Seahawks | Offer to Golden Tate was laughable

Tue, 18 Mar 2014 16:05:42 -0700

Former Seattle Seahawks WR Golden Tate said the offer from the team to attempt to re-sign him was "laughable," and he ended up inking a five-year, $31 million deal with the Detroit Lions. "I didn't mean a 40 percent discount," Tate said. "I'm going to earn in one year at Detroit what Seattle was going to pay me for two years. Seattle offered numbers that were laughable. I thought, 'I've given you everything and this is what you give me?'"
