ALAMEDA, Calif. — As soon as Jordy Nelson was released by the Green Bay Packers, the Oakland Raiders put on a full-court press to acquire the former Pro Bowler. “The plan was to make some other trips, but you never know what’s going to happen,” Nelson said Thursday. Nelson had four 1,000-yard seasons in Green Bay, including 1,519 yards on 98 catches in 2014. Crabtree had a $7.7 million cap hit for this season but there is no dead money with his release. The 30-year-old Crabtree had 232 catches for 2,543 yards and 25 touchdowns in three seasons with the Raiders.
