Shortly after being traded to the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday afternoon, Golden Tate posted the following tweet:
WOW. Welcome to all my new @Eagles followers. NEED YOUR HELP. What do you guys think, do I roll with 1ufe0fu20e35ufe0fu20e3 ? Or new team, New Jersey number? #Help pic.twitter.com/ToAwwkuFIV

Unfortunately for Tate, keeping No. 15 wasn’t an option. That number has long been retired in honor of Pro Football Hall of Fame halfback Steve Van Buren.
