Golden Tate | Page 2 | 49ers Webzone Forum

Right to the point....Would Golden Tate be a fit for the 49ers? 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?

I want Walter Thurmond off their roster. We need a Corner that can cover the slot with Carlos Rogers on the way out.

That would work, too.

Tate would be a good fit. The Niners need a burner at WR and somebody that is reliable in the return game. I can't stand him but I couldn't stand a lot of guys before they were Niners

No thanks, all their players will be overpaid as hell now. Tate is likely one of the guys that they retain, but I don't see the 49ers going for anyone on the free agent market that isn't found in the bargain bin.

Add all the WRs you want but if Kap is only lookin at Crabtree, he's gonna be irrelevant. Tate will just end up like Braylon Edwards, Moss, and now Manningham, an overhyped signing that will not meet our expectations. Sometimes I wonder if Boldin woulda ended up the same way if Crab never got hurt and they never built the chemistry.

The funny thing is, now Seattle has to pay both of those motherf**kers.

They're both free agents now.

Tate is better than Baldwin. You can't only base your analysis on the 3 games they played against us and the Super Bowl.

we wont be getting any of their FA's, their price tags all went up based off of the exposure they just got. look at what guys like soap and rjf were able to fetch off of our sb appearance.

Tate is a very good role-player. On paper, I like him quite a bit: extremely elusive/hard to bring down. Great punter returner. Pretty good receiver. Good run blocker. As a complete package, he's a very solid player. However, his attitude is awful -- he is incredibly smug. I wouldn't want him near this team.

I think that Seattle will let him go. I think he's gonna cost a decent amount, and I think him and Harvin are kind of redundant.

Baldin is a restricted free agent. So I assume they'll give him a high tender and he'll stay for another year at a reasonable salary. If someone else signs him, the Seahawks will get nice compensation for him.

If im not mistake, Kearse should be a free agent this year too. and I feel the team will probably endup releasing Sidney Rice.

Honestly, I would Not Mind the 49ers making a run at this guy Golden Tate. he's only 5'10 but he's smart, tough and has very sure hands and deceptive Speed. He would be a nice fit with the 49ers.
