UPDATE: Eric Decker on the way out of New York - Signed by TEN

[Mike FF Today 607]

Per Adam Schefter...

 

And now the Jets are parting ways with WR Eric Decker, sources tell ESPN. Have told WR they either will release or trade him this week.

 

Is there anybody else left for the Jets to cut? Who's left at receiver... Quincy Enunwa and Robby Anderson? Ohh my.

[weepaws 2,452]

Great news for Decker IMO.

 

Maybe he will end up with KC.

[cousinal111 57]

This has been rumored for quite some time now. Is Enunwa or Robby a factor now? Who else is gonna catch the ball, Stewart?

 

Word is they've contacted Steve Smith.

[giraldi02 470]

Chad Hansen zZzZz

[weepaws 2,452]

Just saw that news story on Roto that they contacted S Smith.

[Ray_T 587]

Great news for Decker IMO.

 

Maybe he will end up with KC.

If I was in Deckers shoes I'd be thanking the team for letting me leave. The organization appears to be quite a mess. If he has any hopes of winning a superbowl, he's better off elsewhere.

[Vern357 15]

Saw this posted in my news feed. Decker has been a lot more productive than he gets credit for.

 

"a true complementary receiver who scores touchdowns in the red zone. Decker is just that at 6'3/214, and only Dez Bryant, Brandon Marshall, Antonio Brown, and Demaryius Thomas have scored more touchdowns since 2012, and that's with Decker missing 13 games

[weepaws 2,452]

That's some really good company to be in when you are playing wr in the NFL.

 

Very interesting update thanks Vern357.

[Vern357 15]

Yeah, that stat really surprised me.

 

Would love to see my Hawks grab him to replace Kearse.

[weepaws 2,452]

First team that I thought of was KC.

 

But Seattle would be smart to grap him.

[Vern357 15]

He would be a scary good fit for AZ too. Fitz and Decker out wide with Brown in the slot?

He gets the proper amount of credit. He's always been very good. He will go somewhere and be very good again if healthy.

[polecatt 399]

Decker has been the definition of consistent in recent seasons. Lacked the upside a bit but was a lock for solid WR2 numbers each week.

He was good in Denver when Tim Tebow was the QB. He was good with the Jets and Ryan Fitzpatrick.

I would say it can only get better. He'll be fine if he's back from injury okay.

I've always liked him but I wouldn't go as far as saying he was good when Tim Tebow was QB. Nobody was.

 

In 12 games that Tebow started in 2011, Decker had 24 catches for 392 yards, 4 TD's.

 

That's an average of 2 catches for 32.6 yards and. 33 TD's a game.

Seems like a great fit for a young, inexperienced Philly wr corps.

Tebow was the QB when he first hit fantasy relevancy.

He wasn't the consistent player he has become but he had some big moments with Tebow.

[weepaws 2,452]

Philly sign Jeffery and they have J Matthews and they sign T smith, I think they have their load of WRs.

 

KC is who should pick Decker up.

[giraldi02 470]

Seems like a great fit for a young, inexperienced Philly wr corps.

Not gonna happen. The Eagles don't have cap space for it

[Ray_T 587]

He'd be good in either of the LA teams.

 

In fact, If I were the Rams I'd be giving him or Maclin a call (or both)

[weepaws 2,452]

Decker to KC, Maclin to the Rams would be good moves.

[Cstriker 2]

Is it really worth trading for him at this point of his career in a dynasty league? What do people that own him in PPR league want to let him go?

[weepaws 2,452]

Uncertainty of his next landing spot would be my answer.

 

And his age of 30.

 

But look at what he has done.

 

Three of his last four full seasons he's reached 1000 plus yards and 11 plus tds.

 

And he hasn't been blessed with the best of qbs

 

I would have no problem for the right price picking him up, I wouldn't over pay for him.

For a Tebow receiver that's HOF worthy

[Hype_Train252 4]

I see Decker landing with the Ravens. I even seen Rotoworld blurb that said the Ravens were inquiring about him. They don't have much for WR's behind Mike Wallace and Perriman. Dennis Pitta done for. Mediocre pass catching group. KC is cap strapped and won't have much to offer. Buffalo might be another team that would inquire about him. Always loved his consistency.

[giraldi02 470]

The Ravens are in a worse cap situation than the Chiefs...

[Cruzer 1,992]

Not gonna happen. The Eagles don't have cap space for it

To be honest, I've not looked at Philly's Cap situation.......... But I have to ask - how in the world are they strapped for space? They have a young team, w/out much star power, who is eating it all up?

Fletcher Cox extension made him a large cap hit.

 

But primarily they have a TON of money on the offensive line in Peters and Johnson. Brandon Brooks and Kelce are also pricey too.

 

They'll get some relief when they cut Mathews...think about 4 mill or something. Mychal Kendricks is another potential cut candidate. For some reason the Eagles brass soured on him, even though I think he's a decent SAM. Jason Kelce might also be gone before the season if some of the young guys keep making strides. Seumalo has been looking good in OTAs

Good is a relative term.

 

if a player such as Hopkins gets 1500 yard receiving with Brady at QB and then drops to 700 yard receiving when he gets traded and plays with Tim Teebow, does that mean the player is bad?

 

No.

 

It is a reflection on the quality of the player throwing him the ball.

 

personally, I wouldnt want to judge any player by how they do with Teebow throwing him the ball. But that's just me.

 

when looking at the body of work I'd be inclined to ignore the Teebow years and go with the rest.

I agree...as I said, "nobody was" good when Tebow was QB.

In IDP leagues Im keeping watch on Kendricks. Seems he didnt buy into the system last year and there was an attitude problem. If they cut him he could get decent playing time elsewhere.

 

Just grabbed him off waivers in one league.

[cousinal111 57]

Decker signed by Titans

[murf74 461]

Weird landing

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

Yeah I didn't think the Titans really needed another receiver. But I guess besides Rishard they are all young.

[Vikings4ever 496]

Bump for Mariota, but there's a LOT of mouths to feed in Tennessee now.

[Ray_T 587]

Yeah I didn't think the Titans really needed another receiver. But I guess besides Rishard they are all young.

I think this move is to buy the youngsters a year or two for development. I like it. a good route runner with experience. The young guys can probably learn a lot from a guy like Decker.

[giraldi02 470]

Mariota = Top 5 QB in 2017

[weepaws 2,452]

This move makes a lot of since for the Titans.

 

They did a good job in getting Mariota a sold Wr.

 

Who does this move effect the most on the Titans is now the question, and I don't know.

 

But with Davis and Decker outside and Walker at te down the middle and D Murray coming out of the back field my guess would be R Matthews.

 

I don't see how he won't have less targets than the 108 he recorded last season and he won't score nine tds.

 

So he would be my first pick.

I also have to think Decker will like having a top QB tossing him the ball as well.

 

Not sure how this affects his ADP, but I suspect I will be a buyer come draft/auction day.

[redsrback 30]

Seems to me Decker is more of a possession receiver then down the field threat. I think Walker takes a big hit, but Decker has health issues.

Idk that Matthews loses his spot. He proved to be a very reliable receiver last year. I think we would find a very kisses off Matthews if that happened. It's why he was so angry at Miami. For years he sat unused at they trotted out receivers who flat out were not as good as him. Now this situation is a little different, but still Davis is just a rookie. We don't know what he can do in the pros yet. Maybe he starts inside.

 

Plus Decker is just on a one year deal. It's not the type of deal where a team plans on making a guy a starter above a legit starter already like Matthews
