Huh

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Conjecture is he’s still available because he’s asking for a huge salary and waiting for someone to get desperate

 

[Cowpolk]

Is he related to Ricky Nelson?

Steven Nelson's agent wrote this load of crap. LOL

He obviously is snoozing on Nashon.

Another one of those "I've outplayed my contract and deserve a raise" players.

“I felt, and also my agent felt, that we were due an extension due to the fact that I had outplayed my current contract for the past two years,” Nelson explained. “Given that where the corner market is, there was a lot of high cap numbers on the team going into the offseason. Everybody can put two and two together. Somebody like myself, in my prime, would have thought to help that situation, and an extension would at least be at the front of the line for discussion. But it clearly didn’t go that way for whatever reason. The Steelers wanted to move a different way and thought I was expendable in my prime via trade.”

“I know my value.” Nelson stated. “I know my worth. I just turned 28. Being a five-year starter, a proven starter. I’ve played over a thousand snaps, maybe the only corner who has played a thousand snaps in the last three years. If you’re talking durability and what teams want, you know what you’re going to get.”

“I don’t what to put out the exact teams, but let’s just say about a third of the NFL, a lot of corner-needed teams, have reached out,” Nelson stated.

So even though he was allowed to work out a trade, he failed to find a team to make a deal and was released. Yet, a third of the NFL has inquired about his services.
And he's still unemployed.

Something don't make sense about that at all.

Hate myself for saying this, but he is a JAG.

They should fine someone for violating the code of ethics…I thought they were concerned about league integrity…

I keed, I keed…

 

[big dog cowboy]

After months of being a free agent, suddenly signing Nelson would make him the Cowboys CB1???

 

[Cowpolk]

Can he play nose tackle?

 

[garyo1954]

Can he play nose tackle?

He'll play anywhere he wants for $8million a year.
With my hometown discount I'd do it for $7.95 million!

Okie dokie…….

Not sure why we have not been active in free agency since the draft.
Won't hurt our comp picks

for some teams, a JAG is just what the doctor ordered

 

[TheMightyVanHalen]

I love me some Mike Tomlin. If he let him go after only one year then that's a red flag in my book. He's never made the Pro-Bowl, has only 7 INTs in 6 years, so I don't see how he (whoever wrote that article) can be so certain that he would be better than what we already got. He's a progress stopper, IMO.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

He wasn’t happy with $8M in salary this year and wants a lot more on a long term deal. Big question is how much does he want? Jets have $30M available and haven’t signed him. Tells me he is probably looking for more than $12M+.

Not worth it.

bull.

you mean Micah Parsons, the expected defensive rookie of the year and to some best defensive player in the draft was the wrong choice. you mean, we should build a defense outside in...OMG really!!

how stupid

 

[ChuckA1]

Sorry, something just doesn't add up with this. I know there's a bunch of guys here that do more player research and know the stats better than I do, but I'd steer clear of this guy. Something just doesn't feel right about him.
