Eric Decker

Eric Decker may not be the best option, but if all else fails the Patriots should go after him. Decker could be a solid red zone target and help take the weight off of the rest of the receivers.

Decker flourished in Denver but has been looking to find some similar success ever since he left. In 2013 he had 87 catches for 1,288 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Decker may find some success with New England. Having Tom Brady as your quarterback seems to make everyone better. Still, Decker may not be the best option for the Patriots.

He has declined at a rapid rate. I think Decker will soon be out of the league.

It will be interesting to see what the Patriots do. They may make a move and sign one of these guys, or they may trust their current group.

No matter what the New England Patriots do, they will still be successful.
