Packers release WR Amari Rodgers & RB Kylin Hill

I was not expecting that. I was thinking Amari would be focusing on WR duties and if flopped there, cut.

Green Bay sent third- and fourth-round selections (92nd and 135th overall) for the 85th overall pick on Amari Rodgers. Ouch.

I sorta understand the Amari Rodgers release but I’m surprised by it.

I definitely don’t understand letting Hill go. What’s the reason? Who are they replacing them with?

I think Hill will be resigned to the PS.
Really don't. Know about Amari.
Sounds like Cobb will be ready for Thursady with the Amari move.

Crazy that Amari's Das coached Randall in College and Randall worked with Amari when he was in Hugh School .

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

I expected Amari to be released at the end of the season. Not mid season. Then again, he doesn't offer anything. He would be in the WR mix if he could play WR. 16 targets in 2 seasons shows that he doesn't have it as a WR.
Here is yet another 3rd round draft pick for Gute that has failed.
Rodgers in 21
Deguara in 20 has been rather meh
Sternberger in 19
Oren Burks in 18
Gute is 0-4 and nothing to show for the 22 selection Sean Rhyan. (Yet.)

I would have hoped that they could possibly trade Rodgers. Was thinking the Jaguars would have taken a flier to see if they might get some of the college success with Trevor Lawrence? I guess not. Unless the plan was as mentioned to try and stick him on the practice squad. Would Rodgers want that or just a fresh start elsewhere?

Amari had 2 years to prove he belongs on the team. Sadly, he failed.
I feel sorry for him, but there comes a time where they have to do what's best for the team.
I wish him well, wherever he ends up.

Fan Shout

packerfanoutwest (2h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (2h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (2h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (2h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (3h) : Who? What?

beast (12h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (16h) : meh

Zero2Cool (21h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
