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

An article in the Wisconsin State Journal on June 15 includes these comments from Jordy Nelson. “We’re not coming back. There’s no doubt about that. We’re done,” the former Green Bay Packers star wideout said during an interview on ESPN Wisconsin last week. “I’ve always laughed and talked to Emily about it — when you first get in the NFL and you’re performing very well, you’re underpaid; and then when you sign a big contract, you become overpaid. 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.”
