Golden Tate shares tense relationship between Carson Wentz and Nick Foles

Let's jump back into the time machine and look back at a moment most Philadelphia Eagles fans would like to forget: the year after the team won their first Super Bowl ever.

Former Eagles wide receiver Golden Tate appeared on the Bussin' With The Boys podcast, where he discussed some aspects of his career, including his very short time in Philadelphia. Eagles fans try to forget what has since been described as one of the worst trades in the last 10 years. The Detroit Lions traded Tate to the Eagles in exchange for a third-round pick.

Tate played eight regular-season games in Philadelphia, making 30 catches for 278 yards and one touchdown. His shining moment though was catching the game-winning touchdown with over a minute in the NFC Wild Card game against the Chicago Bears.

Although his time was brief and fleeting, Tate still has memories of his few months in Philadelphia. The standout moment? His quarterbacks, Carson Wentz and Nick Foles, had an awkward relationship that caused problems in the locker room.

Starting the conversation, Tate had described Wentz and Foles' relationship as they "tolerated" each other, but "were not best buds." That matches the descriptions given about their working relationship over the last few years.

Tate continued to talk about how Wentz would handle games when they ended versus Foles' demeanor.

"You know you had Carson who was after a good game he's reading to see what they were saying, but after a bad game, he's reading to see people absolutely s**t on him. I would walk up to him on the bus and I would see him like (slouch) to himself and I'm like 'bro it's alright bro. Like just bounce back.' And you have Foles who was like coming into the locker room. He spoke with everybody. I wouldn't get a single pass the entire game, but in the fourth quarter, he would make me think it was still coming. 'Hey Golden, stay ready, stay ready. I'm coming to you.'"

Tate has said that he was a part of Wentz's small group of teammates, as he felt that Wentz was particular about who he hung out with.

"I was apart of Carson's clique but it felt like with Carson, he had his four to five, six guys, offense, defense that he liked and he hung with and that was all that mattered. Right? Everyone else it felt like 'bro do you want to hang out with me or have a relationship, have lunch, dinner? Can we do something together?' That's just kind of the feel."
