Abbrederis had been placed on the team’s injured-reserve list Wednesday due to a thigh injury.
The settlement makes Abbrederis subject to the league’s waiver system. If he clears waivers he’ll be a free agent and eligible to sign with any team when he’s healthy. He wouldn’t be able to re-sign with the Packers for six weeks.
A fifth-round pick in 2014, he missed his rookie season and played in 14 games over the last two seasons, catching 10 passes for 119 yards. He had just one reception this season.
