kelly Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Eric Decker could join the exodus of Jets veterans Posted by Josh Alper on March 3, 2017, 8:24 AM EST Getty Images Brandon Marshall joined Nick Mangold, Darrelle Revis and others on the Jets’ discard pile on Thursday and the team’s culling of veterans after a dismal 2016 season may not be complete.Marshall’s running mate at wideout Eric Decker could join them on the chopping block. Manish Mehta and John Healy of the New York Daily News report that it won’t be a surprise if Decker is released upon passing a physical this offseason. Dropping Decker from the roster would save the Jets $5.75 million under the cap. When a physical might happen is unclear as Decker is recovering from hip and shoulder surgeries that are expected to keep him on the sideline through much or all of the team’s offseason work.Whether his absence turns out to be permanent or temporary, the Jets are going to be giving young receivers like Robby Anderson, Quincy Enunwa, Devin Smith, Charone Peaks and Jalin Marshall plenty of opportunities in an offseason of major change. > http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/03/03/eric-decker-could-join-the-exodus-of-jets-veterans/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what happens when you release your #1 WR and your #2 WR spends a 3rd of his Jets career on the injury list. Truth be told, even if they cut Decker that group of WR's is much better than what the heck we had in 2013/14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's me, I cut just about every offensive starter that the cap would allow. Forgetting the fact that we're talking about Geno Smith, these players allowed a defensive backup to injure their starting QB and did nothing about it .

I can only wish and hope we do this. It's time the jets drafted within and win like a true champion Now you are seeing it. Not sure the Jets do but you do. The plan should be to trade down for a first next year and either a first or second this year depending on who we trade with. If its a team after 15 we go for the two firsts but if its a team with a pick from 8-15 we go for the second this year and first next. Of course, this isn't automatic and we might have to wait for the draft to play out in the beginning but it is very feasible. Case in point - Tennessee needs an ILB and a top WR. They have the 5th pick which they could use on WR Williams or Davis. Then with our 6th they could grab ILB Foster - a major stud. They are instantly favorites in their division and we would get their 18th this year and first next year. Next we trade Richardson for anything up to a 3rd round pick. Very doable although not a guarantee. The free agent market for corners and safeties is very advantageous this year. With the release of Decker, Gilchrist, Sefarian Jenkins and Harris and the trade of Richardson we would have $60 million. We could easily buy either CB's Bouye, Gilmore or Ryan plus S Jefferson and still have money left over for a stop gap QB and $25 million in the bank unused. We would then have 5 picks in the first 3 rounds. I would look to draft TE Adam Shaheen in the 3rd unless he moves up boards earlier. With the other 4 picks I look for oline, OLB, another CB and a WR like the Taylor kid from Western Kentucky. In the 5,6 and 7 rounds we hope for the best with oline, RB or whatever. That leaves us with 2 first round draft picks for 2018 and the realization we will not be strong this year. With that we draft either with our own pick or package the two first round picks to move up and draft QB Sam Darnold - USC (assuming he plays as well as he did this year) or Josh Rosen - UCLA. That plan allows us to build with youth, not spend all our money so we can grab opportunities when they happen and hopefully get our franchise QB within a year.

varjet Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 There may be issues cutting Gilcrist and Decker now because: They are still hurt They have not been replaced yet. I would not surprise me to see them cut when they are cleared and/or replaced. For Harris the concern is replace. If Minter or Hightower can be procured at a fair price, he should go.

Joe Jets fan Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 All speculation. Where does any of these articles say anything about hearing anything from the Jets? Why do posters quote speculation like it is coming from the team? At least say it's speculation in the thread title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rammagen Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 do not confuse realeasing older players as not replacing it with talent. Geno Smith could have been throwing to all pro receivers and he still would have sucked KW12, because he is not a very good qb. A good Qb makes his receivers better not the other way around. The question is do we have that qb on the roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geno isnt here, Brandon Marshall was just cut, we gave the team to Fitz when we HAD WEAPONZZZZZ and we've already seen that Eric Decker isnt a #1 WR...and that was before having to come back from rehabbing two surgeries to his shoulder and hip and for the fact that he's 3 years older at that. Also, back when Geno had no weaponzzzzzzthzzz, Robby Anderson was in college, Charone Peake was in college, Quincy Enunwa was on a rookie redshirt season placed in the cut for development and we had Stephen Hill, Jeremy Kerley, Clyde Gates and the ever-immortal Ryan Spadola. I think the 4 QB's I stated earlier are better than the latter. Oh, and nice way to reel me back in after I took my ball and went home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Decker was one of the few decent moves that Idzick made and really brought all the lunchpails with him, but the guy is 30 and he's been plagued by injuries. Statistically speaking that's not something that magically lessens with age. It's not a ton of cap space, but he is coming off major hip and shoulder surgeries and that's just not good.

Management made it clear that Sheldon and Mo's me-first type selfish, non-team attitudes were more important than Marshall's attempts to change the clubhouse demeanor. Bowles prefers lazy, me-first defensive players it seems. and with Mo, it's perfectly fine to take half your plays off with minimal effort after you land a big contract. p.s. gotta laugh at those point fingers at Marshall and claim he was a "cancer" in the clubhouse. The real cancers are Sheldon and Mo, people. And Bowles lets them carry on that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that the leadership we need is a guy who wears "Fitzmagic" shirts and refuses to show up to OTA's in protest of a QB not getting paid. Maybe Decker should be more concerned about conditioning so he can play an entire season no matter the QB on the field. I doesnt look good or like a leader when you pull that Fitz stunt the same season you catch only 9 passes 2 TD's and played in only 3 games. He can kick rocks too. Maybe Fitz can protest in an effort to get him a gig somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't march out that super young wr corp without some proven veteran hands. Quincy Enunwa. He's a 3 year vet and has two years under his belt. He certainly took a step in the right direction. Also, if we cut Decker it isnt like we cant get another vet WR in FA. It's not like its "Decker or bust". Dude has been here for 3 seasons and has missed a 3rd of his time on the field due to injury. Why even run the risk of paying him to only have those young guys on the field anyway given that he's probably injured again or simply isnt the same WR. Decker should have been cut before Marshall ever was. Atleast Marshall will be on the field. The best ability is availability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
