NFL Rumors: Raiders Release Jordy Nelson After One Season in Oakland

Jordy Nelson's time as a Raider has come and gone.

The Raiders reportedly released the veteran wide receiver on Thursday. Marcus Thompson of The Athletic was first to report the news. It was then confirmed by ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Nelson, 33, played in 15 games for the Raiders last season. He finished the year with 63 receptions for 739 yards and three touchdowns. 

The Raiders signed Nelson to a two-year, $15 million contract on March 16, 2018. On Dec. 28, he was given a $3.6 million roster bonus by the team.

The move comes quickly after the Raiders added Antonio Brown and Tyrell Williams to their receivers corps. That duo combined for nearly 2,000 yards receiving in 2018.
