Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson is pushed out of bounds by Atlanta Falcons cornerback Robert Mc Clain after making a catch during an NFL football game Sunday Dec. 8 2013 in Green Bay Wis
In direct correlation to the Oakland Raiders signing former Pro Bowl wide receiver Jordy Nelson, Michael Crabtree now finds himself on the open market.
A person familiar with the move says Nelson has agreed to a two-year contract after the Raiders spent more than a day meeting with the former Green Bay Packers star.
Amari Cooper figures to be Carr's No. 1 option in the passing game next season, while Seth Roberts, Cordarrelle Patterson and Johnny Holton could all take on a greater role in the offense alongside the possibility of Nelson.
Following his scheduled visit with the Raiders, Nelson was reportedly set to meet with the Seattle Seahawks and New Orleans Saints but that will not now happen.
After enjoying one of the most productive seasons of his career in 2016, Crabtree's numbers dropped off during the 2017 campaign. He has strong ties to the Raiders.

Calamos Wealth Management LLC Invests $651000 in FedEx Co
Impala Asset Management Llc increased Smith A O (NYSE:AOS) stake by 222,691 shares to 240,951 valued at $14.32M in 2017Q3. Northpointe Capital Limited Liability Com stated it has 10,932 shares. 54 funds opened positions while 131 raised stakes.
Nelson joined the Packers as a second-round selection out of Kansas State in the 2008 NFL Draft.
His production dipped to 58 catches for 618 yards and eight touchdowns in 14 games a year ago, however, as the Raiders offense as a whole didn't play up to the level it had in 2016.
Last season, Nelson recorded 53 receptions for 482 yards and six touchdowns.
That decision was likely made easier by the fact that cutting him will not cost the Raiders any dead money against the salary cap. The 6-foot-3, 217-pound wideout caught 550 passes for 7,848 yards with 69 touchdowns over 10 seasons. He also ran for 1,402 yards in 2015 but has failed to reach 500 yards in any of his other four seasons as he was hampered by injuries and a suspension for performance-enhancing substances.
