GREENBEAN Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Except it doesn't because we already have Kerley for the slot and Edelman is going to miss Tom Brady more than Decker will miss Manning. There is no reason that Edleman and Kerley can't exist on the same field at the same time. Welker and Edleman did it for a while to positive results. We haven't had a legit punt returner here in a long time either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSJ Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I would love for thr Jets to sign Edleman. Takes care of a WR position and a legit punt returner. I agree, Edelman would be a great signing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSJ Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Besides Jones and/or Edelman, this WR corp could really use a small, quick WR who can take the top off the defense or take a screen to the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 20 catches with Timmy. Exactly. In what, 11.5 games? Had that amount in the first 4 games with Orton to begin the season. We'll see. Having not just Manning, but also Thomas being their #1 and drawing attention as such, plus Welker & Julius last year, clouds what he'd be without any of them.

JustInFudge Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I'm still wait and see with him (other than his being an obvious upgrade to the Jets.) But even that Orton + Tebow season was year 2 of his career. Not generally a WR's career season. For what they paid, they can afford another veteran and go into the draft with some flexibility. I like the signing. Didnt break the bank, he's a big athletic target who can make big plays and still allows them to add more weapons for Geno.

jack48 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Geno should be better than both next year. I am tired of all this Manning made Decker stuff. It is like Manning was completing passes to Decker when Decker was not even open. He had to be open to get passes from Peyton. We are paying him to get open. If Geno does not find him where Peyton could, that is not a knock on Eric. It does not mean Decker was a bad signing. And to be fair to Geno, the word "suck" does not nearly describe our receiving corps last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 GAyno... I get it! Gay slurs and doesn't like the WR because he's white. Next thing you know he'll start saying only bad things about the black QB. Oh, wait. Never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgb Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 And... Here it is: Rich Cimini @RichCimini 1m Quick thought: Decker a good No. 2 WR. No Peyton, no Demaryius Thomas to help him out. Jets overpaid, but needed the upgrade. #Jets That's Stevie Johnson money--19th highest salary on a per year basis. Number 18 is Colston and number 20 is hartline. That's is nowhere near an overpay. Decker is right around where he should be, maybe even a little low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREENBEAN Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I agree, Edelman would be a great signing as well. And it would hurt the butt holes of the Pats and their fans. I like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj meadowlands Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 In a vacuum I don't like this move. I'm not a Decker fan. Never have been. Think he's soft in press coverage and has the dropsies. BUT. If we can get another FA in here at $3-4 million (Jones / Finley / maybe Sanders), AND use a 1/2 rd pick on a guy like Lee or Cooks... then I'll revisit...

JustInFudge Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 what Peyton does great is find the open man. We signed the open man Manning's amazing and can throw people open but Decker has proven to produce with other QB's...even at the college ranks. He's a solid player, maybe not an All-Pro but plenty of teams have done very well with less at WR than Decker. At the end of the day, the Jets a team desperate for weapons got the consensus best WR in FA for a relative bargain. People can worry all they want about him being the #1 option without Manning throwing to him but this is exactly what the Jets needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just amused because as I said early on, Jets were either going to suck for letting him get away or suck for overpaying him. Just like they suck because the CB from the Bucs is now on the Pats.

It'd be great to have a Calvin Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald, but those guys have something in common... No championships. Just like most of the big name WRs in the league today and recently. I may be forgetting someone, but I think the best WR with a ring in recent history is Reggie Wayne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj meadowlands Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 So you don't like decker move but if the jets sign James jones suddenly you do? Uh ok Is it that hard for you to compute lawyer boy? If we stop at Decker and are relying on him to be our #1, then this move sucks. But if we draft Marqise Lee with an eye toward him being the franchise #1, and supplement both of those guys with another solid FA like Jones, then suddenly the corps is not only NFL caliber, but somewhat dynamic.

Just like most of the big name WRs in the league today and recently. I may be forgetting someone, but I think the best WR with a ring in recent history is Reggie Wayne. Pretty much. I mean, the Giants had Nicks and Cruz...nice combo. The Packers with Jordy and Jones, nice combo but none are All-Pro's. The other common thing with those names, they dont see FA. Its clear that Idzik isnt interested in over investing on one skill set or the other but rather finding solid players at great cost so he can add talent all over the field.
