If Adam Jones were coming back then they'd be fine with a newbie as the returner. I think that's pretty simple and pretty obvious actually.
Tate wasn't going to get any serious interest from other teams, so why would you lock this guy up?
Look, rosters spots are valuable. There's only 53 of them and only 46 can dress for a game. So why spend one on a guy like Tate unless you already know your All-Pro returner ain't gonna be back?
They wouldn't be fine with a rookie as a returner if Adam Jones was back. Tate has manned the primary returner spot for years now not Jones. Jones came in on selected occasions him or Tate re-signing here wouldn't change that. They have been reluctant on giving Tate the boot for years because of his experience. It seems like an overreaction because there isn't anything that supports your claim.
