Initial money ranges anywhere between 5k and 35k as a signing bonus and could be higher. 35k is the highest I have heard of. If the make the roster it is the league minimum which was around 275k a couple of years ago but has probably gone up since then.

Satema Gali made 165k on the practice squad of the Patriots when they won the SuperBowl he also recieved a 15k superbowl ring. Not a bad haul.

Tate was a good MWC caliber safety, but his numbers were inflated because the U LBs sucked ass the past two years. I must admit that his bright and shining moments against BYU last year are what I will remember him for. He was a serious lightning bolt for BYU fans. It is heartwarming to know that Curtis' final memory versus Tate's concerning the rivalry will be so different.

My point in general was that I thought Tate was a guy that had a motor to make it mostly on special teams. Do I think he is an NFL Safety? No, I don't. I agree that Parker, Revill, and others were better. I just thought that he had the kind of desire that could possibly get him a shot as a special teamer...that's all. I'm not expecting him to be John Lynch, just pulling for him to be successful, that's all.

But I hope he keeps trying. Such efforts will provide BYU fans more opportunities to pile on when he falls short.

As for Tate, I just know that he's a good guy. I won't let the last play against BYU distract from liking him. Unlike guys like Y'z guy, my self esteem doesn't rely on how an athlete plays. If it did, I would sing the praises of Cal Ripkin Jr. I'm seriously considering coming up your way this summer, if for no other reason than to shoot some nature with my camera. I need to get out and enjoy places other than my own backyard. If I do make it that way, can I buy you lunch? We can meet at the Ft. Hall Casino.
