Brandon Tate May Be Odd Man Out in New England

A year ago at this time, there were hopes Brandon Tate would be the missing piece to the Patriots offense. He turned out to be an effective kick returner and an ineffective No. 3 receiver.

Now we’re not even sure if he’ll even remain with the Patriots.

Second year player Taylor Price has outplayed Tate in camp by all accounts. Price got snaps with Tom Brady Saturday night, but Tate did not.

We should be first on the waiver wire if he gets waived. Brandon Tate could make for an interesting addition to our roster corps, which, let's face it, isn't very deep.

Plus, he's a decent kick returner.

Thoughts?

Sure he never made huge numbers in the Pats' offense, but, look at their offense. For part of the time Tate was there, he had to share catches with Moss, Welker, Hernandez, Gronkowski, Branch, Woodhead, Green-Ellis, etc. There's a lot of receivers on the team, so, receivers past #1 or #2 aren't going to have huge numbers.

Also, I think that he could replace Pilares/Edwards instantly. He's young, still, and could develop into a nice wide receiver at some point. Next year, we could have a wide out corps of Smith, Gettis, LaFell, Tate, Naanee, Pilares... Think about that for a minute.

KR isn't a reason to bring anyone in. 90% of them are going to be TBs anyway. the rest....it just won't matter.

i don't see him as being much of an improvement over who we have on the roster, and that isn't saying that they are anything particularly special either.

only way we bring a new WR is if he's a special talent. i just don't see that happening.

i'd rather be focusing on shoring up the OL, improving DT, and above all getting someone worth a crap in at CB.

      Maxx Cosby deal with Ravens off.

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Having trouble finding all these articles saying the Raiders withheld information. Here’s the latest from Crosby’s surgeon: ElAttrache told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday morning that Crosby was "doing very well in the early part of his rehab and recovery from surgery to treat a significant meniscus tear and the related stress injury to the bone and cartilage in his knee. He is certainly on track in his planned program." "We truly respect the work of the Ravens' staff with Maxx regarding the contract physical exam. We also understand the challenge the staff faces when tasked to provide a future risk assessment based on an evaluation early in the recovery process," ElAttrache said. "This is especially challenging when dealing with an elite player like Maxx considering the level of commitment necessary for a team to obtain him. The timing of this assessment is unfortunate because the apparent risk will lessen as his recovery progresses and his return to performance over the next few months becomes clear."     So the Ravens excuse is the future risk assessment based on the physical, not that the Raiders withheld information. They found an excuse to save face publicly. They had the right to cancel the trade for no reason at all, but they’re trying to save face with the most acceptable reasoning they can find. I’ve heard and seen the Ravens getting dragged everywhere for this. You know what would be an easy way to put a stop to that if you’re the Ravens and the Raiders were actually the shady ones withholding information? Just come out and say that you were not given all the medical information. But they aren’t saying that. I guess they’re just taking the bullet for the Raiders just because?    Speculation indeed.

      Two first round picks for a guy with very questionable knees who will be 29 this summer. Yes it is safe to say the Ravens got cold feet.
