Raiders sign Jordy Nelson to reported 2-year, $15M deal

The Oakland Raiders announced the signing of free-agent wide receiver Jordy Nelson on Thursday.

Financial details weren't disclosed, but Nelson inked a two-year contract worth $15 million with $13 million guaranteed, NFL Network analyst James Jones (also his former teammate) reports.

Nelson will likely start alongside Amari Cooper following the reported release of Michael Crabtree.

The 32-year-old's streak of 1,000-yard seasons was stopped at three in 2017, as he struggled without his longtime quarterback Aaron Rodgers. He finished the season with 482 yards on 53 catches and averaged just 9.1 yards per catch.

However, Nelson is a dominant red-zone player, having caught 27 touchdowns combined in 2014 and 2016 (he missed all of the 2015 campaign due to a torn ACL).
