The Eagles acquired Golden Tate from the Detroit Lions on Tuesday before the NFL trading deadline. It's an agreement that has immediate implications for the Eagles' offensive and prospects for the rest of the season, but it's also a decision that will affect many other areas of operations. of the team.
Primarily, everything in executive vice president of football operations Howie Roseman.
We have already covered the salary cap.
Let's see where the Eagles are in terms of draft picks over the next two seasons.
Tate's business
The Eagles acquired Tate in exchange for their third-round pick in 2019.
Was it too much?
It's probably a debate for another day, but Roseman made it clear that he was trying to win now. Or continue to win now.
This is not a franchise that is resting on the laurels of a Super Bowl title. Although the Rams and Saints seem to be pioneers in the NFC, the addition of the Tate – one of the most productive NFL receivers in the past five years – puts the combination of receivers and tight ends of the NFL Eagles tied. with each team in the league.
The third round choice was a high cost for a 30 year old in the last year of his contract. This could only become an eight-game rental (plus the playoffs).
But it's still better value than the Cowboys who have negotiated a first-round pick for Amari Cooper.
