Even with the knee, he was on a #1 WR pace until Rodgers went down. I get why the Pack did this but at the same time I am surprised as they just cut Rodgers favorite downfield weapon. But losing Rodgers did really expose where Nelson is as a player.
Overall i'm pretty lukewarm on the Packers moves today. They did desperately need that big TE and it should improve their Red zone offense, which isn't great, but they really needed an athlete in the middle of the field and that isn't Graham. Considering i'm assuming that Graham is going to cost what they were paying Nelson I think this is almost a wash.
Still in big need of D help too, some of which will need to come via FA so hopefully their is a plan there. Would also expect a Rodgers extension will come soon and that should open up some cap space.
