offensively and hopefully some of our guys will get healthy so we can defend our title.Tate is probably the most underrated wr in the league. You guys will love this half year and you might even sign him back.
I will try to find the link somewhere for a scenario in regard to resigning Tate and doing some restructuring to make the cap work. Seroous, Howie is one of the tops in the NFL at his game.The more I think about it, I am really excited to see what our offense can do the rest of the season. And, I won't put it past Howie to manage to extend him for a few more years, and still make room for Wentz. Several vets won't be back, and Howie can replace them with draftees. And, some of the vets can have their contracts restructured, which Howie is a master with.
