Is the time now to trade Tate?
With Arian's extension and Tate set to be a FA after next season, is the time now to trade him for a player, pick or the ability to move around in the draft? I'd be willing to bet he'll ask for more money than what the Texans are willing to pay when also factoring in Foster's money and Tate's playing time.
I know he had an off year this year - perhaps reducing his value - but he's still young and fresh and I would think there'd be some takers out there (perhaps ATL, NYG, NYJ, MIA, GB, STL, PIT,...). We have Forsett and can always draft another RB mid-to-late rounds or sign a FA. I saw a couple of mocks having us take Montee Ball or Andre Ellington in the 3rd or 4th round.
Just thinking draft and ways to get a player we want and/or improve the roster. Tate seems to be a logical trade-value player.
