Packerraymond Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 6 minutes ago, ChaRisMa said: I agree it would be best to keep Jones and 69 on board, neither of salaries for 2024 are within the ballpark. Jones has 12.1 cash coming if he’s on this roster. 69 has 20 mil just for being on the roster. 32.1 Mil for Jones and Bakhtiari. We need to get that to 20 between the two. Think 25 is a realistic number, good thing about Bakh is we could load a deal full of play time incentives and they wouldn't be considered LTBE due to him missing this season, that way if he does play a majority of the season that hit wouldn't come until 2025, where we're flush. They both need to be replaced this off-season, but it would be nice to have them as a bridge between now and when those replacements have a year under their belt in 2025. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many games did Tom start last year if not for injury? If Tom had started more, Packers might have been in the playoffs. Packers have had considerable success starting rookies at OT.

Why take a rebuilding approach when we can take a contenders approach because our QB is good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely disagree on Bak. Love the guy but that knee is toast. Jones could go either way but at this point I see no reason to bring Bakhtiari back just hoping THIS time the knee will hold up.

Obviously in this scenario the medical team believes he should be pain free and ready to play by preseason let’s say to be fair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 You know that once we get rid of bahk his knee will be good for a couple years for somebody else. It's just how life works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I…don’t think they honestly did. But there was no downside to trying. We couldn’t cut him because we’d be over the cap. It’s like a 90% chance he’s just gone ASAP, maybe that date was known long ago.

I'd expect them to push him to get it fixed unless they were reasonably confident it would hold up. He's a 40 mil cap hit with 19 dead money next year. They save 21 mil in both cap and cash cutting him and I don't see any way you can have any level of confidence in that knee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
