13th for all tackle sir just left? I imagine if both then most are left tackles anyway.

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?

The amount we paid is more than I'd personally like to be spending on a LT but it's not an overpay based on what he was going to get as a FA unless he just craps the bed this season.

According to Packernews its 17M G this year and a 10M roster bonus due in March 2017. If GB doesn't cut Bak before March 2017, the 10M will count. So its effectively 27M G.

If that ends up being the case, that's not as bad as my initial reaction to the numbers. Hell, if he stays healthy (knock on wood) and takes another step as he may well do given his age, it might end being a bargain.

And this is the reason Sitton isn't a Packer anymore...Sitton or his agent got wind of this and started a shit-storm that led to Teddy sending him packin...Just my guess here...

It didn't take long after Sitton was gone to get the deal done. The only OL FA to me I didn't want to resign was Bakhtiari. The one I wanted most was Sitton. Teddy T and I talk all the time.

I am so smart.

It's a Ted Thompson contract.

It looks like a blockbuster now. In two years, it'll look like a bargain basement deal.

I'm still not satisfied with any of the official reasons why Josh Sitton was released. In addition, the jury is still out on Lane Taylor. He deserves a fair evaluation.

Mr. 69 has worked for the position of LT and the benefits it provides. DB is , by all accounts, a workout beast. It's said that a great LT is a Dancing Bear that protects the QB's blindside. I'm not sure how much pure natural talent / hard work it takes to make a great LT, but I'm sure he has earned every dollar .

If Sitton was released to free up money for Bakhtiari , then Ted should have found the money for both somewhere. I don't believe we will ever hear the real story .

The real story, it's unfolding right in front of our eyes.

No team can keep ALL their free agents, the salary cap won't allow it.

Lane Taylor was given an extension last year.

Looking back that should have been the 1st clue.

Looks like Bahks gurantees will be 27mil.

That can now be spread out over 5 years(includes this year) because it was an extension.

As others have said, this will look like a bargain by 2018.

Really good LT's don't grow on trees.
Bshktiari is Really Good and will only get better.
