A potential form alternate to the customary Yukawa form is deduced. This nonlocal potential incorporates retardation of the meson and nucleon normalization factors. A phenomenological potential patterned after the Reid soft-core potential is constructed. This new phenomenological potential is compared with the Reid potential off the energy shell. The off-shell changes lead to a decrease in the binding energy of nuclear matter of 1.5 MeV/particle in the ³S₁-³D₁ state and an increase of 0.1 MeV/particle in the ¹S₀ state.
