Over the past three seasons, the Green Bay Packers and David Bakhtiari have experienced a tumultuous journey. Bakhtiari’s career took a significant hit with an ACL tear in December 2020, leading to him only playing one game in two of the last three seasons.
Nevertheless, since 2013, Bakhtiari has been a cornerstone of the Packers’ offense. His exceptional performance in Week One of the 2023 season reaffirmed his ability to excel on the field. Now, he is prepared to share his thoughts on his future in the game with the fans.
“For those unaware, there’s learning ahead. For those acquainted, there’s appreciation. To those who appreciate, I pledge not to disappoint.” #OvercomingChallenges #DinnerPlans
David Bakhtiari has been exclusively associated with the Green Bay Packers since being drafted as the 109th pick in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL draft from Colorado.
During his tenure in Green Bay, Bakhtiari has amassed an impressive Hall-of-Fame caliber career. However, efforts must be made to ensure his continued presence in Green Bay. If no action is taken, the team would face a hefty cap hit of $40.02 million for Bakhtiari’s final year. Given the team’s need to free up cap space, this figure is unmanageable.
Releasing or trading Bakhtiari could result in saving nearly $21 million. However, if both parties are interested in continuing for another year, a restructuring of the contract will be necessary.
Based on indications, Bakhtiari seems far from considering retirement.
