The first hint that the Jets were going from recruiting Eric Decker to signing him came from Twitter, and no, Adam Schefter was not involved.
With Decker in New York visiting the Jets, his wife, Jessie James Decker, sent this out to her 300,000-plus followers, giving Jets fans a huge hint they were about to make their first significant signing of the offseason.

The pregnant James tried to explain it away as a reference to a doctor’s appointment, but it seems dubious given the news that followed later. James is even more famous than her husband in most circles. The Italian-born beauty is a country music singer, who had success with her first album, “Jessie James,” as the single “Watch” reached No. 40 on the Billboard charts.
The Deckers met through mutual friends in 2011 and married in June 2013. They are expecting their first child, a girl, this spring. They also star in their own E! reality show, called “Eric & Jessie: Game On,” which has its second season set to premiere on March 30.
“I think both of us, we come from good roots. I come from small-town Minnesota. Didn’t have a lot growing up. Had a good upbringing as far as earning what I’ve got. Knowing that’s what it takes to live your dream and be successful,” Eric Decker told the Denver Post of his relationship with James and how it would come out in the reality show.
“Jessica being a military kid had to move a lot, had to go through a lot of change and transition. That’s something that’s always hard on a kid, but I think you mature from that. I think that keeps us grounded. We keep each other grounded. There’s times in your careers when you’re on a high and maybe you had a couple touchdowns or she had a big gig somewhere and did well. But just being home with our dogs, knowing people in our neighborhood, saying hi to the neighbors, it’s just normal stuff.”
