Wide receiver Eric Decker worked out for the Patriots on Monday, a source tells Field Yates of ESPN.com (on Twitter). The Pats are dealing with some injury issues at wide receiver, so Decker could be a candidate to show his stuff in camp and potentially make the final roster. 
The Patriots are already down one receiver for the first month of the season thanks to Julian Edelman‘s four-game suspension. Beyond that, Jordan Matthews, Malcolm Mitchell, and Kenny Britt are all dealing with ailments of their own. Mitchell seems unlikely to make the Pats’ final cut (and he could even be traded in the next few weeks), but the Patriots can ill afford to be short-handed at wide receiver if Matthews and Britt do not recover fully between now and September.
Enter Decker, who has openly lobbied for an opportunity with the Patriots this summer. Outside of spring meetings with the Ravens and Raiders, Decker’s market has been eerily quiet this offseason.
Decker was a late surprise cut by the Jets last year, leading him to sign a one-year deal with the Titans. He fell a little flat in Tennessee, recording 54 catches for just 563 yards and one touchdown. Decker also missed most of 2016 due to injury, so the 31-year-old is now two years removed from being a high-end wide receiver.
In 2015, Decker’s last complete season, he hauled in 80 catches for 1,027 yards and 12 touchdowns for the Jets. He also had 1,000+ yard seasons in 2012 and 2013 with the Broncos and nearly hit that mark in his first Jets season in 2014. If Decker can show at least some of his old form, he could be an interesting addition to the Patriots’ mix.
Are we talking about the same Eric Decker that had a little spat with Robert Kraft a few years back?
Makes sense though. With Edelman out 4 games, Decker will come at a low cost. Sure he hasn’t been very good but hell Tom Brady makes anyone look good. If it doesn’t work, like i said it will probably be low cost
I imagine Decker would accept the minimum to play in a Brady led offense. The signing is almost sure to trigger an amusing rant from Dez Bryant about how much he could have helped the Pats.
I hate to see him go there as a Jets fan because it seems anyone with talent that leaves the jets and goes to pats ends up doing well. But I can easily see the guy could fitting an amendola type role easily in that offense.
They do better because the coaching and the QB is better.
