Packers Releasing Nelson?

[Bossman641]

With him and Davis and and Clark and Yancey, in addition to Adams and Allison, we are pretty damn strong at the position.

This sentence nearly made me throw up

I agree with Tex, the utes are ready to take over. (Cousin Vinny reference)

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

Aaron Rodgers pays tribute to Jordy Nelson after Packers make 'best decision for us'

Comment woodbuck27:

That above HEADLINE. Is that a deceit?

Did Aaron Rodgers 'in fact' say or was he quoted as saying that the release of Jordy Nelson was 'best decision for us'?

In a quote I got from the NFL Network, I would have to refute that's Aaron Rodgers stance on seeing his best 'Hook Up' Jordy Nelson 'be told Bye Bye' by the Green Bay Packers Brass.

The Quote I heard attributed to Aaron Rodgers after Jordy Nelson's release came to his knowledge was much like this:

Loyalty isn't rhetoric but rather action. Please check for that quote.

BY: Rob Demovsky ... ESPN Staff Writer

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- If the Green Bay Packers offered Jordy Nelson a pay cut -- and indications are they did -- then it must have been so low that the one-time Pro Bowl receiver decided to take his chances somewhere else. ....

Nelson was due to make $10.25 million in salary and bonuses in the final season of a four-year $39 million deal. .... ESPN Wisconsin reported that the Packers offered Nelson the chance to return at a significantly reduced salary.

There also does not appear to be a possibility that Nelson could be re-signed in the foreseeable future.

"I don't think at this time," Gutekunst said. "You never say never. We'd like to keep that relationship as strong as possible, but at the same time, I wouldn't say at this time."

Nelson ranks third in team history in catches (550), fifth in receiving yards (7,848) and second in touchdowns (69).

He and Aaron Rodgers also hold the franchise record for most touchdowns (65) between a receiver-quarterback duo.

aaronrodgers12 ...Hard to find the right words today to express what 87 means to me. No teammate exemplified what it means to be a packer quite like him. From living in GB full time, his incredible contributions to the city, state, and region, to his consistent, reliable play on the field. Definitely a sad day and the toughest part of this business. There will never be another quite like white lightning.[/B] #leader #brother #friend #baller #loyal #champion #legacy #intact #stillcanplayball #backshoulder #1stSBTD

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.

Comment woodbuck27: I'd have to strongly disagree.

Amongst that group do you genuinely see that NO. 1 WR that can take the head off of Davante Adams? I certainly don't see any strong indication of that being the case.

Sad news indeed. You have to wonder, tho. Jordy disappeared after Rodgers went down last year but Adams still flourished with Hundley masquerading as a QB. I suspect this is the reason why we didn't make him a serious offer to keep him.

Jordy's going to Sunny California (Oakland) as his first stop after being booted by the Packers.

With GM Reggie McKenzie and Edgar Bennett having history with Jordy Nelson. It'll be interesting to see if The Raiders pick him up.

That, and he looked like he was running in wet concrete.

[Rutnstrut]

Word on NFL network is that GB extremely lowballed Jordy on a renegotiation. He is in talks with The Raiders, I wish him well.

[run pMc]

Not very confident in the WRs behind Jordy on the depth chart. If he doesn't sign with the Raiders or Browns, does he come back a la James Jones?

Someone mentioned a cutup of Cobb, wonder if there was a similar cutup of Jordy done. Seemed like last year he couldn't get much YAC and struggled to separate, but who knows.

Re-sign Janis for $2 M/yr and insert him into the lineup. Problem solved.

Plus, Gruden has a thing for aging receivers. Tim Brown, Jerry Rice, Keenan McCardell, etc.

The next time we se Jordy ina Packer Uni is for his Packers HOF Induction.

His lamp went out fast ! Maybe it just got down to it really working for Jordy and Aaron.

Chemistry and Aaron Rodgers exceptional skills.

I doubt he'll don a uniform for that.

[woodbuck27]

Spotrac has already erased his contract from the site. Anyone know what his bonus situation was this year? Its normally the 3rd or 5th day of the League year, but technically a bonus could come due anytime.

I thought I read two Bonus's in the $200 K (check that?) Ballpark pbmax.
