Former Packers receiver Amari Rodgers sells Green Bay house
GREEN BAY – Former Green Bay Packers receiver and punt returner Amari Rodgers has sold his house in west Green Bay for $438,000.
The three-bedroom, two-bath house at 2054 Buckthorn Trail on Green Bay's west side was initially listed for $480,000 in December 2022. The 1,753-square foot house was built in 2021. It includes a gas fireplace, gourmet kitchen, patio, home security system and three-car garage on a .28-acre lot.
Rodgers bought the house for $360,000 on July 2021, according to Brown County land records.
The deal closed on May 12. Jen Kuo with Platinum Real Estate was the listing agent.
Rodgers was drafted by the Packers in the third round of the 2021 draft. He was used mostly as a punt and kickoff returner. In 1 1/2 seasons, he returned 40 punts for 305 yards and 17 kicks for 321 yards. He also caught eight passes for 95 yards and no touchdowns. The Packers parted ways with him because he fumbled seven times in two years, including five times in 10 games in 2022. Rodgers landed with the Houston Texans after his time ended with the Packers.
The Texans used Rodgers as a possession receiver, much like the Packers used Randall Cobb. In six games during the 2022 season, Rodgers caught 12 of 17 passes for 154 yards, a touchdown and nine first downs.
