Golden Tate is scheduled to make a base salary of $7 million in the final year of the five-year, $31 million contract he signed with the Detroit Lions in free agency in 2014.

However, the two sides have had no "substantive contract talks."

"Right now I'm just kind of focusing on getting to know coach [Matt] Patricia and showing up to work ready to work every day so he gets a feel for my type of personality, what I'm going to bring to this team," Tate said.

"I'm trying not to worry about it too much. Obviously, we all know that I'd love to get something done, but I go into each year just trying to prove myself because there's a new batch of guys that are probably coming in to try to take my job."
