Which teams could sign Eric Decker before the Tennessee Titans?

There is not a lot going on with the NFL right now. One of the biggest stories is Eric Decker and if he will land with the Tennessee Titans.

To me it is an easy decision for Eric Decker.

1. There is no tax hit on his contract if he signs with the Tennessee Titans.

2. He has a house and family in Nashville.

3. He won’t be asked to carry an offense like he was in his first year in New York in 2014. That year ended up being his worst healthy year in the last half decade, and the only year in that time period where he had less than 1,000 yards.

More from Titans Free Agency

Still, some team could really want him and over pay to get him. If they start really kicking the tires on him, it could push the Tennessee Titans into making a move.

These are the teams that seem to be connected to Eric Decker in some way.

Minnesota Vikings

This one is sort of surprising and I haven’t seen a lot of smoke here, but it makes sense given how Michael Floyd and Laquon Treadwell have turned out in back to back years.

That is in response to Rapoport saying that Floyd was getting in trouble for getting caught with alcohol in his system violating his probation.

Cleveland Browns

According to Josh Edwards of 247 Sports, the Browns have some interest in free agent wide receivers.

This all started with Jeremy Maclin, but the Browns have started to shift focus to Eric Decker. So, with money in their pockets and needing as much positive publicity it makes sense that they could go after him.

Other teams that make sense, but I haven’t seen anything about yet:

Buffalo Bills

Chicago Bears

Los Angeles Rams

Philadelphia Eagles

Carolina Panthers
