According to NFL reporter Ian Rapoport:

The Packers and Nelson agreed to a four-year extension worth $39 million with $14.2 million guaranteed.  Nelson averages $9.76 million on his new deal, which is a large upgrade. He also gets an $11.5 million signing bonus.

In the seasons since signing his extension in 2011, Nelson has averaged 1,107 receiving yards and 10 TDs. In 2013, Nelson recorded a career-high 1,314 yards, despite not having Aaron Rodgers for almost half the season.  His contract extension is well deserved.
