Colts | Indy signs two to future deals Tue Jan 5, 06:27 PM
Free-agent S Nick Nelson (Raiders) and TE Jordan Thomas (Patriots) were signed to Reserve/Future contracts by the Indianapolis Colts Tuesday, Jan. 5.
| Footballguys view: Thomas is a player we'll still monitor in crazy deep dynasty formats. He's a converted wide receiver and a huge target. He's bounced around the league a little bit but that skill set makes him intriguing. |

Raiders | Nick Nelson signs rookie deal Mon May 21, 03:26 PM
Oakland Raiders fourth-round draft choice CB Nick Nelson signed a four-year contract with the Raiders Monday, May 21. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Nelson is a hyper-competitive player who can make a play on the ball. He had a whopping 42 pass break ups during his college career (Hawaii and Wisconsin) and he set a record for the Badgers with 21 PBUs in 2017. It's interesting to note that Nelson never had an interception in college, even though he was breaking up passes and generally around the ball if it came his way. He played right cornerback in college, but will be looking to work his way on the field for the Raiders in defensive subpackages as a rookie. |
