Packers Releasing Nelson?

[Patler]

I hated seeing Nelson decline last year. I had hoped it was a combination of an undisclosed nagging injury, Hundley and age, because he had started the season quite well. Apparently, it was just age. I thought he might last a little longer, being a big, strong, country kid. Thought he might play til he was 35-36 like some of the other bigger receivers have. Oh well...............

Graham does not excite me at all. Hope it works out. I don't like TEs that play that soft.

I'm going to miss him... figured either him or Cobb was a goner b/c of their cap numbers, was hoping it would be Cobb.

Maybe we resign him cheap??

They've already bid him farewell. Won't happen unless it's a James Jones-type situation.

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

well, it's not like Nelson was underperforming. The message would be, "Don't turn 33."

It's not final until NElson shows up on "Dancing with the Stars"

What a bummer, it doesn't sound like he'll be back. One of the all-time great Wisconsin and Packer guys. Not a bad word to say about him. All class, on and off the field, great role model, etc.

It's a bittersweet day... lose Jordy, but hey!!! we're active in FA!!! LOL

Hoping Wilkerson can be rejuvenated, and Graham hasn't lost a step. I think both those guys make the Packers a better team. Throw that on top of jettisoning that worthless slug Randall, and all in all it's been a good few days for the Packers.

He's a farmer. Isn't that close enough?

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.

I'll believe it when I see it.

According to an #NFL source, the #Packers did offer Jordy Nelson the opportunity to come back at a significantly lower salary than he was slated to make. Not sure what the number was, but was told it wasn't for a lot more than the 10-year veteran minimum.

According to an #NFL source=agent or Rodgers given that it is Wilde reporting here

Sounds like he’s heading to Oakland for a visit.

Yep.

Amid frenzy, Raiders been measured these past two days. Some action on Wednesday: former Packers WR Jordy Nelson is visiting team, source said.

I expect Nelson will be back on a three year deal, with a $10M signing bonus and a minimum salary this year. That will give him the same cash he would have gotten this year anyway, but will cut his 2018 cap hit in half.

That sounds like a plan. I suspect, though, Jordy wants to shop around and see if he can get more somewhere. If there was an agreement already, I think they would have announced the whole deal at the same time.

I'd like to see them work out something like that with Cobb too, but he too probably thinks he's worth more and will want to test the water if/when he is cut.

IMO - as I've said many times, the solution(s) at WR are already in house. It will piss me off extremely if they let Janis get away. With him and Davis and and Clark and Yancey, in addition to Adams and Allison, we are pretty damn strong at the position.
