It's hard to blame Eric Decker for his decision to skip Jets OTAs on Wednesday.
The New York wide receiver attended the Country Music Televison Awards alongside his beautiful wife, Jessie James Decker. The couple shared multiple pictures of themselves on their way to the award show, and in one the receiver bragged about how hot his wife was, saying in the caption, "she's gonna get it later."
This marked the second time that Decker missed OTAs this year. The former AFC champion passed on them last month, reportedly out of protest over the Jets' current contract impasse with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, which is still going on to this day.
Decker had 80 receptionsfor 1,027 yards with 12 touchdowns working with Fitzpatrick last season and has been adamant that he wants the quarterback to return. As it stands, Geno Smith is on pace to start for Gang Green this season if it doesn't re-sign Fitzpatrick.
"I love Fitzpatrick," Decker said earlier ths offseason, via the Wall Street Journal. "Would love to get to work with him if he is going to be the quarterback of this team."
Off the field, Decker, 29 and James, 28, have become very acclimated to the New York life after the receiver spent four seasons with the Broncos and then signed a five-year deal with the Jets, which enters Year 3 in 2016.
The couple was married in June 2013, had a daughter, Vivianne Rose, in March 2014 and then had a son, Eric Thomas, this past September.
Though they couple was happy at the awards on Wednesday, Decker may not be fully satisfied until the Jets get things done with Fitzpatrick and he's keeping up his hopes.
"I believe it's Fitzpatrick," Decker said on NFL Network via the New York Post. "Right now, it's business and they're so far off in dollar amount, but Ryan wants to be back, they want Ryan back. Something is going to happen. It might be before training camp, the day or two before, but I believe that he'll be back on the team come this fall."
