Former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Golden Tate is back in the Pacific Northwest, but not to re-sign with the Seahawks, or to even play football.
Tate’s next phase of life as a professional athlete is as a baseball player. He’s signed a contract with the Port Angeles Lefties of the West Coast League. Tate is expected to play as a center fielder as soon as this Tuesday evening against the Bend Elks. The WCL is reserved for players who have had at least one year of college under their belt and at least a year of eligibility left, in which case Tate qualifies since he went to the NFL Draft as a junior.
