Wide receiver Golden Tate will be a free agent in March, and he already has his eyes set on a potential destination: the New England Patriots.
“Man, I would love it,” Tate said on The Prostyle Podcast when asked about possibly signing with the Patriots. “I would love it. That organization, they've proven to be champions year in and year out. They work hard, for sure. But you know where you're going to be at the end of the season. You're going to be looking at not going to the playoffs, but you're going to be looking at maybe a first-round bye, which is key.”
Tate split the 2018 campaign between the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles, hauling in 74 receptions for 795 yards and four touchdowns in what was his least productive season since 2012.
But perhaps Tate would be a bit more productive if Tom Brady were his quarterback.
“You gotta admire that organization. They do things right,” added Tate. “They've been doing it for a long, long, long time. So, I'd definitely love to be a part of something like that and catch a few passes from ol' Tommy Boy. Julian is a buddy of mine. I'm real good buddies with him and I've heard good things. Kyle Van Noy, who got traded from Detroit and has been there and has been balling out since, has said great things about the organization. I definitely would not mind going over there for sure.”
Tate entered the NFL with the Seattle Seahawks in 2010. He spent the first four years of his career with the Seahawks, winning a Super Bowl during the 2013-14 campaign before making his way to the Lions, where he made one Pro Bowl.
