Free agency is days away and the Arizona Cardinals have many soon-to-be free agents. One is receiver J.J. Nelson. Should he be brought back?
Nelson has been both a surprise and a disappointment.
Drafted in the fifth round four years ago out of UAB, he was expected to be nothing more than a return specialist. He became a bit of a playmaker, which raised expectations. However, dropped passes and inconsistent production have been an issue.
His best season was 2016 when he caught 34 passes for 568 yards and six touchdowns. He only had seven receptions last season. He was a healthy inactive player the final two games of the season, likely signaling his departure.
His speed is undeniable, which might make him attractive to Kliff Kingsbury in his new offense.
Should the Cardinals bring him back once more? Vote in the poll to give your thoughts.
