On Sunday, Patriots wide receiver Eric Decker announced his retirement. It’s a bit sudden, but given that he’s not the first veteran wide receiver to retire toward the end of a New England Patriots training camp, it’s not surprising.
That leaves a small hole for the Patriots wide receiver group. Decker is in no way a number 1 wide receiver, but he is still quite productive and his retirement may sting.
The San Francisco 49ers on the other hand will have some very difficult decisions to make in the coming days on their wide receiver group.
