Seattle Seahawks

On April 23, 2010, Tate was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the second round (60th overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft. [26] On July 28, 2010, Tate signed a four-year deal with the Seahawks worth $3.261 million. [27] He made his NFL debut on September 19 and had a 52-yard reception against the Denver Broncos. [28] During his rookie season, he caught 21 passes for 227 receiving yards and returned 16 punts and a kickoff for 212 total combined return yards. [29] The following year, he recorded 35 catches for 382 receiving yards and three touchdowns. [30]

At the beginning of the 2012 NFL season, Tate gained notoriety for being involved in a controversial ending during a game against the Green Bay Packers on September 24, 2012, which became infamous due to the confused ruling by replacement referees. [31] At the end of the game, Tate simultaneously caught a pass in the endzone with Packers safety M. D. Jennings; however, the officials made opposite rulings on the field. The official call was later ruled a touchdown, as according to NFL rules, simultaneous possession goes to the team on offense. The Seahawks won the game 14–12 in what is considered one of the most debated endings in NFL history. [32]

Tate had a breakout year in 2013, improving significantly in all receiving statistics, with 72 receptions for 959 yards, and had an expanded role in returning punts. He was simultaneously an exciting player and a controversial one. During a week 8 game in St. Louis, Tate flashed his middle finger at Rams cornerback Janoris Jenkins following a failed interception on the pass, whilst he returned the ball for a touchdown. [33] As a result he was fined $7,785 by the NFL for excessive taunting. [34] A week later, he was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week after playing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9. [35] As one of quarterback Russell Wilson's favorite targets, Tate went on to win a Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks in their 43–8 victory over Peyton Manning's Denver Broncos. [36]

Detroit Lions

Following the 2013 season, Tate signed a five-year, $31 million contract with the Detroit Lions, which included $13.25 million guaranteed. [37] Alongside All-Pro receiver Calvin Johnson, he quickly became a key receiving target for quarterback Matthew Stafford. In his first season with the Lions, he had a then career-high 99 receptions, which was sixth highest in the NFL, and had 1,331 receiving yards, seventh highest in the NFL. [38] [39] He was selected to the 2015 Pro Bowl, which marked his first career Pro Bowl appearance, [40] and was later ranked 85th by his fellow league players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2015 list. [41]

Although Tate did not make the Pro Bowl again with the Lions, his subsequent seasons with them were statistically successful. In 2015 he recorded 90 receptions for 813 yards and six touchdowns. [42] His 2016 season saw him eclipse the 1,000-yard receiving mark for the second time in his career and the 90-catch mark for the third time in his career, [43] and his 676 yards-after-catch statistic ranked highest among NFL wide receivers that season. [44] He finished the 2017 season with 92 receptions for 1,003 yards and five touchdowns, making back-to-back seasons where he had more than 1,000 receiving yards. [45]

Philadelphia Eagles

Tate was a mid-season trade in 2018 from the Detroit Lions to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a third-round selection in the 2019 NFL draft. [46] Overall, he had 74 receptions for 795 yards and four touchdowns. [47] In the Wild Card Round against the Chicago Bears on January 6, 2019, he made the game-winning touchdown catch on fourth down on a pass thrown by quarterback Nick Foles. [48] The catch helped the Eagles advance to the Divisional Round against the New Orleans Saints, where Tate had two catches for 18 yards in a 20–14 loss. [49]

New York Giants

After the 2018 season ended, Tate signed a four-year, $37.5 million contract with the New York Giants that included $23 million guaranteed. [50] He was later suspended for the first four games of the upcoming 2019 season for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances. [51] Tate subsequently appealed the suspension on the grounds that the substance was prescribed fertility medication. [52] The appeal was denied by the NFL and Tate was eventually reinstated on September 30. [53] He finished the 2019 season with 49 receptions for 676 receiving yards and six receiving touchdowns. [54]

On October 4, 2020, following a 17–9 Week 4 loss against the Los Angeles Rams, a fight broke out between Tate and his sister’s ex-boyfriend Jalen Ramsey due in part to Ramsey’s comments against Tate’s sister Breanna. Ramsey has two children with Tate's sister. [55] Tate was not fined for his role in the postgame fight. [56] In Week 8 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football, Tate threw one pass for 18 yards and recorded two catches for 31 yards and a touchdown during the 25–23 loss. [57] After Tate caught the aforementioned touchdown, he yelled "Throw me the ball!" at a camera. After the game, Tate's wife made posts on social media complaining about his lack of involvement in the Giants' offense. Tate also liked a tweet suggesting that the Giants should cut him. Tate was benched by the Giants for their Week 9 game against the Washington Football Team as a result of his actions. [58] He finished the 2020 season with 35 receptions for 388 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns. [59]

On March 4, 2021, Tate was released by the Giants. [60]

Tennessee Titans

Tate signed with the Tennessee Titans' practice squad on November 23, 2021. [61] He was released on January 4, 2022. [62]
