The Patriots’ wide receiver depth chart got a little more crowded on Thursday when team reportedly agreed to sign veteran Eric Decker to a one-year contract. This comes only days after Jordan Matthews was released.

Decker, who has 439 career catches in the regular season, was not re-signed by the Titans after the 2017 season. He’s worn No. 87 his whole career, which began because he was drafted with the 87th overall pick.
