Yesterday, the Seattle Seahawks traded Percy Harvin to the New York Jets for a conditional pick. While the news came as a shock to many people, reports surfaced a few hours after the deal regarding Harvin's behavioral issues. It is believed that in the week prior to this year's Super Bowl, Percy gave then-teammate Golden Tate a black eye.  

During the offseason, Tate decided to ink a deal with the Detroit Lions, instead of re-signing with the Seahawks. Did Harvin's attitude play a big role in Tate's decision? One can't help but wonder. Anyway, here's something to chew on.

When the 26-year-old was acquired by the Jets, check out the message Tate retweeted:

Then, Golden followed up with this Instagram post a short time later: 


Here's Tate, probably sipping tea with his girlfriend and Lions teammate Joique Bell... but that's none of my business. 

Good work, Tate. Subtle yet effective. We tip our cup to you.
