Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari enters the final year of his contract, trying to position himself for a third contract with the team that drafted him in the fourth round. Bakhtiari was one game into the final year of his rookie contract in 2016 when he signed a four-year, $48 million extension. On Tuesday, Bakhtiari [more]

Definitely a player I am hoping the Packers re-sign. I'm not sure we have the OL depth to recover from losing him.

But if we lost him in FA, in theory we might be able to sign other FAs OT, but we'd still be in the hole and probably need to draft a couple high.


Also for right now, Gute saying Wagner would have to complete for the starting RT raised some eyebrows, on whom he would have to compete with, as none of the other potential RTs seemed to be on his level.

So Gute is thinking of one of the following
1) Bring back Veldeer later (probably not, as why not already have him signed).

2) Some of the UDFA OTs like Light, Nijman, Leglue and Conway might be able to battle for the spot (which seems unlikely unless they saw a lot of potential in Nijman).

3) They plan on having RG Billy Turner competing at RT with Wagner, which might make the most sense, as they have Taylor, Patrick and Runyan as potential OGs if Turner should win.


But none of these options would make up for potential losing Bak.

They would be stupid to let him walk. You want to get Aaron Rodgers killed? Get rid of your best O-lineman.

I don't think he is sweating anything because he knows he is going to get paid. It will either be here or elsewhere.

I am wondering whether he might be a person we franchise. With his age and injuries starting to mount I would be curious whether we would make a multi-year investment when a 1 year franchise might be more prudent.

He has been our best OL, but it appears he is benefiting from being a star vet as recently I've been noticing him moving before the ball is snapped without being flagged.

Thank you! I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one who's noticed this. I had begun to wonder if I was going crazy. This will definitely be something worth watching more closely in the coming months.

The Packers know the value of keeping Bakhtiari in Green Bay. The question is how much will he cost and how long will a new contract be for?

Slightly off topic: I would love to see Green Bay steal a page from Clemson's playbook and install this gem:
