Golden Tate’s tenure with the team will likely come to an end this season or this offseason. On Saturday, it was reported that Giants WR Golden Tate won’t travel with the team to Washington for their Week 9 game.

According to the report, the decision was made to leave Tate behind due to overall issues with his effort and performance.

This is punishment for Golden Tate’s tumultuous week, which included him screaming for the ball (on camera) Monday night and an Instagram post from his wife that was critical of how he was being used. https://t.co/0qUDREZfN2
