Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers continues to be vocal about his team's offseason moves as it begins organized training activities.

Rodgers brought up released wide receiver Jordy Nelson when asked if the Packers should sign free agent Dez Bryant.

"I don't know why you'd cut Jordy (Nelson) and bring in Dez (Bryant), but he’s a talented player," Rodgers told reporters Tuesday, according to Packersnews.com's Ryan Wood.

However, the two-time Most Valuable Player added his team would "welcome (Bryant) with open arms" if the opportunity presented itself.

Rodgers has admitted it was tough to see Nelson leave before being able to 'finish up' with his former teammate.

It's been an offseason of changes for the star signal-caller, as Rodgers lost Nelson and quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt, while Green Bay added tight end Jimmy Graham via free agency.
