Rumor: Eric Decker to New Orleans?
 

For the second time in the last three years, New Orleans failed to reach the NFC Championship, despite having one of the top offenses in the NFL, but that doesn't mean the front office will look to just upgrade the defense this off-season.

With Drew Brees leading the way, this team will rely on the passing game and big plays in 2014, but with opposing defenses double teaming Jimmy Graham, finding another play maker on the outside is imperative.

Kenny Stills had a good year for the Saints, but the team lacked that big receiver that could help the offense in the red zone and that has led to several rumors since the 2013 season ended on possible free agent signings.

The latest rumors come from J.R. Ella of SB Nation and he reports that the team should go after Eric Decker. The 26 year-old had a terrific season with Denver this past season and despite his failure to make a big impact on the Super Bowl, fans and football experts can't ignore his nearly 1,300 yards in receiving and eleven touchdowns for the Broncos this past season.


The New Orleans Saints still have that window of opportunity to win another Super Bowl, but finding Brees some help and continuing to upgrade the defense this off-season will be key and signing a wide receiver like Decker could be the move that puts this franchise over the top in 2014.

How exactly is some dude's opinion a rumor? Some douche says the Saints should sign him... Great.

Re: Rumor: Eric Decker to New Orleans?
 

Nailed it.

Re: Rumor: Eric Decker to New Orleans?
 

And if he has impressed like this guy says he has and is coming off of a 1300 yard season he will be looking to sign a decent contract. Not saying I would be opposed to it but I just don't put much stock in what this dude says.

Re: Rumor: Eric Decker to New Orleans?
 

Not sure how that's going to help even if just entertaining the idea. Anyone ever notice how having an elite /high dollar receiver is synonymous with losing. It looks good on paper but on the field it never materializes. Have to have strong lines like Finks use to say and that's what hurt us this season; the OL. Besides, the NFL has turned a blind eye to PI and refuses to address the problem. Better blocking trumps PI.

Re: Rumor: Eric Decker to New Orleans?
 

Decker can play?!! Good between the lb."s and safety kind of guy, and will teke a hit when caught!! Good bye Moore!!

Re: Rumor: Eric Decker to New Orleans?
 

Unless he would backload the deal till after Colston dead money is lower or if no deal could be done for Graham then i just dont see this.
As things stand this is the free cap space for some sides,somebody will pay him.Maybe Giants,Bucs or Packers would be the best fits

1.Oakland Raiders $63m

2.Cleveland Browns $56.9m

rumor = reporters opinion? :rolleyes:

lmao the off season drama queens

decker is interesting but is he a product of the manning system? some of indi wr under manning were very productive. but when they signed else were most did not live up to the contract

next question were is the money coming from for a luxury wr when it appears we will have a TE that will be making WR tag money if he is not signed?

they just make me giggle

Re: Rumor: Eric Decker to New Orleans?
 

I think Larry Fitzgerald would be awesome in our system...

Rumor: Larry Fitzgerald to the Saints?

Re: Rumor: Eric Decker to New Orleans?
 

Would love to have this guy but the chances we can afford him are slim.

You could say the same about Colston here. Besides, he was productive in 2011 before Manning got there.

Re: Rumor: Eric Decker to New Orleans?
 

Rumor I heard was we are trading a hot pocket for Megatron

Re: Rumor: Eric Decker to New Orleans?
 

I had heard more than one group of Saints fans talking about this I guess that might make it a rumor... again, might.....

Here are a few reasons I don't like it....

You can't use anything coming out of a Manning system for your benefit, you never get the desired result. See Pierre Garcon...

I haven't seen much of Decker but he reminds me of Lance Moore.... you should restructure Moore if you really want Decker.....

The money, you would be much better wasting money on someone who was good but had a much less successful season maybe because of injury, like Jeremy Maclin, Miles Austin etc.

Re: Rumor: Eric Decker to New Orleans?
 

Once again, the off season blows. This was about 1 minute of my life I'll never be able to get back.

Re: Rumor: Eric Decker to New Orleans?
 

And to help the Saints out with their cap problems, he should play for a baloney sandwich

Rumor: Larry Fitzgerald to the Saints for baloney sandwich.

Re: Rumor: Eric Decker to New Orleans?
 

Ok that made me laugh my ass off!!

Re: Rumor: Eric Decker to New Orleans?
 

Re: Rumor: Eric Decker to New Orleans?
 

If we go with a WR he had better be fast. That is what is missing in our run game. Someone to stretch the field and open the routes underneath for Colston and Moore. Bang! Problem solved!:clown:

Re: Rumor: Eric Decker to New Orleans?
 

Decker and Colston on the field at the same time would draw my intrest.

Re: Rumor: Eric Decker to New Orleans?
 

No thanks, I'm not sold on Decker. I'd rather draft a receiver who will cost a lot less and who isn't afraid to take a hit.

Re: Rumor: Eric Decker to New Orleans?
 

Re: Rumor: Eric Decker to New Orleans?
 

I totally agree. Hell I'll take that and run with it.

Re: Rumor: Eric Decker to New Orleans?
 

He had a good year statistically, but I'm not sure he's anything but a system guy, which is what we already have. Don't see Decker as the missing piece. I also think there is no way we will match his asking price.

Re: Rumor: Eric Decker to New Orleans?
 

A product of the Manning system like Rice and Taylor were products of the Montana system. Oh yeah, can't forget Skeets either!!
