Brian Gutekunst traded up in the third round last year for Amari Rodgers. Now he’s off the team after a season and a half.

Amari Rodgers' latest fumble didn't just cost him the punt return job, it cost him his entire job.
The Packers released him today along with RB Kylin Hill.
Rodgers was third-round pick (No. 85 overall) in 2021, and now he's gone.
