The Green Bay Packers released a rookie safety to make room for a rookie linebacker on Wednesday. The team announced the signing of linebacker Jared Bartlett, and the release of safety Kahzir Brown was the corresponding roster move.
Bartlett (6-2, 238) went undrafted out of Cincinnati this year but was signed by the New York Jets in May. He is the brother of former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Stephon Tuitt.
During his final collegiate season in 2024, Bartlett led Cincinnati in tackles (69), tackles for loss (11.5) and sacks (7.5) and finished second in the Big 12 in sacks and fourth in tackles for loss.
