Nelson has really impressed me this season, especially with his big play ability. He's not gifted with exceptional speed or athleticism, but the way he and Rodgers work together is impressive. He's a great route-runner, and has exceptional hands as well. Great signing, and a fairly cheap deal for the player you're locking up. Good move by the Packers.

Thoughts?

Good deal for the Packers, Nelson is going to be one of the better TE in the league.
