Jordy Nelson News
Retired wide receiver Jordy Nelson, who spent 10 years with the Green Bay Packers, said he would consider coming out of retirement if the Packers and quarterback Aaron Rodgers asked him to come back. Nelson had 550 catches for 7,848 yards and 69 touchdowns with Rodgers from 2008 to 2017. He also hd four 1,000-yard seasons with the Packers while earning Pro Bowl honors in 2014 on the way to a Super Bowl title. Nelson will be 34 in May and Green Bay already has Davante Adams, Geronimo Allison and Equanimeous St. Brown at wideout. It's also unclear if Nelson would just sign a one-day contract with the team to retire with them.
Former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson announced his retirement from football on Wednesday, according to former teammate and NFL Network analyst James Jones. The third leading receiving in Packers history played 10 seasons in professional football, accumulating 613 receptions, 8,587 yards and 72 touchdowns in 151 games played. The former second-round pick in 2008 had four 1,000-yard seasons and scored double-digit touchdowns three times. In his prime, he was one of the best receivers in point-per reception leagues while matched up with quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
The Oakland Raiders released veteran wide receiver Jordy Nelson on Thursday, a source informed of the situation told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Nelson was a disappointment in his lone season in Oakland, catching 63 passes for 739 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games (14 starts). He'll turn 31 years old and can still help a team out, but Nelson's days of being fantasy relevant might be coming to an end soon. There was less of a need to keep Nelson after the Raiders added receivers Antonio Brown and Tyrell Williams this week.
