On Wednesday, the Green Bay Packers announced the release of outside linebacker La’Darius Hamilton after claiming linebacker Arron Mosby off of waivers via the Carolina Panthers. Hamilton had been on the Packers’ roster for the past two seasons after being plucked off of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ practice squad. In total, he played nine regular season games for Green Bay.
The reason why Hamilton was let go was to make room for Mosby, who was awarded to the Packers via waiver claims today. Mosby was originally a wide receiver and cornerback at the high school level but transitioned to the defensive end position at Fresno State.
