Left tackle is a premium position and he's playing the position very well. This deal makes sense.

He's got to keep improving to be worth it but so far he's gotten better every year. Played with multiple torn ligaments in his ankle last year I believe and still held up well so he's tough as hell. He played a great game Sunday but wasn't against much as far as competition. I am not of the opinion that LT is that much more important than RT and LT salaries are ridiculously inflated comparatively so I am not the biggest fan of paying this much for one but if the guarantees are fairly low then w/e.

I'm curious how much is guaranteed and how much is tied to bonuses. I was hoping we'd sign bahk for 9-10 milion a year so this is a little higher than expected but not terribly so.

Not surprised a bit by this.

I still think they need better than Bahktiari at the position, but its been clear for some time (and not just by the recent Sitton foofaraw) that Thompson/McCarthy don't agree. I expected him to be the first to get taken care of, and he was.

Oh, well.

Will wait until the contract breakdown is available. He is the best option we have now, but I still am not sold on him long term and hope the contract is setup to be easy to get out from under without major cap impact should we find a better option.

Double ditto on everything Steve said.

It's too high, but:
For most positions, players entering their 4th year are pretty much done ascending. But many OLmen keep getting better until their bodies start to fail. And as Steve said, Bahktieri is ascending.

17M guaranteed this year and 10 next; GB has some injury protections early in the contract and performance protections toward at the end of the contract.

The cap is projected to increase more than 12M per; this deal might look much better in 2 -3 years even if Bahktieri doesn't improve much.

He's making about 1.8M this year; so we're paying under $54M for 5 years. That is about right.

If we look at some of the other top 5 paid LTs: Trent Williams; Eric fisher, this looks pretty good.

(4 years, $51.67M; $17M guaranteed)

25 years old with years to reach his ceiling, protecting Aaron Rodgers is top priority and money saved from releasing sitton has been well spent

Spotrac has him at 17m guaranteed which is 13th highest.

I was hoping they could keep him for less but the guaranteed money sounds relatively low to the overall size of the deal.

Which left tackles are currently in the final year of their deals?

beast (11h) : Martha? 😋
Zero2Cool (15h) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.
dfosterf (17h) : I'm going with a combination of the two.
beast (19h) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC
Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no
Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.
beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?
beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you
wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.
wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.
wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.
Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious
beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered
wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.
wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.
wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
