Report: Raiders to sign Jordy Nelson on 2-year, $15M deal

The Oakland Raiders are signing wide receiver Jordy Nelson to a two-year contract worth $15 million, with $13 million guaranteed, former teammate and current NFL Network analyst James Jones 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).
