We went after Rio in 2011, a WR who was cast aside by his team and he was MODERATELY successful with us before being injured. I posted that NFL talking heads are saying Tate may be in similar situation, cast aside to make room for huge deals for Earl Thomas, Sherman, and even Wilson.
We could potentially be looking for anything from a #2 (if Boldin isn't retained) to a #4 (if we lose Boldin and/or draft a WR to compete with Patton). I believe that Tate may find the market to be quite soft and could do fairly well for us, especially if we are using him as stop gap to let Patton and likely another rookie develop.
Thoughts on him as possibly Niner?
