Crabtree cut, Nelson signed

[DMD]

Not sure how much of an upgrade it is though. Crabtree was solid and Nelson seems to have lost a step.

I always thought that Jordy did so well in Green Bay because of the chemistry that he had with Rodgers.  There were a lot of back-shoulder catches on the sideline.  They were great catches on even better throws.  Clearly, Hundley couldn't make those throws.  Carr is good but not as good as Rodgers.  With the Raiders, I think Jordy has a tier 3 floor with a tier 2 ceiling.

how much money did OAK save doing this? At best, a lateral move. Was Crabtree hurt?

 

It might have been more about locker room culture than talent.

i thought crabtree did relatively well in oak. 

 

while nelson seems to be breaking down, i think last year had more to do with hundley than nelson.  nelson may not be able to get open long, but should still be a solid possession guy.

He was set for 12.8M salrary-cap hit https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/2017/12/22/16810228/the-packers-gm-game-what-is-jordy-nelson-worth-in-2018-contract-extension-ted-thompson-poll.

The Packers salary-cap hit is now 2.3M. https://overthecap.com/player/jordy-nelson/1121

So about 10.5M

I heard about this with Crabs last week that Gruden wanting to clean up the locker room before the Nelson signing.

I think there's a cream for that...
