“No question. When we made the trade, we were 4-4. We were looking for a spark,” Roseman said. “We were looking for more firepower on offense. When you talk about Golden, here is a guy who has incredible character, incredible production, can really fit any scheme. Everyone in this building was incredibly excited about adding him to our football team. We knew the price to pay. … We look back at our process, and I feel very good about our process.”

The acquisition certainly brought aboard another proven talent that made an impact on the passing game. It may not have been to the level of production for what they hoped as he had 30 catches for 278 receiving yards and a touchdown in eight games, but it helped further solidify their receiving core.

Tate has already voiced that he has a strong desire to stay with the Eagles. This may become a difficult task with him given that he’s expected to hit the open mark in free agency this upcoming offseason, where he could have plenty of interest around the league.

Nonetheless, this is a move that the Eagles have no regrets in making this past season.
