Golden Tate had a message for the entire organization. "I challenged every man in here, coaches, trainers, fan base, players obviously, to go have the best offseason of your life," Tate said. "We see how close we are as a community and that should encourage. Yeah, this season is over and it's tough to swallow right now but, hey, the Detroit Lions are not done. We're going to go out there and have a heck of an offseason and come back and be ready and be focused. This could be the start of something great, I think."
