Rumor: Tennessee Titans want Eric Decker
By Will Lomas
Is there something to this Eric Decker to the Tennessee Titans smoke?
The Tennessee Titans are probably going to make a play for free agent wide receiver Eric Decker.
This may seem like a long shot, and to be honest it isn’t something that I saw coming. However, Decker’s name keeps popping up with people that have a finger on the pulse on Tennessee.
Last week Paul Kuharsky posted on periscope that he believed that the Tennessee Titans could be interested in the free agent wide receiver.

He also asked Greg Cosell about Decker and how he could fit in the Titans offense.
.@gregcosell on @Midday180: @EricDecker87 big insider WR at this point in career. Size, tough-catches, precise route-runner. #Titans

.@gregcosell on @Midday180: @EricDecker87 would do it differently and in my view better than Douglas for #Titans out of the slot.

He also noted that Decker was in town in Nashville Predators gear during the Stanley Cup Finals.
#Titans will presumably discuss @EricDecker87. Could certainly be in play if he's cut. I saw him at Game 3 of #StanleyCup. #Jets pic.twitter.com/XvbMxcYYpW

So that is a fair bit of evidence that he should be interested in moving to Nashville.
After his release became official Matt Miller posted this tweet in reference to teams that he think could be interested in Decker.

That is a lot of smoke coming from guys who don’t do this often. Miller has been talking to Taylor Lewan lately and recently became a Preds fan himself.

So, maybe Miller does know something about this that we don’t. I am confident that PK who generally is skeptical of any potential big-name signing, isn’t doing this just to blow smoke.
I would lean towards the Tennessee Titans being seriously interested in Eric Decker and there is a chance that he could be a late addition to this team.
