After spending nearly a decade as Aaron Rodgers’ favorite target in Green Bay, Jordy Nelson will officially retire with the Packers.
Nelson, who retired after 10 seasons in the NFL in March, said on Monday that he plans to return to Green Bay in August to sign a ceremonial one-day contract and officially retire with the Packers.
“We’re heading back up there in August sometime. We haven’t pinpointed the date yet, but again we wanted to get our family back to Kansas and allow the kids to be able to make it up there,” Nelson said on WIBW in Topeka, Kansas.
