The top of the free agent slot-receiver crop is expected to be seeking between $10-14MM a year according to league sources, Yahoo Sports’ Terez A. Paylor tweets. 
That includes names like Golden Tate, who tallied 74 catches for 794 yards in 2018, and Adam Humphries, who enjoyed a breakout campaign 76 grabs for 816 yards with the Buccaneers.
It shouldn’t be too surprising those pass catchers will be looking to command that money. The prevalence and importance of the slot receiver is at an all-time high and doesn’t show any signs of slowing down soon.
Will they reach that mark?
Jarvis Landry set the high-water mark in the 2018 offseason, commanding a five-year, $75MM deal with the Browns. He, however, was coming off three consecutive Pro Bowl campaigns in which he logged at least 90 receptions each season. He also embraced a larger role on the boundary in his first season with the Browns.
While Tate is likely to set the bar this season, he will be 31 when the season kicks off in September. His previous deal also only paid him an average of $6.2MM a season. Humphries, on the other hand, will be 26 in 2019 and will be looking to sign his first big contract in the NFL. Though they will both outdo Tate’s previous contract, in average annual value, it remains to be seen if they could challenge that of Landry.
Tate has 2 choices in reality, sign for less with a true contender and lock in a playoff opportunity and depending on the team a basic lock for a super bowl chance, or go for the money and risk winning it all altogether. Let’s see what he decides on. And I could be wrong as a top contender could break the bank for him but at 31 that is very doubtful.
Already has the ring, he’ll probably go for the money.
He doesn’t have a ring
The 2013 Seahawks were a thing
Yes, he does.
Try again
If you click on his name it says he’s a champ.
Did the Seahawks not give him one?
Tate has said that he wants to play for New England.
He might get decent money but BB won’t give him huge money
He also said 5he same about Philly…
