The business side does kinda suck sometimes. Packers should be better moving forward though. Hopefully.


Aaron Rodgers is going to miss Jordy Nelson. That's what the Packers quarterback said in an Instagram post after the team released his friend and favorite receiver. "Hard to find the right words today to express what 87 means to me,' Rodgers wrote. "No teammate exemplified what it means to be a Packer quite like [more]

I look forward to Jordy being inaugurated into the Packer's HoF the first year he is eligible.

In another tweet that was quickly deleted Rodgers is rumored to have said "those bastards didn't even bother consulting me"

OK, so Gute did talk to Rodgers AFTER he decided to let Nelson go but I couldn't pass it up.

Again, Rodgers isn’t part of management.
Plus, if he really wanted Jordy back, he could have offered some of his own big payday to keep him here.

The greed factor is making me lose interest in the NFL...

We let Nelson go whom was rodgers favorite receiver and a Great team leader. And it was for the money.
Because we wanted to pay a guy that is nearly as old as nelson 10 mil a year (which is what nelson got paid) - so we didnt pay cook 2 years ago what was it 6 mil whom had great chemistry with rodgers but decided to pay bennett a loud mouth errr dude that count catch and gave up.

It was also suggested that nelson would of taken a pay cut to stay with the packers; which makes sense supposedly he lived there fulltime etc ... reminds me of driver in the pay cut and staying on for a bit.

I get it that nelson was a bit slower then he used to be but he had that chemistry with rodgers that no other receiver in the league had with any other QB.

Do we really think JG is going to be better then nelson? - ok sure if he doesnt have to run far and just stick his hands up in the endzone. But least with nelson he could do it all. TD passes and all.

And dont give me last year stats; we all knew whom was at QB position.
this was 2016 stats for nelson:
Jordy Nelson 97 (rec) 1,257 (yards) 13 60 14 (TD)
seriously - are they using last year stats?

I get it the new GM wants to make sure we know we have a new GM that can spend money. Funny how was it yesterday I was asking for a TE that was above 6'5 and that can catch ... (didnt really want to lose nelson in the process thou).

Im sad.

it is a sad day, but predictable and appropriate.
I thought Aaron's tweet was classy.
Jordy had been a great Packer, but with the money Cobb, Adams, et. al. are receiving, the Packers are salary heavy at the position and Jordy was the slowest and oldest.
Jordy may sign with another team, but will have a great life either way. I bet he has saved enough money to retire in style and move on to other things
Older guys are canned in corporate America all the time...that's sadder.

Even worse is people dropping their senior dogs off at the shelter. That's a one way ticket, in most cases. Cue Debbie Downer music.

He would have said something more like "glad they talked to me first" or something on those lines. He wouldn't (in my opinion) outright call them bastards, it's just not how he's been the last 10 plus years.
