Jordy Nelson has played his entire career in one spot. The beloved Green Bay receiver will have to carry on with another, after the Packers released him Tuesday to clear salary cap space.
The Raiders will have a chance to get him first. He’ll visit the team’s Alameda complex on Wednesday afternoon, according to the Las Vegas Review Journal, and meet up with some old friends.
Raiders receivers coach Edgar Bennett is certainly an attraction. He was Nelson’s receivers coach in Green By from 2011-14 and his offensive coordinator – head coach Mike McCarthy called the plays – from 2015-17.
