The Raiders released veteran receiver Jordy Nelson Bo Jackson Jersey , Marcus Thompson of TheAthletic.com reports.Nelson was due a $3 million salary, up to $500,000 in a roster bonus and a $100,000 workout bonus this year. After the Raiders gave Nelson a $3.6 million bonus early for salary cap purposes, Jon Gruden declared that Nelson would return.His $3 million salary for 2019 was scheduled to become fully guaranteed if he was on roster Friday, Michael Gehlken of the reports. Nelson, 33, became the odd-receiver out after the Raiders upgraded the position with a trade for Antonio Brown and the signing of Tyrell Williams.Nelson signed a two-year, $14.2 million deal with the Raiders a year ago after the Packers cut him.He appeared in 15 games and made 63 catches for 739 yards and three touchdowns last season.Now, Nelson hits the free agent market again, and the Raiders have not ruled out re-signing him to a reduced salary, according to Gehlken. Last Friday, when the Antonio Brown helmet controversy broke loose on the NFL news cycle, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Brown threatened that he would not play football again if he couldn’t wear his helmet of choice. On Thursday night, Brown disputed that report.“I don’t know where they got that https://www.raiderslockerroom.com/authentic-antonio-brown-jersey , who made that up, either,” Brown told reporters, via Michael Gehlken of the. “Why would I retire, man? I’ve got a beautiful career. I’m healthy. I love to play the game. . . . I’m grateful to play the game.”It’s easy for Brown to say that now, given that he has found “a few” Schutt AiR Advantage helmets that are less than 10 years old, one of which presumably can be reconditioned and recertified for use. A week ago, before Brown realized that a loophole existed and as he faced a hearing on his grievance against the league’s helmet rules, huffing and puffing was a viable approach to dealing with the situation. From threatening to retire to advancing a goofy argument that the NFL will be liable if Brown is injured in a new helmet, Brown’s representatives were throwing the kitchen sink at the problem.Besides, it was Brown himself who said on social media last week, “[I]f I leave will the fans still gone love me man?”Things can get nasty in #scooptown, where reporters often take silent delight in a competitor’s report being refuted. But there’s no way Schefter made up the report that Brown was threatening to take his 10-year-old Schitt Air Advantage and go home. Schefter undoubtedly got the information from someone close to Brown, and the leak surely was calculated to make sure the NFL and the arbitrator understood the potential stakes of the decision as to whether he’d be allowed to keep wearing his helmet.
