Ranking the current top landing spots for Jordy Nelson

4. Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks have moved to the front of the line for Nelson with the first reported visit, and they could use a more viable No. 3 wide receiver behind Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett with David Moore and Jaron Brown combining for 40 catches last year. Overall, no Seahawk other that Baldwin and Lockett even had 40 catches. Playing with Russell Wilson is also a selling point, as Nelson obviously has experience working with a great quarterback.

Seahawks general manager John Schneider was in the Packers front office when Nelson was drafted back in 2008, so there’s a tie there that may appeal to Nelson as well. Despite their lack of catch volume, Moore and Brown had 10 touchdowns between them and Nelson (6-foot-3) looks like he could at least still be a viable red zone target.

Even with a shift back toward a more run-oriented identity last season, Seattle seriously lacks weapons around Wilson. If they have any hope of surpassing the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC West next season, and getting back to the top of the NFC as a legit Super Bowl contender, Nelson looks like nice fit as a complementary piece. But there are better spots for him.
