A few teams have wanted to trade for #Lions WR Golden Tate for a while. Sounds like they are making their move now...

Tate to Patriots for a 4th.

*edit* Prediction

Tate to Patriots for a 4th.

is that a guess or is it news?

A guess, sorry. I would've included a link.

 

[tomdalton22]

Tate straight up for Kyle Van Noy

 

[Mitchrapp]

So they're giving up already?

 

[Mitchrapp]

Doesn't sound like it's coming from Detroit at all..

 

[Mitchrapp]

Tate for Ebron ;-)

10-6 probably wins the North. 11-5 if the Vikings or Packers reach 10 wins.

With games @Vikings, @Bears, @Packers, Rams, and Panthers, I don't see them realistically finishing 7-2 or even 6-3. After that gutless performance vs Seattle at Ford Field, I have to imagine the front office realizes this. This Sunday was a must win game.

I agree 100% but if I say it I'm not a fan apparently. But generally teams don't make trades when they're a game out. And they always fool us.. They're win some games and then lose to Arizona.

With as little as this team has given us over the last couple decades, anyone that even remotely follows them should be considered a fan.

I think it helps a bit that WR production hasn't been a problem. So giving up Tate, who is likely gone anyways, doesn't hurt as much in the unlikely event that the Lions make a real run at the division.

Lions haven’t lost in Vikings new stadium
Won2 of 3 in lambeau last 3 years and beat packers already
Lions playing up to competition. Beat pats so beating rams and panthers o the table
Bears are not that good

We will see if they put it together. Only 2 more losses allowed

Yes. Might as well get something.

I agree at times they play up to their competition but they also play down to their competition. We lost to the 49'ers. Their only win.. Worse than the Jets game.

Trade him to the Cowboys for a 1st

He?s twice the WR Roy E. Williams was.

2 firsts!

Yes. In fairness they probably would have a win or two more with a healthy Jimmy G., though.

A rental, unless the team he gets traded to does so in order to also sign him before he hits FA.

Could you imagine all the first down celebrations going on in Dallas if Roy and Zeke played together. Just amazing!!
