Nijman will make north of $4 million next season

ESPN’s Field Yates reported  on Monday that Green Bay Packers  tackle Yosh Nijman has officially signed his restricted free agent tender. Nijman, who has played both left and right tackle in Green Bay but finished the 2022 season as the preferred starter on the right side, will now make a guaranteed $4.3 million in 2023.


Nijman’s tender is a one-year deal, which will allow him to hit unrestricted free agency next offseason if he and the team cannot come to a long-term extension by then. The Packers placed a second-round tender on Nijman, which meant that a team would have had to have given up that level of a draft pick to sign Nijman in restricted free agency. The deadline for restricted free agents to sign offer sheets with another team is April 21st, meaning that Nijman signed his deal a few days before teams were no longer allowed to offer him a contract.


After last season’s drama surrounding receiver Allen Lazard’s restricted free agent tender, it’s nice that the Packers could get this one out of the way quickly. Lazard did not officially sign his contract, even though the deadline to send Lazard an offer sheet had expired, up until mid-June . Because of the way the collective bargaining agreement is structured, teams aren’t allowed to fine players who miss out on mini-camp if they haven’t signed their deals yet. In Lazard’s case, he missed both mini-camp and an entire offseason’s worth of voluntary workouts in 2022 because he left his deal unsigned until June.


This offseason, Lazard left Green Bay in free agency and signed with the New York Jets . Hopefully, the Packers are on better terms with Nijman, who might be their right tackle of the future. With left tackle David Bakhtiari commanding a $40-plus million cap hit in 2024, there’s already a good chance that they’re going to make their blindside tackle a cap casualty next season. Green Bay might want to keep Nijman around long-term, just to ease their transition of left tackles in the near future.

It's good to have a solid base. Yosh won't be in the Hall but he's not a turnstile.

Well, the draft could still play a large part, but I wonder what the Packers updated depth chart would look like right now.

Example, is Nijman penciled in to be the RT starter? 

I think Tom could push for a starting spot if he has a off-season jump. But they also could draft an OL high.

I was thinking Yosh had a better season than this but here  are a few stats on him.

Yosh Nijman allowed a 7.7% pressure rate when lined up at right tackle, ranked 34th out of 36 players with at least 200 pass protection snaps at right tackle
Receivers had a 10.3% drop rate on targets 10 or more yards downfield (ranked 29th)
Allowed 10 or more rushing yards on 13.6% of carries (ranked 28th)
Generated pressure in 2.5 seconds or less on 18.4% of opponent dropbacks (ranked 29th)
Ranked 32nd in completion rate allowed at 15 or more yards downfield (57.6%)

34 out of 36 is a turnstile….and many of those are with help.

And if all our linemen had a >7% pressure rate, you would likely have pressure 20-50% of the time, which is a prescription for disaster.

I only occasionally see movement from him on runs.

At this point, he is a backup at best.
Go Packers!!!!

It would be interesting to know how he performed at RT vs LT, I'm not sure if anyone has stats on that? I think he's more of an LT and has looked okay there at times. $4m a year is a reasonable price to pay for a good backup/below-average starter at LT.

I would not be surprised to see Tom take the RT job out of the gate and not give it back. Going by PFF, Tom had a better year (68 vs 63), albeit on about 2/3rds the snaps. He seems like a better RT already and if he takes a second-year jump I could see him developing as a very good player there.

I also would not be surprised if Nijman serves mostly a backup role in 2023 and is brought back in 2024 to compete for the starting LT role - assuming Bahktari is released or traded.

There are subscription serives that have the breakdown. RT vs LT. Last year I heard Ryan Schlip on Packernet Podcast talk about it. I don't remember what he said. The problem is, the sample size is too small. If he played LT against a weak DL and RT against a stud Edge rusher it would appear that LT is his better position.

First off, do they draft an OT high in the draft? If no, I could see Tom growing a bit and taking over at OT, I've said before the 2022 draft, Tom reminds me so much of Bakhtiari. The elite pass blocking potential is there even if they'll always be average in the run game. (and Bakhtiari did better than average a few years).

Bakhtiari has stated Nijman has the best natural feet of their OL, but he just struggles somewhere else where they don't prefer to keep him on the field.
