Here’s is your reward for a brutally slow start to free agency (all due respect to Mr. Derek Carrier) — the Oakland Raiders may be on the cusp of signing a player who you have heard of. Former standout Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson is visiting the Raiders on Wednesday, according to the
Jordy Nelson perhaps on brink of becoming Raider
That would be dumb to cut Crab. you’d basically be right back where you were. Then again, the raiders lead the NFL in dumb, as much as it pains me to say. #ThanksReggie #Mark’sManCrush
I agree.
Why cut Crab? We need to let Roberts/Holten go. If we got Nelson (assuming he is healthy) then we could have 3 solid receivers.
Jordy is way better than Crabs. Huntley was beyond awful. In the 4 games Rodgers & Nelson played together, Nelson had 19 catches & 5 TDs. Nelson was 2nd in the league in converting his targets to completions @ the time of Rodgers injury. & yes, he may have lost some speed, but he was a 4.3 guy. I’ll guarantee he can run circles around Crabs & Roberts. Oh, & Nelson doesn’t drop the ball, take himself out of games or walk around like no one will give him a snickers bar. The Raiders would improve just by getting crabby out of that locker room.
He might only be a #3 now. Well, we need a true #3.
If his prior coach is all in, that would mean a lot to Gruden.
If the numbers are right, sign him up. No reason to cut Crab just yet. This could be a dynamic trio for Grudens O.
If the Raiders sign him, I would hope they keep Crabtree (yeah, I saw the whispers that Crabtree was done with the Raiders). But, keep Crabtree until you can either trade him or get another WR. Just my two cents.
Jordy would be perfect in the slot, we need more performance there. Turns out he’s pretty good there.
