Decker was due to make a base salary of $7.25 million in 2017 and $7.5 million in 2018. He turned 30 in march and only appeared in three games last season due to injury, so teams are likely concerned about him staying on the field.
Although he battled injuries last year, Decker is just two years removed from catching 80 passes for 1,027 yards and 12 touchdowns. He’s a great red zone threat when healthy, and one team that recently added a top wide receiver is said to still have interest in Decker.
