He knows the offense, we have plenty of cap room. Dont trade for him, but sign him to a decent short term contract. Great role model, excellent receiver, awesome lockeroom veteran.


Do it.

I see Decker making bigger plays then Maclin plus gives you an option as a return man too. Also, I like seeing ex Bronco players come back home.

Problem is McKenzie has the return duties on lock barring injury. Maybe both punt and kick. Henderson won't beat him out either.

It's a shame because he's a really good dude and was pretty damn good. Just bad luck got him. I remember he was in the same draft class as Michael Crabtree. A lot of people had Crabtree pegged as the better WR, and while he is playing well now, much of his time in San Fran was pretty damn underwhelming. Made me appreciate Maclin that much more.

How many WR are we keeping, six? DT, Sanders, Henderson, McKenzie are locks. Some combination of Latimer, Fowler, Brown and Taylor will make the roster. Though Decker is clearly an upgrade on any of those. I wonder what his price will be.

And please, let's hope he doesn't go to NE.

Don't know why, but I like Taylor a lot. He had several big plays last year with limited action. He seems to catch everything thrown his way. IMO, he's a young version of Decker and Eddy McCaffrey.

Knowing that I secured the future of my family for generations to come is pretty damn important. Especially since guys like Decker don't tend to get too many chances at a large deal.

He's not going to get paid a big deal again, unless it's a string of one year signings.

He'll be fortunate to make another $5 million. He was also a 3rd round pick, so he might have had a comfortable lifestyle in Denver, but as you suggested changing the financial dynamic of his family for future generations is a big deal. Sometimes fans take the team allegiance and desire to win a little too far in their expectations.

We are the same fans who would move to another city at the drop of a hat (or swish of a pen) for doubled income, not to mention multiplied 10 fold

So what was the point in drafting Henderson? If we bring in a Decker whose likely washed up soon.

Vs decker who just does one thing.

Decker doesn't have the ability DT has, even if DT loses a step he's still a 4.4 guy. Where as decker ends up a 4.7 guy who doesn't have any athleticism. He doesn't make anybody moss, he doesn't break tackles, he can't play special teams.

Everyone is unproven until they prove themselves by actually playing. Why would the jets dump decker over 6 million? After giving away Marshall as well.

Maybe so but not that stupid to dump there number one and two WR's in one off season unless there's a reason. Marshall will be fine, Decker not so much. Guy like Decker can't afford to lose a step since he does nothing but run decent routes, once guy's can out accelerate him in and out of those breaks it's a wrap for a guy like Decker, and again he doesn't play special team's.

The Ravens’ Thursday visit with Jeremy Maclin didn’t result in a deal, but he’s not the only veteran receiver who could fill out the team’s depth chart.

The Jets are trying to trade Eric Decker and Albert Breer of TheMMQB.com reports that the Ravens are one of the teams they have spoken to about a potential deal.

Decker would make sense for a Ravens team looking to add an experienced hand after losing Steve Smith to retirement and tight end Dennis Pitta to another hip injury. Decker was slowed by injuries last season, but scored 17 touchdowns in his first two seasons with the Jets and caught at least 74 passes in every season from 2012-2015.

If the Jets aren’t able to trade Decker, they are expected to release him so the Ravens may not have to give up any compensation to bring him to Baltimore. They’d run the risk of Decker signing with another club under that scenario, though, and a late-round pick might be worth it to give Joe Flacco another option for his passes.

Decker is a good football player and was a fine Bronco. He would be ok losing a step because he's big, strong, and an exceptional route runner.

If we wasn't loaded at WR then maybe, but Decker isn't going to play for pennies. He will be too expensive for a #3 and I doubt he has any plans of playing special team's coverage. McKenzie and Henderson are likely to be better than him returning kicks and punts so I just don't see how he fits.

Well, he may not fit and personally i would like to see more of Taylor as i think he can be a big contributor for the Broncos. I dont even know if Denver is looking but i was just pointing out that Decker is still playing at a good level even after he left Denver. As far as the rookies are concerned, its too early to tell of whether or not they will be an impact. We heard a lot of similar things about Latimer and that didnt turn out so well. Hopefully Henderson pays big dividends especially in the return game because the Broncos sorely need it.

excellent analogy. He's had so many good camps. Remember after his rookie camp everyone was certain he had a great future ahead of him. I do remember he was a basketball player and some questioned whether he loved football. Could that be the problem? Good athlete, hard worker but just doesn't really love the game?

Here is what I liek about Latimer and why I think he still has a place.
He has great size and speed.
He catches extremely well. Terrific hands! Really good.
He is a beast when blocking! Better than DT or Decker. On a lot of our big runs the last couple years, Cody has been the one out there to seal the deal to allow CJ or whomever get the edge or the hole. That imo is equivalent to a 40 yard pass. He owns as a blocker.

He heard steps and pulled his arms back in, took his eyes off the ball and shifted them to the defensive back. He didn't even make an attempt to get a finger on a very catchable ball.

This is true, Cody is versatile as hell, an we love guys who can do multiple thing's. Cody will make the team, I just hope he gives us a little more catching passes in these 4 WR set's to go with his obvious run blocking and special team's coverage.

I can remember a screen pass to Booker, the OL had just taken a penalty to take the Broncos out of FG range before Latimer blocked two different defenders to escort Booker to a TD. This was the last game of the season when everyone on the offense actually looked like professionals.

Latimer has actually played well when given a chance, which wasn't often enough. Unlike Fowler, who may have given the Broncos PO chances final kick in the nuts with a dropped go ahead TD vs Titans with 5:00 to go.
