Now that that's out of the way: Jordy Nelson is the ****ing man and we should bring him home to play for his childhood favorite NFL team.
He has 1 year left on his contract and then becomes a FA in 2015. It would be so badass to see him come home and tear shit up at one of our greatest positions of need. Hell, if Maclin's knee still works, bring him too.
Dorsey and crew thought enough of JN to draft him in the second round, and the dude is in his prime. Next season will be his 7th year, and if we can somehow pry him away from Green Bay I would love to do so before they extend him.
Thoughts? What is his trade value worth? Or do we wait and see if he hits FA?

I just don't see us losing either one of those guys. They are ELITE, at positions that are hard to find ELITE players at.
Looks like we would save 7M in '16 and 10M in '17 if we cut him after next year. [Reply]

If so, thats some decent monies. What's that, 30.8 M?
I believe those are the savings once we cut them next year. Those are all of the "cap savings" from cuts in 2015. Cutting them this year would drastically reduce that number due to the increase in dead money hitting the cap. [Reply]

They've got 3 WRs that need new deals and they just drafted 3 more WRs this year. They're more than likely going to have to pick between Nelson and Cobb. [Reply]
I would love to have him but it's not going to happen. They already lost a couple of weapons this off season. They aren't going to let Jordy go. [Reply]

Sounds like he got most of what he wanted. [Reply]

Not really surprising as most of us thought. Rogers loves Jody and trust his hands in clutch situations. [Reply]
