Yes, Golden Tate arrived because Odell Beckham Jr. was sent away.
No, Tate is not going to go down that road as far as stamping himself as Beckham’s replacement.
“Odell is a tremendous talent,’’ the newly signed Giants receiver said Friday. “He’s a buddy of mine. I enjoy watching him. I love his game. He’s just a complete receiver: He can run, he can run routes, he can catch, great personality, very likeable guy.’’
Tate is not breaking new ground here. The Giants did not ship Beckham to the Browns because they viewed him as anything other than an elite player.
