The New York Jets signed Eric Decker to a five-year, $36.25 million contract on Wednesday night. In doing so, they addressed their biggest need by adding the best wide receiver available. Jets fans would have been furious if their team did not end up with Decker. Fans in New York had already envisioned him in green, especially if they read his wife’s tweets.
Shortly after 10 p.m. EST on Wednesday, Jessie James Decker sent the following tweet.
So excited!!!!!!!

Everyone assumed the tweet meant Eric had signed a new contract, and the Jets were the favorites to land him. However, nothing had been announced yet and Jessie had to do a little backpedaling a few minutes later.

An appointment with a doctor at 10:21 at night? Come on now. Fortunately, Decker ended up signing with the Jets. After seeing what the Patriots did just a few hours earlier, Jets fans would have blown a gasket if Jessie got them excited over nothing.
