Damarious Randall sounds off on trade, confirms why Gutekunst shipped him out

When Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst decided to trade talented defensive back Damarious Randall for a young, developing quarterback in Deshone Kizer, it was generally looked at as a move where both teams were moving on from players who would probably benefit from a change of scenery.

Kizer had, obviously, suffered through a brutal season as the starter in Cleveland and had dealt with questions about his lack of maturity and commitment. (Do I think these characterizations were fair? No, but they were certainly part of the narrative surrounding Kizer.)

Randall, meanwhile, had a very visible sideline dust up during a nationally televised game, one of several immature moments during his short Packers tenure.
