My guess is his release was probably due to Bisaccia coming to the conclusion his holding was a major reason for the Packers placekicking problems last year. If so, he needed to go.

Terrell Buckley will be the new head coach of the Orlando franchise in the XFL.
Kingsley Keke was waived by the Texans this week.
In the 'didn't think I'd ever hear that name again' department, Geronimo Allison has a tryout with the Giants.
He opted out in 2020, then bounced back and forth between the practice squad and the 54 man for Detroit last year, appearing in 3 games. I thought he was out of the league.
Dennis Kelly signs with the Colts.
Chris Odom is the USFL Defensive Player of the Year. He had a stint with the Packers in 2017. He has been all over the place in his short career.
Dexter Williams had 102 total yards in Philadelphia Stars loss in USFL Title Game.
I never liked the idea of having the punter be the holder. It severely limits the creativity of fakes. What I always heard was they do it for practice convenience, but you'd think at least some ST coaches would not prioritize that sort of thing.
So, sitting here at the car wash waiting for my buggy.
On the way over was listening to Lucas Patrick (new Bear) on the local sports radio station.
All Lucas wanted to talk about was the Bears.
All the radio hosts wanted to talk about was the Packers.
Ha!!
Yea, prior to free agency it was usually the backup QB since they didn't change so often. I'm not so convinced punters are so consistently on the roster now days either. I mean if we had taught Love to hold he certainly has had a longer stint than the last 2 punters.
That makes more sense to me. Punter is hanging out with the ST anyway and has more time to work with the long snapper as his practice is limited to punting the ball few enough times to avoid leg fatigue. And the punter also has to handle long snaps already. I guess it makes sense, but if you have a really good punter that can't hold, I would look for alternatives....not that our punter was good in December as Fritz mentions.
