Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas is extremly unlikely to reach free agency, with the franchise tag or a long-term deal almost a sure thing when it comes to his future in the Mile High City.
However, that hasn't stopped his former teammate, Eric Decker, from trying to recruit him to the New York Jets.
“I’ve been pushing for the entire year now,” Decker said during a telephone interview with The New York Post. “It was just another opportunity to talk to him about it. It’s going to be interesting to see what happens. I think it would be tough for Denver to let him go. So whether they franchise-tag him here in the next month or give him a long-term deal, he’s just one of those premier players in this league. If he happens to make it to free agency, I would love to sign him because playing alongside him for four years and especially the last two years made it a lot of fun and made it a lot easier. He’s just one of the great players in this league.”
Decker signed a five-year deal with the Jets last March after spending the first four years of his career as a member of the Denver Broncos.
