The personnel moves have begun and to no one's surprise (at least I don't think anyone should have been surprised) one of the goats from the NFC Conference Championship game tight end Brandon Bostick was cut.

Bostick came in with a lot of promise, but never developed - in part because of various injuries (a broken foot that ended his 2013 season. He started them 2014 season with a leg injury and later missed two games with a hip injury) into a first or second team player.
However, another aspect of his inability to move up the depth chart was demonstrated early in the season when rookie Richard Rodgers was benched before the third game of the season - a loss to the Lions - and Bostick didn't fill the void.
What was reported was while Rodgers had a bad day at the blocking office Bostick also had a bad day on special teams (foreshadowing) with two penalties, so he didn't take a snap against the Lions. The explanation was his practice habits didn't warrant playing time.
