The Patriots’ wide receiver depth chart got a little more crowded on Thursday when team reportedly agreed to sign veteran Eric Decker to a one-year contract. This comes only days after Jordan Matthews was released.
The 32-year-old has been in the NFL since he was drafted in the third round by the Broncos in 2010. Decker, who has 439 career catches in the regular season, was not re-signed by the Titans after the 2017 season. He’s worn No. 87 his whole career, which began because he was drafted with the 87th overall pick.
