He has just announced that he is no longer with the Green Bay Packers.

Bostick has been playing as the Packers' tight end for three years. During his time, he caught nine passes for a total of 123 yards. He also has two touchdowns on his resume'.
Despite his good stats with the team, one is only really remembered for your latest successes. Or in Bostick's case, your latest failure.
Bostick's most recent slip up was during the NFC Championship game against the Seahawks.
Errors are really part of the game, but what made it worse was that the Packers were leading the whole way. If it weren't for Bostick's error, the Packers might have gone on to the Super Bowl.
The game against the Seahawks was going the Packers' way until halftime, where they led 16-0 against the defending Super Bowl champions.
However, the Seahawks came back after the half and shifted into overdrive. They orchestrated a rally, pulling close to the Packers' lead (19-14).
With less than four minutes remaining in the final quarter, the Seahawks went for an onside kick, which is usually done to regain control of the ball.
The Packers were ready though. The plan was to have Bostick block for star receiver Jordy Nelson, who was supposed to catch the ball.
Instead, Bostick tried to catch it himself. It ricocheted off his arms, his chest, and into the hands of the Seahawks' Chris Matthews.
The Seahawks scored on that drive and eventually won in overtime.
Bostick said that he let his team down, and if he just followed the plan then maybe they could have won that game.
On a statement released via Twitter, Bostick said that he was thankful to spend the first three years of his career with the Packers.
"Unfortunately My Time There Has Ended. I Appreciate The Support From Everyone in GB!"
