Jordy Nelson, one of the bigger names in the NFL today was surprisingly cut earlier this week by the Green Bay Packers. And like every other marque wide receiver free agent, Ravens fans clamored to the idea of Jordy catching passes in the purple and black. That fantasy was short lived though, as he was signed by the Oakland Raiders on a two-year $15M deal.
I’m here to tell you Ravens fans, you shouldn’t be as distraught about missing out on this big-name wide receiver. Why, you ask? Nelson is such a good receiver, a proven deep threat and perfect for what Joe Flacco needs, right?
