GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The end of Jordy Nelson's 10-year run with the Packers wasn't just a financial decision. It was a football move too.
At least that's the way the Pro Bowl wide receiver described it Monday during a radio interview on ESPN Milwaukee.
Nelson, who was cut March 13 and signed a two-year, $14.2 million deal with the Oakland Raiders two days later, confirmed the Packers offered a significant pay cut that he considered until he met with general manager Brian Gutekunst and discussed his likely role with the team this season.
