But it made another turn when the Packers’ nine-year veteran receiver said that he was “hurt” about how things ended so abruptly.
“I met with Brian and had a discussion because I had to get a feel for not just the pay cut but what their plans were going forward,” Nelson said on Monday’s Wilde and Tausch radio show. “After that meeting, there wasn’t, I don’t think, much desire there. I think the hurt part was, to be honest, was the unwillingness to try to make it work.”
The reason this smells funny is because we originally found out that Nelson was willing to take a pay cut.
