Jordy Nelson to Retire as a Packer in August

You knew this was going happen, just not when.  Jordy Nelson appeared on WIBW TV in Topeka, Kansas on June 3rd and gave us all a date range.


Jordy told that station's Melissa Brunner, "So that is the plan, to go up there in August during training camp, sign the one-day deal, retire as a Green Bay Packer, and move on from there."  He added that if the Raiders wouldn't have released him, he would have probably played another year.  Although there were opportunities, going to another team was out of the question.   He didn't want to move the family again.
