GREEN BAY - Packers tight end Brandon Bostick was released by the team on Tuesday, according to multiple sources.
Bostick, 25, spent the last two seasons with the team, though will most likely be remembered for catching then losing an onside kick reception in the NFC Championship Game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Leading 19-14 with over two minutes left in that game, and following a Seahawks touchdown, Bostick was in position to receive the kick, but let the ball slip through his grasp, allowing for a Seattle recovery and their go-ahead touchdown.
Green Bay, who had led 16-0 through almost three quarters, would come back to tie the game in regulation before Russell Wilson aired out the game-winning 35 yard touchdown to Jermain Kearse to complete a 28-3 comeback rally and a trip to the Super Bowl.
Signed as an undrafted free agent from Newberry College in 2012, Bostick appeared in 24 games with the Packers, catching nine passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns.
