Matt LaFleur insinuates the Packers cut player for not working hard enough

If you're a fan of the Green Bay Packers, the team-cutting wide receiver/punt returner Amari Rodgers was probably a sigh of relief. The former third-round pick had one less career fumble (seven) than receptions (eight) after all. 

If cutting Rodgers was a relief, the team releasing running back Kylin Hill, who had flashed some real potential ever since being drafted in the seventh round in 2021, was a shock.

In fact, it was a head-scratcher, especially with starting running back Aaron Jones not known for being the most durable of players at 5-foot-9, 208 pounds and Hill having some of Jones' skillset -- specifically his speed and ability to make defenders miss in the open field. 

While it may not have made a ton of sense football-wise, head coach Matt LaFleur spoke to the media on Tuesday and revealed that Green Bay letting Hill go was more of an off-field move than anything.

"Being a member of the Green Bay Packers is a privilege, and there are standards and expectations that are placed on every team that we expect them to live up to," LaFleur said, per reporter Ryan Wood.
