Denver Broncos TE Julius Thomas Looking to Become the Next Eric Decker By Jumping Ship

Denver Broncos tight end Julius Thomas has become a household name ever since he started catching touchdown passes from Peyton Manning. He didn't factor in to the Broncos offense at all in 2012, Manning's first season, but the last two years he has caught 108 receptions for 1277 yards and 24 touchdowns (12 each of the last two seasons).

Like another of Peyton's favorite past targets, Eric Decker, it appears that Thomas is more than open to jumping ship and taking his talents elsewhere.

The 6'5" 250 pound Portland State product is thinking of heading to Oakland:

.@Julius_Thomas says becoming a #Raiders TE next season is a possibility. He'll wait and see if they reach out. Grew up a Raiders fan.

Should he do so, unlike Eric Decker, he will be going to a team with a pretty good quarterback in Derek Carr (or at least one better than Geno Smith). His chances of doing well away from Denver should he go to Oakland are much higher than Decker's.
