Does Pete Carroll ever allow himself to regret losing Golden Tate? "Yeah, I liked him a lot," he said. "Sometimes you just can't get it done and it just doesn't fit. I don't mind saying that. I think Golden's a great player. I've loved the way he plays." Tate's free-agent departure in 2014 came a year after the Seahawks paid a huge price in draft picks and salary to acquire another receiver, Percy Harvin, which likely sealed Tate's fate in Seattle. He topped 1,000 yards in three of his first four seasons in Detroit. Carroll added: "We just couldn't get it done at the time."
