Seattle Seahawks
On April 23, 2010, Tate was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the second round (60th overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft.[24] On July 28, 2010, Tate signed a four-year deal with the Seahawks worth $3.261 million.[25][26]
2010 season: Rookie year
On September 19, Tate made his NFL debut and had a 52-yard reception against the Denver Broncos.[27] During his rookie season in 2010, Tate caught 21 passes for 227 receiving yards. In addition, he returned 16 punts and a kickoff for 212 total combined return yards.[28]
2011 season
In 2011, Tate recorded 35 catches for 382 receiving yards and three touchdowns.[29]
2012 season
On August 24 during a Week 3 pre-season game against the Kansas City Chiefs in Kansas City, Tate returned one punt 92 yards for a touchdown as the Seahawks won the exhibition game 44-14.[30]
During the replacement referee controversy[31] at the beginning of the 2012 NFL season, the Seahawks won a controversial game against Green Bay in Week 3, in which Tate simultaneously caught a pass in the endzone with Packers' safety M. D. Jennings. According to NFL rules, simultaneous possession goes to the offense. In Week 10 against the New York Jets, Tate recorded his first passing touchdown to Sidney Rice on a receiver reverse pass.[32] In 15 games, Tate made 45 receptions for 688 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. He also made 51 punt returns along with three kickoff returns for 642 total combined return yards.[33]
2013 season
Golden Tate vs. the Rams in 2013
Tate had a breakout season with the Seahawks in 2013. In addition to improving all of his receiving statistics, Tate expanded his role by taking punt-receiving duties. He made some spectacular plays, notably a one-handed catch against the Atlanta Falcons as well as a crucial 71-yard punt return against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, that highlighted his athleticism and special abilities.[34] In the game against the Buccaneers, he earned NFC Special Teams Player of the Week.[35] Pete Carroll, the Seahawks head coach, said that he would not coach anyone else to do what Tate can do.[36] During Week 7 against the St. Louis Rams, Tate was flagged for taunting following an 80-yard touchdown reception. Carroll chastised Tate after the penalty. On November 2, 2013, Tate was fined $7,875 for his taunting penalty. In the final game of the regular season, Tate produced one of his best games of the year, recording eight catches for 129 yards and a touchdown in another game against the St. Louis Rams. Again, Russell Wilson threw a deep pass of 47 yards to Tate who caught the ball, and ran it for a touchdown similar to Week 7, minus the taunt, as the Seahawks won by a score of 27-9.[37] Tate went on to win Super Bowl XLVIII over the Denver Broncos as a member of the Seahawks. In the 43–8 victory, Tate had three receptions for 17 yards.[38]
Detroit Lions
2014 season
Golden Tate with the Lions in 2014
On March 12, 2014, Tate signed a five-year, $31 million contract with the Detroit Lions. The deal included $13.25 million guaranteed.[39] With new quarterback Matthew Stafford, he set a career-high in receptions with 99, sixth highest in the NFL, and receiving yards with 1,331, seventh highest in the NFL.[40][41] On January 19, 2015, Tate was selected to the 2015 Pro Bowl, his first Pro Bowl appearance.[42] He was ranked 85th by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2015.[43]
2015 season
Tate and the Lions struggled in the first half of the season but gained momentum in the second half. Tate scored two touchdowns each in Weeks 14 and 15, against the St. Louis Rams and New Orleans Saints, to bring his season touchdown total to six.[44] Overall, he finished the 2015 season with 90 receptions for 813 yards and six touchdowns.[45]
2016 season
In a Week 9 game against the Minnesota Vikings, the Detroit Lions stormed back with 23 seconds left in regulation to tie the game at 16–16. On the first drive of overtime, Detroit marched down the field into field goal range. On 3rd down and long, Stafford threw a pass to Tate. He "flipped in" for the touchdown to give the Lions a 22–16 comeback win in overtime.[46] Tate finished the 2016 season with 91 receptions for 1,077 yards and four touchdowns.[47] He eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark for the second time in his career and the 90-reception mark for the third time in his career. Tate's 676 yards after the catch ranked highest among NFL wide receivers that season.[48]
2017 season
On September 10, 2017, Tate made his season debut against the Arizona Cardinals. In the 35–23 victory, he recorded his 12th career game with at least 100 receiving yards.

2018 season

Philadelphia Eagles
On October 30, 2018, Tate was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a third-round selection in the 2019 NFL Draft.[54] Overall, he had 74 receptions for 795 yards and four touchdowns.[55] On January 6, 2019 in the Wild Card Round against the Chicago Bears, Tate made the clutch game-winning touchdown catch on fourth down on a ball thrown by quarterback Nick Foles.[56] The catch helped the Eagles advance onto the divisional round against the New Orleans Saints. In the 20-14 loss, he had two receptions for 18 yards.[57]
New York Giants
On March 14, 2019, Tate signed a four-year, $37.5 million contract with the New York Giants that includes $23 million fully guaranteed.[58]
