Former Green Bay Packers wide receiver James Jones had some breaking news Thursdsay on Jordy Nelson.
Jones, an analyst for the NFL Network, reported that the recently-cut Nelson signed a two-year deal with the Oakland Raiders for $15 million dollars, $13 million of that guaranteed.
The Packers cutting Nelson saved the team around $10 million. It was the final year of his contract.
Nelson, who turns 33 on May 31, had six touchdowns in his first four games last season with Aaron Rodgers at the helm. But, when Rodgers went down, Nelson failed to score another TD.
He finished the season with just 482 yards on 53 catches in 15 games.
Nelson ended his Packers career third in franchise history in receptions, fifth in receiving yards, second in touchdown receptions and third in 100-yard receiving games
