Jordy Retiring

[call_me_ishmael]

Great man, great Packer. Cheers on a good career.

How much of a shitty situation must it be in Oakland if Jordy will just walk away from $3M for the rest of the season? MM may be pissing a lot of us off, but at least he's not Gru.

Report: Raiders Player Says He Has to ‘Get the F*** Outta Here’

can't blame the guy. he thought he was going to a contender, and the team sold him on that. instead the team decides to get rid of their talent and tank the season

thats gotta be hard for hard working players like jordy who want to win

he might not be the last raider to call it quits either before the end of the season

I don't blame him. The Packers insulted him and his new team is a fucking wreck. Sure he wouldn't have tore it up in GB. But GB likes to collect overpriced underperforming veterans.

Over the hill WR that made enough cash to retire good for him. I am still glad he was let go from the Packers. Next is Cobb and CMIII. Possibly Bulaga too if he keeps getting hurt.

As a Packer, J-Nel was a class act through and through.

I think he injured his knee yesterday. Raiders should put J-Nel on IR first. That would allow him to “retire” with a little dignity (and continue collecting paychecks).

Quitting in the middle of a lost season Vonte Davis style would be akin to Tex quitting the army in the waning moments of ‘Nam (the only foreign war the US has ever lost, or so I read).

Where’s the honor in leaving your band of bros behind to rot in the arena, with bloods beneath their feet, while the war rages on?

if we were real contenders you might want to think about trading a 7th for him (or picking him up if oak release their rights) but since we're not...

Why, though? For all the problems the Packers have had this year, their receiving corps has not been one of them.

If he were a tight end, or a pass-rushing OLB, or a safety who could play back and call the defense, well, then we'd be talking.

But Nelson, class act that he is, is not the receiver he was, and would not add anything to this roster at this point.

I find it kinda curious that there is no news anywhere online yet about Jordy retiring. Perhaps this is "Fake News"?

It's just that with Oakland, no one will notice the difference.

[gbgary]

Why, though?

for his experience and connection with Rodgers. the O's ineptness has a lot to do with the lack of that. but as i said you might consider this only as a move if they were real contenders.

Not quite an insult. The Packers paid him $4mil or $5 mil for 2018 already. They said they'd pay him a total of $7mil. Only someone who doesn't understand NFL contracts would construe that as an insult. Granted, he was getting the money from GB one way or the other. So it made perfect sense for him to leave. But he wasn't insulted.

the reporter is walking this back and the team is saying it isn't true soooooo...nevermind.

wonder if he's the player that said he "needed to get the fuck out of here"
