Eric Decker is meeting today with the Titans, as Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets. This marks Decker’s first known free agent visit since being released by the Jets earlier this month.

Living near Nashville, Tennessee has appeal for the Decker family, Schefter hears. Beyond the live music and great food, Decker is probably also excited about the promise of the Titans’ offense. Marcus Mariota might represent Decker’s best quarterback in some time. Meanwhile, opposing defenses should be kept honest by the running of DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry. If Decker can stay healthy, this is a situation in which the veteran could get back to his old 1,000-yard ways.
The Titans made a major investment at WR in April by drafting Corey Davis with the No. 5 overall pick. Tennessee also has Rishard Matthews and Tajae Sharpe in the mix, but they could use another playmaker like Decker.
On Tuesday, we learned that the Broncos are not all that interested in reuniting with Decker. Surprisingly, the Ravens are not ruling out a Decker pursuit, even after signing Jeremy Maclin.
Does anybody else besides me look at the Titans roster and think these guys had a pretty good shot of going deep?
If the defense can stop Luck, we should have a shot at our division title, for sure.
Decker would be a perfect addition. He could easily mentor these young guys for a couple seasons. Mathews and Davis will be just fine but Decker could be an added benefit because after those 2 mentioned previously it’s just as of right now speed guys that need to develop. That’s where a veteran like Decker could really strengthen this WR core. I hope the Titans land him. Decker, Davis, Mathews and then speed guys occasionally. Great core if you ask me.
Don’t forget Walker too!
Well I was only speaking about the WR core. But yes, easily Walker too.
