who wanted to bet me he wasn't being cut

 

[rodell330]

I called Nelson being cut...and them signing Graham. But I also call Nelson being resigned for a cap friendly 1/2 year deal.

 

[ChesterfieldCheesehead]

Nooooooooooooooo

 

[Snoops]

We better resign him

 

[Ceodore]

I get it, but that's a big bummer.

 

[JP Doyal]

Heart broken...

 

[FaninColorado]

Maybe this is the way he wanted to restructure his deal? Put him and Graham at the same price that we had just Jordy.

 

[DarkHelmet]

This is really unfortunate. Unless the staff knows he's slipped significantly I don't like it. Restructure - sure. Cut him so the Bears, Vikings or Lions can get him for cheap? Blech!

 

[Mondio]

If there was guy that was going to re-sign at a lower contract, i think it could be him. I guess I won't get to see his dad at my friend's tailgate anymore.

I hope you're right again...

Listen - I love Nelson but this is a business and he wasn't improving it anymore. Most of us don't know what happened behind closed doors, but Nelson gave up on Hundley (IMO) and we need WRs that can win battles no matter who is throwing him the ball. Maybe Nelson will test the market and come back for the minimum, but there are no free lunches in the NFL.

And the other side of being aggressive in free agency.

Sorry Jordy. Thanks for the years of some amazing catches.

If he's not resigned then Rodgers isn't going to be too happy!

Why would they sign anyone for just 8 games?

 

[C-Lee]

Packer legend

I assumed he meant for 1-2 years

 

[thisisnate]

if they cut him to re-sign
it would have to be a massive pay cut
otherwise they would have just restructured his existing deal
fingers crossed he wants to be a packer so much he'll take chump change

 

[Alex]

Wow buzz kill on the new TE signing. Can't even be excited for 5 minutes.

 

[XPack]

cut him and then re-sign him for less?

Think this should be the plan.

Can't really see Nelson playing in any other colors

 

[Ogsponge]

Hmm, not sure I quite understand this to be honest with you but let’s see if Gute knows what he is doing.

 

[Snoops]

I guarantee Rodgers is pissed

 

[speakhands]

Honestly, if we're releasing Jordy, keeping Cobb, and then paying big money to a washed up move TE that can't block.....man, I already am losing faith in Gut.

 

[metallicblaze]

End of an era? Looks like we'll need to address WR2 in FA or the draft and keep Cobb in the slot.
