Not much to me personally. Dez Bryant would have been the only interesting signing due to the potential upside.

Decker is likely not making the team and if he does it's just for 4 weeks.

The Decker signing also sends a message to Britt and Mitchell that it might be a good time to return to practice and forego your day to day injury hiatus .

Given the fact that Mitchell, with a year to rehab, still hasn't been able to get back on the field and Britt being injury-prone throughout his entire career coupled with the fact that Dorsett still hasn't really produced to this point in his career (good camp aside), I think it's a pretty safe bet that he's still on the team even after Edelman gets back. The WR position outside of Hogan and Edelman is a pretty big question mark.

Assuming that the Decker signing has actually happened, it really doesn't mean much yet. He's just another candidate for a roster spot, at this point, and he's pretty much behind everybody else.

Whoa! Whoa! pump the breaks on Decker not making this Team. Decker is more proven than any of the current lot minus Edelman. I hope they are hammering out some kind of sneaky Two year deal. Decker would be a Great compliment to this lot.
