Former Packers WR Jordy Nelson is retiring from football

The Hoodie keeps breaking news about his former teammates. James Jones, the former Green Bay Packers receiver, was the first to have details of Aaron Rodgers’ new contract extension last summer. Now he is breaking news about another old teammate, Jordy Nelson.

The Packers released Nelson last offseason due to a large scheduled salary cap hit in 2018. Like Jones did after leaving Green Bay a few seasons before, Nelson then signed a two-year contract with the Oakland Raiders, but only played there for one season before being released by his new team.
