Two of the biggest names among receivers available in free agency found new homes on Wednesday, when Eric Decker signed with the New York Jets and Golden Tate agreed to terms with the Detroit Lions.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Decker will receive $36.25 million over five years with $15 million in guarantees. Tate confirmed to ESPN's Josina Anderson that he accepted Detroit's five-year offer worth $31 million with $13.25 million guaranteed.

In New York, Jets GM John Idzik said there would be an “emphasis” placed on improving the skill position talent on offense and many observers considered Decker to be the top wideout on the market.

At the very least, as New York Daily News staffer Manish Mehta suggested, Decker, who flourished with Peyton Manning in the Broncos’ high-octane offense last season, will be a welcomed addition to a lackluster wide receiver corps. The 6-3, 214-pounder had 87 catches for 1,288 yards, 11 touchdowns and averaged 14.8 yards per catch last year.

Decker, coming off back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, has 33 touchdowns in his four-year career. He will turn 27 on Saturday.

One concern: Decker will be playing with a lesser QB in New York -- whether Geno Smith is the starter or the team adds another who can wrest the job away. That said, there will be ample opportunity in New York. The Jets, who released Santonio Holmes this week, only have one reliable starting-caliber receiver on the roster: Jeremy Kerley. ...

Meanwhile, as NFL.com's Chris Wesseling put it, "For the first time in his seven-year career, Calvin Johnson has a game-breaking sidekick at wide receiver."

Tate's arrival certainly gives the team a more reliable No. 2 man than Matthew Stafford is accustomed to. Tate has hauled in 144 of 149 catchable passes since 2011, leaving him with the best drop rate in the NFL over that span, according to Profootballfocus.com.

Wesseling also noted that Tate, a running back early in his college career, led all NFL receivers in forced missed tackles and yards after catch per reception in 2013 (per PFF). He was also second in punt-return yards and first in punt-return efficiency. ...

One receiver who won't be moving on? Jacoby Jones, who agreed to a new four-year contract with the Ravens.

Jones' new deal follows extensions with tight end Dennis Pitta and left tackle Eugene Monroe, as Baltimore attempts to improve their offense with a new coordinator in Gary Kubiak. Jones had visited the Giants Wednesday, but was on his way back to Baltimore to sign the deal.

As Profootballtalk.com's Darin Gantt suggests, his return ability alone makes him worth keeping, but he lends a deep element to the passing game that is needed, especially with a run game that struggled the way Baltimore’s did a year ago.
