The Titans announced a number of roster moves today, including the release of Golden Tate from the practice squad. Meanwhile, defensive back Chris Jones and linebacker Joe Jones have been jettisoned from the 53-man roster.

Tate, once one of the league’s best wide receivers, has yet to see live action in 2021. After spending much of the year out of football, he inked a taxi squad deal with the Titans.
For one reason or another, the Hendersonville, Tennessee native wasn’t able to earn a promotion. From 2014-17 Tate had at least 1,000 yards in three of four seasons. His Giants tenure was less noteworthy, but he still managed 84 catches for 1,064 yards and eight touchdowns between 2019 and 2020. Now, at the age of 33 (34 in August), it’s possible that Tate has reached the end of the line.
In related moves, the Titans have also dropped defensive back Rodney Clemons and defensive back Shyheim Carter from the 16-man practice squad.
Bucs
I can definitely see that happening
I’m sure Russell Wilson is smiling
I don’t care who you are, that funny right there.
Did he storm of the field like AB?
Tate dropped too many passes to be a possession receiver, but he always was very good after the catch. As his speed went away and he seemingly gave less effort in New York, it’s not surprising that he couldn’t nab a promotion in my eyes. Tennessee already has a veteran wideout in Jones, so Tate’s veteran experience is not really necessary.
Some players just don’t know when to hang up the cleats
you say that after the dude was employed by a team just hours ago? doesnt make sense if an NFL team – a contender at that – believes he can be of value to them.
You say that as if he played a single snap for Tennessee. He didn’t.
If he had a different build he’d actually be a solid backup RB.
Colts could use some him. He may not be amazing but the bar is super low in indy for WR.
If that picture of him tossing a football like my daughter.Is any indication of what’s left in the tank.Then you get the picture
Wonder if Ramsey can get him some work like Odel?
Were his golf clubs released from the practice squad locker room as well?
