It hasn’t been long since news dropped that Howie Roseman pulled off a trade to bring in wide receiver Golden Tate for a third round draft pick, and as BLG pointed out, it’s either an expensive short-term rental, or potentially costly long-term pickup.
“A third-round pick for Tate is a significant cost for a rental. The veteran pass catcher is set to be a free agent after this season. It’s possible the Eagles could re-sign him, but Philadelphia might just opt to let him walk and hope he signs a big contract with another team in order to acquire a 2020 compensatory draft pick.
