Denver Broncos free agent Eric Decker accepts NY Jets lucrative five year contract worth $36.25 million with $15 million guaranteed. The announcement came on March 12, 2014.
Decker, considered by some the top receiver on the free-agent market, is the Jets’ biggest free-agent signing since John Idzik became general manager, according to ESPN.
“I’m very thankful for my four years in Denver,” Decker told the Denver Post. “I think it’s one of the greatest cities to play in. Unfortunately, I never got an offer from the Broncos. Denver will always be a part of me but I’m excited about New York being my new community and starting a new chapter in my life. On top of all that, my wife’s expecting our baby any second.”
