Jordy Nelson to retire

Despite having plenty of interest in his services, former Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson will be retiring from the NFL.

The news was broken by another former Packers wide receiver.

After more than a decade in the NFL, my brother, former #Packers & #Raiders WR @JordyRNelson is calling it a career. He’s stepping away from the game with more than 8,500 yards...72+ TD’s and as a SB Champion! I’m proud of him and happy for him and his family! #Ese#Respect

Nelson will be remembered as a great player and team mate, and will undoubtedly head to the Packers Hall of Fame in a few years.
