Ward played well in the backup role last year. I'd rather cut Slaton. He did absolutely nothing last year.
Tate is money...he's exactly what I was hoping for last season. He has good vision, he can change direction on a dime, he has a quick burst, and he's tough as balls to bring down.
I hope Tate doesn't plan on making that his trademark TD celebration. Tate reminds me of Lorenzo White.
