Wide receiver Golden Tate has made no secret of his desire to sign a new contract with the Lions this offseason Ereck Flowers Jersey , but nothing has materialized to this point.

During an appearance on Sirius XM NFL Radio, Tate said that his greatest frustration with that state of affairs is that his age might be a factor in the team’s decision.

“The only thing that really bothers me with this contract is that now people are trying to use 29 going 30 against me and I don’t think that’s fair because I haven’t shown any decline,” Tate said.

Tate might not like that his age is part of the discussion, but those feelings aren’t likely to take the issue off the table. Whether it is the Lions or someone else, any long-term contract is going to be built around what Tate will do in the future and the possibility that his production will slip as the pages continue to flip on the calendar.

That said, Tate’s selling points of durability — he’s missed six games since entering the league in 2010 — and productivity — four straight years with at least 90 catches — should leave him well positioned if they remain in place through the coming season.

"I got a couple text messages, saying like, 'Blah, blah blah, blah Dan Feeney Jersey , blah,'" Marrone said. "And I'm just like, 'Hey, Doug won a Super Bowl. Doug did a great job of coaching. I'm sure there's a long line of people that have the same questions or feelings. It's just what you're going to do."

Then Marrone dropped this nugget: He said he read a book written by Mark Manson during the offseason that ended up on The New York Times Best Seller list. The title? "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a (expletive): A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life."

Marrone never mentioned the title of Manson's book in his response to a question about Pederson's book. But his message seemed clear.

Here's one to bookmark now: The Eagles and Jaguars play Oct. 28 in London, an opportunity for the coaches to discuss their philosophies face to face.

"So those things happen and that's it," Marrone said. "But I respect the hell out of him and his team and he won a Super Bowl, so. We lost Caleb Sturgis Jersey , and when you lose, you question everything so I don't have a problem with it."

In his book, Pederson said he watched the watched the game and was "screaming at the TV in my office" and thinking "you've got to be kidding me right now. It made me mad because Jacksonville had New England right where they wanted them."

The Patriots overcame a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat Jacksonville 24-20 and reach the Super Bowl. Pederson said Jacksonville's cautious approach "fueled me."

"They could have at least tried for a field goal," Pederson wrote. "They took it out of their quarterback's hands, and they didn't give to their big back Leonard Fournette. I thought, 'If they lose this game, this is why.' Sure enough they would go on to lose the game."

Two weeks later in the Super Bowl, Pederson's aggression helped the Eagles claim their first Lombardi Trophy.
