I never quite understand top players who switch teams. You just went to a Super Bowl, you're playing for possibly the best quarterback to ever play the game, a man that in just two short seasons made you a star, and then you suddenly decide you'd rather ply your wares on a losing team like the Jets.
That's former Gopher standout, and Pro Bowl receiver Eric Decker. When all is said and done, his deal with the Jets is worth a guaranteed $15 million, or about the same amount the Broncos offered. It could be worth more with incentives, but with the QB situation in New York it's highly unlikely he'll ever reach them.
People like Decker always say they are doing what's best for their families, as if the few extra bucks one multi-million dollar deal may be worth over another is more important than anything else.
I guess teaching your kids loyalty and uprooting them from friends and school is not nearly as important as a little extra cash. Personally, I really don't care where he plays. Manning, with his abilities, will always do great with or without him.
Decker, on the other hand, may be wishing he had a good quarterback by as early as the first or second game next season.
The sacrifices you make for family.
