...I want to say congrats, but they really need someone to throw him the ball.

Wonder if he chose the Jets in at least part because of the potential to make his reality show more interesting. Hopefully Geno or whoever can get him the ball, but I guess Decker did alright with Weber tossing it to him.

 

[die hard gopher]

Decker caught 44 passes for 612 yards and 9 TDs with Tebow throwing it to him in just his second year in the league. I would expect about 900 yards next year.

He is going to miss Peyton.

Eric Decker will be making his return to TCF Bank Stadium for the first time since he was a Gophers. the Jets are playing the Vikes at TCF Bank Stadium this year.

So cool!

Guaranteed a single Eric Decker doesn't chose NYJ. The 'boss' made this decision for him, because
he's far too smart to not make absolute career suicide by going to the hapless, qb-less Jets..

CBS free agent grades:

WR Eric Decker to the New York Jets: The Jets had to get help outside in their passing game, but is Decker worth that five-year deal for $36 million with $15 million guaranteed? He's a No. 2 receiver, but the Jets don't even have that. It's a good signing. But he isn't a No. 1. Grade: B

Ding ding ding....You are correct. She has her music career, so i figured his only destination would be a big market. He can suck it up for a few years while Geno Smith throws ground balls to him and then the Vikings can sign him down the road for a cheaper price.

Looking at the terms of his contract, including the guaranteed money, I hope Louie has Decker on speed dial for a sizable contribution to the new practice facility.

Mark Schlereth has been on Mike & Mike the past few days downplaying Decker. He says he is totally a product of Manning and having Thomas there. Decker would have had a very good year before he got Tebowed. And he also failed to mention Thomas' numbers weren't that good until Manning got there also.

He's about as good of a #2 as you can get.
