Jets made a decision here by giving their back-up DB money to Lankster Walls & Berry. But Trufant seemed productive.
Decker is an upgrade over Santonio Holmes but that isn't saying much. Every time I watch him play I feel he's very overrated. He's the type that will have a feast against a bad team and be mostly invisible against the good teams. If the Jets do sign this guy, I hope the contract offers a lot in the way of escape routes for the team.
We are talking giving a guy $7 million. Not giving away draft picks lol we have $40 million in cap space and you are worried about giving a solid receiver $7 million?
I agree, I was just saying that's why people are going on and on about being a true number one. You have to pay the guy what you expect his value will be to the Jets, which is difficult because he came from the highest scoring offense of all time.
Dude if Decker can catch 44 passes n 8 Tds from Tebow/Orton in one season I'm sure he will catch 60 or better with Geno and Marty M
You guys are way tooooooo worried about calling guys #1 or #2 WRs. The Jets need guys that can help Geno and the offense regardless of whatever # you attach to them.
It's free agency people teams overpay for NEEDS!!!!!!!!! Look at Atlanta yesterday. If we overpay Decker by 1-1.5M it's not that big of a deal we NEED playmakers and Decker is an upgrade over anyone we have now!!!
I like those guys as well for depth. Any idea how long we have them locked up for? Walls and Berry could develop into nice players.
Does this mean maybe Vlad or Campbell is out starting LG? Yikes. Go get Michael Oher to play RT, Davin Joseph to play RG, Nicks, and DRC or Revis and I'm good in FA. Grab a TE, 2WR's, safety, OLB in the draft
wtf is your point? the jets arent talking about trading anything for anyone. teams should always be looking to upgrade "for the sake of upgrading". derp
7 million is a lot man, we are going to have to be paying him this year, next year, the year after. We have money to spend now but its impossible to tell what our cap will be like in two or three years. No reason to overpay now, and our future.
I'm a glass half full type of fan so I was looking at him as a young guy who maybe had some growing pains but was going to improve and be a consistent anchor over there for the next 5 years. I'm just bummed that now we have to go find somebody new that is as least as good all the while having to integrate him into the unit. I truly feel the longer the line is together and gels, the better the entire unit will be. But yeah, not a huge loss but Idzik has his work cut out to replace him. _
