JetNation Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 By Glenn Naughton Days after news broke of the Jets intentions to trade or release wide receiver Eric Decker, insider Albert Breer claims the Baltimore Ravens have been talking to the Jets about acquiring the 6′ 3” Decker. Per sources, Jets have had trade talks with the Ravens and others on Eric Decker. Decker remains on the Jets roster, per the league wire. — Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) June 8, 2017 After a sensational 2015 in which Decker caught 80 passes for 1,027 yards and 12 touchdowns, he would go on to miss the final 13 games of a nightmare season in 2016. Decker is unlikely to net the Jets anything more than a late-round draft choice, or a conditional mid-rounder. Click here to read the full story...

BurnleyJet Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 A bag of twinkies at best, since they telegraphed the move. Personally I think Woody is back to his meddling ways again. He's decided Bowles and Maccagnan are gone after 17, and he's full on for the Tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Maccagnan: Gosh, it'll be tough, but I'll part with Decker for a...second rounder. [bites fist] Ozzie: No. M: A third? O: No. M: Two fifths? O: No. M: We give you Decker, you give me, like, four sevenths. O: How about you give me Decker and a third rounder and I give you nothing? M: That's outrageous! O: Fine. Give me Decker and a fourth.

ASH1962 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I sure am glad we announced that Decker would be released (if we could not find a trade partner). That sure increases the chances of getting something back. Is there anything this organization does correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um...no, not in June, no I do not. But I can guarantee that we will get nothing for him now that the whole NFL knows our intentions to release him. Same with Sheldon, we were desperate to trade him and now everyone knows he will be unrestricted next year and can be had for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been out there for months that this was going to happen once he passed his physical. "Also do not be surprised if Eric Decker, who is rehabbing from hip and shoulder surgeries, is also cut this offseason if/when he passes his physical, a source says." http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/jets/jets-release-wr-brandon-marshall-article-1.2987588 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, letting the league know that there is a chance to grab Decker for a 6th or conditional 5th or 6th, might just do the trick because any team that wants him might worry about some other team getting him if he's available as a FA? Any team that waits for his release risks another team grabbing him and negotiating a new contract beyond 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyLV Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 If we can get a fifth or better it is a great deal. He has little trade value but if Baltimore really wants him then a fourth is not unreasonable. Just no Vilma language, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right because no GM could have imagined the rebuilding jets would try to move Decker. You guys act as if this a public Yahoo fantasy league and all the other teams are run by 12 year olds willing to give up draft picks for David Harris if only we asked nicely.

I don't think no ones giving up any thing for Harris, he's old and slow (never fast), now just a two down thumper. Decker I think with the reactions of the both Bowles and Macc was a shock to them both, I smell some Woody meddling. They could have said nothing about Decker, but they chose to say they are parting ways. Although he's still here (yet). The Ravens makes so much sence, they may even just wait till we cut him?

Depends if there is more then one team interested. Decker is still fairly young, and seemed totally recovered in the OTA's. Think there might be some interest there.

Dcat Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 A team that trades for Decker gets him for 2017 at $7.25M and 2018 for $7.5M with no dead cap if cut after 2017. If Decker plays well in '17, they got him on the hook for 2018 at a reasonable price. If they keep him for those 2 years at those prices and then let him go as a UFA, then that would increase their eligibility for a comp pick too. On the other hand, a team that picks up Decker as a FA (after the Jets cut him this week) would have to negotiate a deal, which will likely have a meaningful signing bonus along with significant amount of guaranteed money for a player coming off injuries and surgeries and could wind up costing more than the $7.25M with a no-risk option for 2018. I can easily see why a trade could be more appealing to an interested team than waiting for the Jets to cut him. In fact, the trade would probably cost a team considerably less and with ZERO guaranteed money than getting him as a FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I don't know for sure, but I don't think this is a Woody move at all. IMO he's totally handed the reins over to Macc, and told him to get a QB, and rebuild the team no matter what it takes. This is all going to make or break Macc's career. if he hit's on a franchise QB in 18, he'll be a legend around here. If he misses, his career is probbly over.

We'll be lucky to get a 6th or 7th rounder for him. At least that's something. I hope Decker nets 1000+ yds. this year. Can't tell you how disgusted I am this week with the Decker and Harris moves. This is one of the truly lowest of the low points for me as a NYJ fan. And I've been a fan for almost 50 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
