Apparently, the fumble on Sunday was the last straw.
The Green Bay Packers have announced on Tuesday that they are releasing wide receiver and return man Amari Rodgers. The embattled second-year pro out of Clemson has been the subject of much ire from Packers fans this season, and with valid reason — Rodgers has fumbled the football five times this season alone, one on a pass reception and four on returns.
One of those fumbles came on a punt return in Sunday’s win over the Dallas Cowboys, when he coughed up the football near midfield to erase good field position for the Packers.
