Cut after signing Jimmy Graham, addition by subtraction imo but oh well. For the right price n if healthy lets do it! Lynch kick the tires at least.

🤔 those were from both 2016-2017...in his 4 games with Rogers this past yr he avg 60 yards a game and had 7 TDs.

Alll of our WRs over 16 games this yr has 7 TDs.

Dude doesn't have to be a #1 WR for us and wouldn't get paid to be one

Lol, People love older big named FA's after they've been let go. Derrick Johnson, Tamba Hali and now Jordy Nelson. Though, Nelson may have a little more left in the tank than the other two. I rather pass because I don't want to see him steal snaps from Taylor, Bourne, Bolden and a possible rookie.

I mean didn't look awful to me...here's some highlights of him AFTER his ACL.

A highlight video?

Every WR looks great in a highlight video. Watch the games and you'll see how he has no ability to separate anymore.

If he's not a #1 WR anymore, then we really don't need him. I don't want Jordy pushing Trent Taylor out of his slot role. It's the same reason I also didn't want Robinson or Watkins. If the added receiver isn't drastically improving our receiving core, I'd rather the kid stay on the field so he can keep getting better.

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.

The vet min is about $1M.

That's honestly really insulting. He'll get at least $7-8M in a one year deal, possibly more. Might even be from us.

Dude has been the master of the back shoulder catch. Him and Rodgers had that down to a science

What do you think he's gonna get paid to be a top tier WR1 lol no he's not...you said he was done and slow and clearly he's not. He's not Nelson from 4 yrs ago but he's not f**king awful. Low risk red zone target for a yr

Stop it we need to score TDs and he can do that...so you don't want us to draft a WR either? He's not gonna be a full time WR

Not every signing has to be a top end player there's 53 players on a team...dude likes to score TDs and I'd bet money Jimmy G wouldn't mind throwing him a couple...same s**t as when we brought in Moss (even though Nelson could offer a little more then him at that pt).
