Packers Releasing Nelson?

[red]

I don't think cutting Nelson means Cobb is safe.

We need speed, size and agility. Cobb gives you the last...

Agreed Cobb shouldn’t feel safe

Former Packers’ WR Jordy Nelson, who turns 33 in May, wants to continue playing, per source.

Gutey with a 7 PM PC tonight.

Is Nelson the next packer that goes to the Vikes?

[Patler]

Having read the Packers statement it doesn't sound like he's coming back. To be honest, he looked like he was shot by the end of last year.

It does sound that way, doesn't it? Maybe they figure he is done physically.

Is Nelson the next packer that goes to the Vikes?

I would guess no. Seems like they are pretty well set at WR at the moment.

[Rastak]

I hope not, he looks like a shot fighter to use a boxing analogy.

I agree. Not only did he not have deep speed, but he seemed unable to break away from defenders after catching a short pass. It happens to the best.

Didn't realize he turns 33 in May. Wouldn't be surprised if he lands in Chicago for a year or 2.

Absolutely.

I would cheer if the Packers release CM III...let him GO !

A solid signing in Kirk Cousins for your Team Rastak.

Congratulations.

I've always liked Kirk Cousins. The Minnesota Vikings are the Team now to beat in the NFCN.

The fact #Packers WR Jordy Nelson was released means his career with them is over. If they intended to bring him back at lower cost they would have changed the existing deal.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein
The #Packers will clear $10.25 million in salary cap space with the release of WR Jordy Nelson. It will be used to fit Jimmy Graham onto their payroll.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein
In case you wondering, the #Packers will not be signing CB Trumaine Johnson. They were not in the running for him before the Graham signing. That deal will be way beyond their means.


Spoon does not think Jordy is coming back. Also claims he has team source that Nelson's release was to sign Graham, not afford another big deal.

I hope this puts the rest of the team on notice, especially the defense

That you can play for the 10-6 GBP and not get all your money OR move elsewhere and get more money and a chance to win more games?

The Packers, after Ted's tutelage, have traded one year of Nelson for 3 years of Graham.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein
Have to wonder about this with TE Jimmy Graham. in his last four games against the #Packers, he has 10 catches for 94 yards and a touchdown. Not exactly huge production.

Just came back to say this really sucks. All-time favorite packers to watch ever. Rodgers-Nelson-Favre in that order. Going to suck not seeing him out there.
