In a somewhat shocking move on Tuesday, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst released safety Jermaine Whitehead, presenting a golden opportunity to 2017 second-round pick Josh Jones.
This move comes a week after Gutekunst traded running back Ty Montgomery following his disastrous fourth-quarter fumble, as well as dealing safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix. It’s not identical, but bears some similarities to the situation with the Montgomery trade.
Whitehead was ejected in the second quarter on Sunday night after slapping a Patriot in the helmet after the play was over.
