View Full Version : Where Will Eric Decker Sign?

I think one of two things will happen:

1.) He finds a relatively soft market due to the deep draft and Denver feels comfortable signing him at the market value of $6-7M.

2.) Someone like SD or KC or NE won't mind giving him a little extra to help themselves and deplete our roster at the same time. (call this the Welker Plan)

I'm currently guessing Carolina, depending on what happens with Steve Smith and Decker's final price. God knows they need a receiver, probably more than one. They could pay Decker AND draft a WR with a high pick.

My guess is Tennessee. He can be the #1 WR, and his wife can be in the capital of country music which I'm sure would be great for her career. It's a win-win for both of them.

Eric Decker is nothing more than a #3 receiver. He needs an elite passing game to be marginally effective. You don't give a number 3 the kind of money he's looking for. IMO, he will remained unsigned for some time and will eventually not get much more than 5 ml a yr avg.

Good. Then the Broncos can re-sign his ass at 5 mill.

Maclin's contract is worth a maximum of $6 million, a person who's seen the deal tells NFL Media's Albert Breer. Of that $6 million, the guaranteed portion is $3.5 million, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported.

Tub no one is saying the market is set in stone. However, if Cooper can get $5 million per year I don't see how Decker wouldn't get more than that because I believe he is hands down a better receiver.

I don't know how Maclin is better than Decker or even Cooper since he can't stay healthy.

Marlin got $6 with $3.5 guaranteed for one year.
Cooper got $25 for 5 with $10 guaranteed, so $5 and $2 per if averaged.
Boldin got $12 with $9 guaranteed, that's $6 million and $4.5 million per year.

Decker substantially outperformed all three the last two seasons. I don't see why Decker won't receive a substantially higher amount, say $8 or $9 for four years with say $15-20 guaranteed.

Maclin supposedly has more talent since he was drafted higher out of Missouri, but hasn't proved it in the NFL. Decker has proved it in the NFL. It's ironic that you call them the "white hype" when ALLL Maclin has been, so far, is hype. He hasn't shown diddly on the field and yet you want to claim he has more "talent?" That's the mere definition of 'hype.'

I said Dallas, I could easily see Decker being on Jerry Jones' list of must have players. Especially give his off-field nature, Miles Austin has been a huge disappointment for the Cowboys since getting his big contract, even if they part with him they'll only gain a million but lose over 7 mil. But I also expect Dallas to make some big moves to free up money across the board. Houston will also likely be in the mix, Johnson is no spring chicken and the rest of the offense is ailing, Decker gives their next quarterback a secondary target who would be a security blanket in the middle.

Cowboys are 2M under the cap and the penalties from cutting Ware and Austin would cripple them next season. If they wait one season all those contracts go away.

Cowboys are 2M under the cap and the penalties from cutting Ware and Austin would cripple them next season. If they wait one season all those contracts go away.

Elsid, cutting Demarcus Ware would free up about 8 million this season, he's due 16.5 and the dead would be about or around 8.5, if they cut Austin they only save a million, but Austin will be hard pressed for teams to take him serious with the snowballing he gave the Cowboys in the first place. And those contract obligations don't go away next year, Ware is signed through 2017 and 5 million in dead would count against the cap next year but they'll save an additional 12 million. While Austin is signed through 2016, 2017 originally but the final year is optional, next year they'd save about 4 mil with him off the roster. There are other cuts the team could make, Cowboys are one of the worst when it comes to player contracts and overpaying individuals. I could see it, I am not saying it makes fiscal sense for the Cowboys, but Jerry Jones is if anything, eccentric.

I haven't read the entire thread, but it seems one factor is missing here in this
discussion: Peyton Manning. Peyton said that it takes a couple years to really
get to know a receiver. He has a lot of confidence in Decker, and I don't
believe he wants a major change in his receiving corps.

As a former QB, Elway knows exactly where Peyton is coming from. So I believe
he will go to extra lengths to try to keep Decker in Denver. I wouldn't bet the
farm on it, but when all is said and done, it will not surprise me at all if Decker
is again in a Broncos uniform this year.

This has been my position as well. Peyton likes him - he is young and productive... I think we want to retain him, but it will come down to how much other teams are willing to overpay. As I've been saying, I think he signs with us if it's around $6-7 million per year... If he gets $8-10 per year then he is gone.

The wide-receiver market was quiet on a wild first day of free agency. The New York Jets were equally as silent.

The silence could end soon.

Top free-agent receiver Eric Decker will meet with the Jets on Wednesday, NFL Media's Kimberly Jones reported. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport later added New York will get a visit from offensive tackle Breno Giacomini, too.

Yea, i have a feeling he will be gone especially if we get a guy like Ware or Allen. But, if we do land one of those guys it will sting a little less to see Decker go even though he is my current favorite Bronco. But, we really do need to find a balance on this team as right now its far too offensive heavy and we need some ballers/playmakers on defense.

Gotta get some firewood, have a jersey that needs ti be burned. Not about the money, eh? Haha! Have fun losing.

Good luck, deck.

At what he got from the Jets it doesn't appear it was about money. He signed on the first contract he was offered instead of trying to negotiate it up.

D. Thomas is going to break the bank next year... Same with J. Thomas. We can only commit so much future money to pass catchers.

We never offeres him a deal. :(

Thank god this f'n circus is done.

And btw, rumors are Denver didn't even bother contacting him once during the process. They obviously know better that he isn't necessary for this team to win a SuperBowl.

I'm sure he and his good looking wife have a future in case Vick to Decker doesn't turn out to be that efficient. What better place to do that than New York (I'll give you L.A., but L.A. Doesn't have a team...).

I like Decker, but all in all I think the Broncos are way on top with their signings compared to loses so far. I'm also glad he followed the money to a crappy NY Jets team rather than going to Indy or somewhere that he could have been a key part of a team that we might face in the playoffs

No such thing as a horrid decision that results in a $15M guaranteed contract.

Wonder how much his SB performance added to Denver's obvious disinterest.

I don't think as much as the more obvious doorstops in the way, the 2 Thomas's, those are the guys we want to keep around, not Decker.

Hell no. This means that running back and wide receiver weren't the problem. The defense was. I'm not even sure how that crossed your mind.

Anyhow....yeah sad that we couldnt make it work but hard to stay that way when we just got Talib, Ward and Ware.


Not high on Caldwell so hope we draft a WR by the end of round 4 and maybe get 1 last bargain basement FA WR like Kenny Britt. High upside there...very physical WR.

I'm not really sure they were scapegoated - Elway knew, especially from the SuperBowl result, that offense wasn't going to win, and it would have done no good to try to keep the offense together at the continued expense of the defense. Decker and Moreno weren't cut they just weren't resigned so Elway could allocate that money to defense. I love what he's done via free agency. I'm not really sure how someone could not at this point.

In the SuperBowl? The defense kept Denver in the game as the offense kept stumbling drive after drive in the first half. I do think with the benefit of hindsight of the season the defense was a problem, but more so IMHO because of the injuries.

I can't believe we didn't try to offer Decker anything with almost $10 million left under the cap.

Like I have said repeatedly. Elway isn't stupid enough to make knee jerk signings after the Super Bowl. He made the right moves, which was defense, to give the team more balance and more toughness on the defensive side of the ball. Build a defense more like Seattle's, not to overreact and spend big on offense because the offense had one bad game.

Hell no you keep him in an Antonio Gates like role, only unlike Gates and San Diego, you have DThomas out on the outside as well. Can't double both of them with Manning playing QB.

Yea I completely agree, which was why Decker, for as good as he was, wasn't even considered as an option to bring back.

Have you ever seen him play when hes not suspensed? Also look whos been throwing to him. The Titans have been trash.

He is like a Brandon Marshall. Give him a real QB and on an offense like Denver and I bet the dude explodes.

Cheap cheap 1 yr rental that all. He screws up hes gone. Just like we gave DRC a chance last year we could do then same at the WR position.

If you would asked me 10 months ago i would of agreed without hesitation. But KnowMo's play this year was a joy to watch and i have found a new respect for him and was very proud the way he played this year. I think he can be replaced but for sentimental reasons would kind of hate to see him go just like watching Deck move on kind of sucked. It is what it is.

I agree in the sense that my respect for Moreno grew, but Decker has been solid his entire career here. RBs are easily replaced, and Decker has proved to be better at his position than Moreno is at his....thus... it bothers me more to see a Decker go compared to a Moreno.

Plus, I'm getting more pumped for Ball. Towards the end of the year, he started to really come along.

Hey, I logged in, after a two-three week hiatus, and saw the poll. Then I voted and posted where I knew he was going to end up. Wasn't even a choice in the poll. Hadn't even read that he was scheduled to visit....didn't need to, because I knew where he was going to sign.

Believe what you want.

Terrible move by the Jets, BTW. Deck won't have Manning throwing balls to him next year, and he will probably be exposed.
