The Facts:
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Thursday that the Packers view an extension for Nelson as a priority, per a person informed of the team's plans.  Reported by NFL.com

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Nelson has one year at $2.5 million left on his contract. He is due a big raise. Entering his seventh season, Nelson has become one of quarterback Aaron Rodgers' favorite targets. The 28-year-old receiver has size, great hands and is one of the best difficult-pass catchers in the NFL. As NFL.com points out, the Packers generally keep the players they set out to re-sign. Green Bay sits north of $27 million in projected caps space this season. In case you missed it, Randall Cobb would also like an extension at some point in the near future. Assuming Nelson and Cobb are priorities, James Jones could be a free-agent to watch next month.
