depends on Carr but raiders are not exactly a team I'm excited about.Defense got worse and his competition for WR2 on the team is out of the league......how good can Jordy be this year?

It's close.. Week 1 was a super tough matchup in which the WR's clearly weren't part of the game plan for the Raiders. I do like the other two guy's you may target. They signed M Bryant. The Raiders play the Broncos this week so I don't think things are gonna get much better. I'd say either hold onto him a few more weeks and see or just make the move. I'd go Godwin but I like both.4 targets, 3 receptions, 23 yards in Week 1.
Is anybody dropping him. It's very early but I've toyed with the idea of dropping him for someone like Geronimo Allison or Chris Godwin.
Too bad that he ended his career at the Raiders and their disaster of a season. Would have been nice to see him contribute some on a team that is actually functioning like an NFL team.He's reportedly going to be retiring today or tomorrow.
The retirement tweet has since been deleted and called a baseless rumor.Too bad that he ended his career at the Raiders and their disaster of a season. Would have been nice to see him contribute some on a team that is actually functioning like an NFL team.
Coach Jon Gruden said Monday that Jordy Nelson (knee, quad) could return in Week 12 against the Ravens.
Specifically, Gruden said Nelson "has a chance" to resume practicing, which would indicate a chance to play. With Brandon LaFell (Achilles') done for the year and Martavis Bryant (PCL) out indefinitely, Jordy has an opportunity to emerge as the Raiders' No. 1 wide receiver down the stretch.

Raiders released WR Jordy Nelson.
Nelson's fate was sealed after the Raiders lavished $44 million on Tyrell Williams. It also comes after the Raiders already paid Nelson's 2019 roster bonus. De facto GM Jon Gruden had previously insisted Nelson would be back for 2019. What Gruden says has had little correlation with what he does in Oakland. Although three steps slower than he was during his prime, Nelson played decent high-volume football for the Raiders down the stretch last year. He should have a market if he opts to continue playing.

Mayock discussed the tyrell signing, and said it wasn't the plan but williams really wanted to play with carr and Antonio and his agent said let's get something done.Faust said:De facto GM Jon Gruden had previously insisted Nelson would be back for 2019.

Didn't he get $11MM per - that's a pretty big money offer for what he's done in his career to date.Mayock discussed the tyrell signing, and said it wasn't the plan but williams really wanted to play with carr and Antonio and his agent said let's get something done.
To me that sounds like the agent was a little desperate and williams wasn't getting a lot of big money offers. It's like that dipstick who texted Cleveland saying come get me. It's a trap.
Right. Not a good look for mayock if the agent chased him and he still paid the high end of market value.Didn't he get $11MM per - that's a pretty big money offer for what he's done in his career to date.
I thought he did a good job of "not running" in this game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFA5zkic6VYHe can't run and honestly the fact they were able to have him be productive the last month of the season is just another reason for me to be high on AB going to Oakland. I honestly thought last year he might retire in-season.
I hope that video was not a defense of him to my comment that he can't run.I thought he did a good job of "not running" in this game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFA5zkic6VY
Not a defense of that at all. In fact I agreed with you that he has lost a step. I was trying to make a case that he is still useful despite his decline.I hope that video was not a defense of him to my comment that he can't run.
If WR starved NE picked him up he could produce some fantasy stats but at this point he's a shell of himself.
Free agent WR Jordy Nelson is retiring from the NFL after 11 seasons.
Nelson turns 34 in May. The former 36th overall pick out of Kansas State in 2008, Nelson spent the first 10 years of his career by Aaron Rodgers' side in Green Bay before ending it with a forgettable one season with Derek Carr last year. A premier touchdown scorer, Nelson had three double-digit touchdown seasons, scoring 57 of his 72 career touchdowns in a five-season span between 2011-2016, which includes a missed 2015 campaign. Nelson won Comeback Player of the Year in 2016 and made it to one Pro Bowl. He could be destined for the Packers' Ring of Honor.

Probably would've been had Driver and Jennings not been there for his early part of the career.Great player - obviously not a Hall of Famer, but what a solid and memorable NFL career.
I think so. Even if he would change his mind (which I think is unlikely) he is a very replaceable WR at this point in his career. I wouldn't be surprised if he goes back home and farms or something. I was trying to think of another WR that had similar numbers and I come up with Marques Colston. Both were very solid WR.safe drop in dynasty?
Retired free agent Jordy Nelson admitted "it would probably be hard to say no" if the Packers asked him to come out of retirement.
The soon-to-be 34-year-old (next month) announced his retirement last week after his release from the Raiders. The Packers always made sense as a potential fit due to his long history with the team and relationship with Aaron Rodgers. But Green Bay appears content for now with Davante Adams and Geronimo Allison atop the depth chart with youngsters Equanimeous St. Brown, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Jake Kumerow, and J'Mon Moore behind them. Nelson will likely be on the Packers' phone list if an injury occurs.

Jordy Nelson retired as a Packer on Sunday.
The Packers signed him to a one-day contract, allowing him to retire with the team he spent most of his career with. Nelson amassed 7,848 receiving yards during his decade-long stint in Green Bay, good for fifth-most in franchise history. The one-time Pro Bowler compiled a 63-719-3 line as a Raider last year.
