As the Lions sink to 3-6 in the cellar of the NFC North, Golden Tate is preparing to suit up for the Eagles on Sunday Night Football. He's even more excited than you are.
Tate, 30, is in a contract year and has one of the game's best QBs throwing to him. He also goes from a situation where he would be playing meaningless football into the heat of a division title hunt.
His posts on social media show just how excited he is to be Golden Tate, Philadelphia Eagles WR.
He started with these posts right when he got traded.

Finally, Tate also took time to comment on the Eagles Instagram on a photo of Alshon Jeffery with 27 eagle emojis.
Yeah, you may be excited, but it's safe to say, so is Tate. We'll see if he can come close to the eight-catch, 132-yard, two-touchdown effort he had a few weeks ago in Dallas.
