GREEN BAY - Over the past 80 years, the Green Bay Packers have never had a punter lead the NFL in average, but thanks to a trade with the Los Angeles Rams, general manager Brian Gutekunst has a punter who has done exactly that.
On the day teams were required to cut their rosters to 53, Gutekunst gave up on 2018 fifth-round pick JK Scott and replaced him with Corey Bojorquez, the 2020 NFL leader in punting with a 50.8-yard gross average.
Gutekunst sent a sixth-round pick in 2023 to the Rams, who sent Bojorquez and a '23 seventh-round pick back to the Packers in the only deal the Packers GM made on cutdown day.
