Packers WR and longtime Bears nemesis Jordy Nelson announces retirement

Bears fans will be happy to know that Aaron Rodgers-to-Jordy Nelson will only haunt them in their dreams now.

Nelson, who played 10 of his 11 seasons alongside Rodgers in Green Bay, is hanging it up:

🚨After more than a decade in the NFL, my brother, former #Packers & #Raiders WR @JordyRNelson is calling it a career. He’s stepping away from the game with more than 8,500 yards...72+ TD’s and as a SB Champion! I’m proud of him and happy for him and his family! #Ese’ #Respect

He was a thorn in the Bears' side over the last decade, going 14-3 against them in his 17 career matchups. Over that stretch, Nelson hauled in 1060 yards and eight touchdowns, averaging 62.4 yards per game against Chicago. Of the four games in which Nelson had 10+ receptions, two of them came against the Bears, both of them at Soldier Field.
