New York Giants must have ‘next man up’ mentality with Golden Tate out

Throughout training camp, Golden Tate has shown everything the New York Giants were expecting when they signed him to a four-year, $37.5 million contract in the offseason.

He’s has shown that despite being 31, he is still a quick and crisp route runner with reliable hands. He also developed a nice rapport with quarterback Eli Manning.

But on Tuesday, an independent arbitrator denied Tate’s appeal of his four-game suspension for the performance-enhancing substance Clomiphene. Tate was using this substance as he and his wife were trying to have another child. Clomiphene can increase sperm count and testosterone in men.
