Thread: $10 Million per for Decker?

Eric Decker - WR - Broncos

The Boston Herald is the second media outlet this week to project free agent Eric Decker's forthcoming contract to be in the $10 million-per-year range.

Early last week, ESPN New York set the bar at "at least" $9 million a year. "Eric Decker might land $10 million per season," writes Herald reporter Jeff Howe. Howe believes Hakeem Nicks may only command $3 million to $4 million annually. It seems Howe is guessing, but informed guesses are notable. All signs point to Decker being paid like a true No. 1 wideout this offseason.

Really?

Bye bye Decker.

See ya, buddy. I just don't see us paying him 10 mil a year. I'd much rather take my chances with Caldwell or either a cheap FA or mid-round pick to replace him and invest that 10 million into the defense.

That number is ridiculous.

I like Deck, but it seems to me he quits on his running too soon, and looks incredulously to the Refs for flags way too often.

They'll be fine without him... Just opens up the door for Bubba or a big rookie.

Good for him if he can get that.

The Broncos will NOT go into next year with Caldwell as the #2. I do see a less $ FA than Decker though.

Why not? It's not like he would be our #2 option. He'd still be behind DT/Wes/JT in the pecking order. Caldwell is not a bad guy to have as your 4th option. Having 4 top tier receiving options like we had this season is really more of a luxury than a need. I just don't see it as a huge priority to replace Decker with a comparable talent. Caldwell filled in just fine when called upon last year, and I think he would be fine in that role.

I'm pining for Jeremy Maclin.

the only reason decker looked as good as he did this last year was...... MANNING....SEE YA DECKER, Enjoy your new deal but I will bet you will fall off a dark cliff real soon!!!!

Anquan Boldin needs to leave one of the worst passing teams in the NFL and join the best.

It's looking more and more like a comp pick is in our future rather than Decker.

Nothing is set in stone yet. Elway will let him test the market and then try to negotiate from there. If Deck wants to stay he will work with him, if he wants the money he will bolt. That simple.

Yeah. I saw that before I posted. I can still get my hopes up.
