As the Jets cleaned house of their veterans this summer, not even Eric Decker could prepare for his imminent release.
“I’ve just been informed that they’re gonna release me,” the wide receiver told wife Jessie James Decker via FaceTime on Wednesday’s episode of “Eric & Jessie.” “Kinda surprised me, too.”
Decker, 30, who was in the middle of a five-year, $36.25 million contract upon his June release, called the decision a “bummer,” as he and his spouse of four years mulled their future.
“I felt like we were getting to a routine and I’m feeling great, so I felt like practice has been going well,” Decker said.
News leaked that the Jets were planning to release or trade Decker on June 6, and he was released nearly a week later.
Offering her husband moral support, the brunette bombshell, 29, replied: “Just have to roll with it. See where the next journey takes us.”
The Deckers have since moved on, as the received signed a one-year deal with the Tennessee Titans. Decker has six catches for 42 yards in two games with the Titans.
