Joe Jets fan Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Tuesday was a relatively quiet day for the Jets and a totally silent one for wide receiver Eric Decker, but things could heat up on both fronts on Wednesday. Kim Jones of NFL Network reports that Decker will visit with the Jets on Wednesday and an aggressive offer from the Jets, who have plenty of money under the cap, could mean that it is the only visit that Decker makes. The Jets had a rotten receiving corps last season and Santonio Holmes has been jettisoned, leaving them in fairly desperate need of help at the position. The big question that they’ll have to answer is whether Decker will be as effective catching passes from Geno Smith or someone else the Jets bring in as he was catching passes from Peyton Manning with a ton of offensive talent around him. As the top wideout on the market — and highest remaining available player on PFT’s Hot 100 at No. 8 — Decker’s going to be paid like he can be that productive whether it is from the Jets or someone else. It’s a question that other receivers in Decker’s position have often failed to answer positively, but the Jets need help at the position badly enough to roll the dice that things break the other way.

Hopefully the wife convinces him to take what he's actually worth, so she can be the next Kardashian.

Smashmouth Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Shefter said this morning when asked how much Decker would command and he said 6-7 mil per actually he said north of 6 mil.

Better2bgreenthanblue Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Ok then. Overrated at $10 per, I like at number 2 money at $6 per. Would be thrilled at a. 5 year 30-35m deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets will probably have to be in the 5 year 35 mil range or slightly better maybe 40mil to keep Decker at the facility and not visit other teams. Im sure guaranteed money will play the biggest part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JET80TV Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 no news on sanders? id like to snag them both @ $6 million a yr or so. but of course we need a right tackle now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could get both Decker and Sanders to go with Kerley and Nelson.... if we could then add a 1st or 2nd round draft pick at WR... wow, we would finally have a nice group of receivers.

19andOhWait Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Decker combine profile from 2010: 40 time: 4.56 6'3, 217 Decker is a big receiver with small receiver skills. He is quicker than he is fast and while he has enough speed he is not the type that will take many all the way to the house at the next level. He runs crisp routes and will show a good short burst to separate from defenders but will struggle to maintain that separation. He is a natural receiver that has soft, sure hands and a wide receiving radius that allows him to extend to catch slightly off target throws. He missed the final four games of the regular season due to a foot injury but returned in time to play in the bowl game against Iowa State. STRENGTHS Decker possesses great size. Was extremely productive in college. Exhibits good quickness & agility which he uses to overcome lack of elite burst. Gets off the ball quickly and is a savvy route runner. Has excellent natural receiving skills. Goes and gets the football, displays great body control in the air and around the sidelines, and isn’t afraid to go over the middle. WEAKNESSES Lacks elite top end speed which could severely limit his big-play potential at the next level. Lacks a second gear to pull away from defenders after the catch or in and out of his breaks against a corner capable of mirroring him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19andOhWait Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 if you really care about his dime piece wife coming to town, get a hold of yourself. who cares. the real question is: product of system or is this guy a legit NFL playmaker? not sure i'm sold either way.

Patriot Killa Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I'm guessing Mclain isn't leaving Philly ? I would of liked to have his speed and knowledge of MM offense. He is a legit #2 but I think with the risk of a tore ACL. Sanders is the better pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some here were thinking more than that and those numbers are not bad at all If that report is anywhere near reality, I don't see the Jets letting him leave the facility. It sure is starting to sound like, especially given the complete lack of interest he drew yesterday, it was the media completely over-estimating his perceived value more than anything.

No matter where he's been, he's been productive. Productive in college, productive with Orton/Tebow and productive with Manning, but I'm just not going to take anything away from him for that. Relatively young, healthy... productive. That's what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jettington Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 This is only good news if we remember that he was a 3rd round pick that had his best success with Manning, then pay him accordingly. We might well find out that his 1,000 yard receiving years are a blip on the radar and with Geno he may have his ceiling at significantly less production.

Decker is WAY overrated but I think Idzik will sign him to a ridiculously over priced contract. Yeah, just what Geno needs, a slow white boy to throw to while he is busy getting sacked since he has no RG or RT. I am seriously reconsidering what I think about John Idzik. He does NOT have a feel for pro personnel. The Jets are back to full f@ck up mode and I am in full midseason pissed off mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What FA did we miss out on that would "vastly" improve our team? If we pull a Cleveland and sign Dansby and Whitner, are we suddenly a contender? Hell no.
