Report: Raiders trying to finalize deal with Jordy Nelson

Jordy Nelson's stay on the free-agent market may be a short one.

The Oakland Raiders are trying to finalize a deal with Nelson, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

"This is going to get done," a source told Schefter of the talks between the team and receiver.

Nelson was released Tuesday by the Green Bay Packers. He had meetings planned with the Seattle Seahawks and New Orleans Saints, but he may not get out of Oakland without a deal.

The 32-year-old former Pro Bowler played in and started 15 games last season, but he suffered mightily amid quarterback Aaron Rodgers' absence due to injury. He caught 53 of 88 targets for 482 yards and six touchdowns, his lowest receiving total since his sophomore season.

The Raiders are likely to release wide receiver Michael Crabtree if they're able to sign Nelson, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Crabtree, 30, totaled 618 yards and eight touchdowns last season. He has two years left on his contract with cap hits of $7.7 million in 2018 and $8.25 million in 2019.
