GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Jordy Nelson, who a little more than a year ago said he was "hurt" that the Green Bay Packers didn't do more to try to help him finish his career with them, has decided to retire from the NFL as a member of the organization that brought him into the league.
Nelson, who played 10 seasons (2008-17) for the Packers, will sign a one-day contract with the team to retire.
The wide receiver played his final season in 2018 for the Oakland Raiders. Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst released Nelson shortly after the 2017 season.
