Comfortable in retirement, Jordy Nelson also looks at Packers and believes, “I definitely think I could have helped them” the past two seasons.

When you’re towards the end of your career, you get released and people say you’re too slow, you’ve lost a step, you can’t play anymore; and then apparently when you retire, everyone wants you to come back.”
