No. I feel he wants them to bow down to all of his wishes, not just that one. Bring back, Cobb, Lazard, Crosby, Lewis, Tonyan and likely a couple more. And then beg. Worked last time.

I think he might want GB to be the ones who make the first move. Making his " decision " easier and looks better in the public eye. That move could be an either or action on the following -- Bahktiari -- Jones -- Lewis -- Crosby -- Love GB needs to get under the cap. Bahktiari and Jones may be pieces of that process.

Next year would be palatable if the Packers wanted to move him for some reason, and the cost I believe would be high assuming he's healthy. He is elite at a premium position at a young age yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right situation, is that Green Bay or somewhere else? I’m not sure” - Aaron Rodgers today on The McAfee Show. "I have complained and cried my way to a new franchise-crippling contract every 2 years but my loyalty is rather sparse so I'd rather act like the team let me down than accept I'm playing like ****" Odd to speak of personal awards vs Super Bowl titles/ team success.

I get he is a upper tier LT when healthy, but the timeline post Rodgers doesn't really match up with Bahktiari on another contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I'm not sure I'd offer a premium pick for Bakhtiari given his recent injury history. I think you'd probably see teams try and pivot towards a '24 pick instead. I could see something like a 3rd this year plus a conditional 3rd round pick that can go as high as a SRP, but is that enough for Green Bay to budge? I'm not sure it is.

Might depend on the team. Cincinnati, KC that are in the title contention window with elite tier QB might offer more for him. I'm thinking a pick value in the 35-50 range is reasonable. New team would take on cap hits... 2023 Around $23M 2024 around $27M Both years have some movable money to lessen the cap hits and tack on a year or 2.

I think he plays out this contract here unless we're blown away from an offer and we have a replacement. Tom or Nijman as it sits right now at LT. I think beyond that the team is not likely to offer him another contract. I don't believe the team is necessarily out of post season potential if ol Rodg is moved. I think we may be out of that potential because of our cap situation, and much of that because of ol Rodg. I don't want to see our future pushed out without an end in sight, the locomotive is coming fast down the tracks and we're tied to it. It's time to start managing to that end. Get younger, add more young talent, stay strong on both lines. We can still win with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a handful of players that can be restructured/ traded/ cut to get meaningful cap space Alexander, Clark, Jones, Smith, Bahktiari, Campbell, Douglas Tough decisions may be needed in terms of 2023 and 2024+ for cap purposes.

I wouldn’t put it past him to request a trade the minute Love is gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
