Old Guy Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 2 minutes ago, Brat&Beer said: Bakhtiari gas a $40M cap hit in 2024. 4 possibilities: They bring him back with 40M cap hit. Really unlikely. They trade him or cut him and save 20M of cap space. Most likely. They get him to take big pay cut on base salary. Fairly unlikely. They restructure his contract to lower salary cap hit in 2024 and push more money into future years. Likeliness depends on how they feel about the knee. I could be wrong about this, but I do believe Bak refused to do this in the off season for the Packers. I think he was hoping to be released so he could go to NY.

I see as a middling starter best case scenario. I want better than that long-term for Love. I am pulling for Sean Rhyan, who I fear we only see as a guard. Wasn't that kind of the thought/plan from the beginning though? In regards to Rhyan Edited August 11, 2023 by smetana34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue we're deeper at OT than what we are at OG 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Packers then did the things they could do that didn't require his permission. Things seemed a bit icy at that point in time, but it seems things have thawed a bit since then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked like the light was coming on for Davis as a TE finally. Life can be cruel sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refugee Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 The belief in Davis and his blocking was enough to not re-sign Lewis. Now it’s getting thin there with 2 rooks and Deguara as the only roster locks. Brutal for Davis who was in line to get his shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 A shame for ol' Toddler. Hope he has a quick recovery. I expect another body to be brought in who has some sort of blocking acumen. Not sure who is out there that might make the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are certain limitations in possible extensions when you add void years to a contract. If you ask a player to add void years it is quite normal for the player to ask something in return, like 1-2M in new money. The Packers were probably not willing to do that, so it's quite normal for a top tier LT to not agree to do it for free. Bakhtiari seems to be a guy who understands quite well the business side of the game, so I wouldn't be surprised that there's nothing else to it.

Mazrimiv Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Some encouraging comments from Dougherty/Baranczyk Quote The early read on the Packers’ second-round picks, Luke Musgrave and Jayden Reed, is that both are ready to play a lot as rookies. Musgrave, the No. 42 pick overall, showed Friday night that besides being big and fast, he has the makings of a decent blocker at tight end, which was not part of his draft resume coming out of Oregon State. Reed, the No. 50 pick, did enough in his 13 snaps to suggest he might be a little more dynamic than another former Packers second-rounder he has more than a passing resemblance to, Randall Cobb.

Let's hope he lives up to it because that would be amazing. The skilled positions have the makings of the old SI Cover with Rodgers and his receivers. A bit premature, but the ability is there if they can put it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobb was a more savvy player than I think Reed will be but Reed has the potential to be more dynamic and has a bit more dawg in him. Since the draft I've said the guy reminds me of Steve Smith, not just in terms of stature, but more so attitude. We need that kind of guy to couple with our more even-keeled, reserved types like Watson and Doubs.

He's nearly hall of fame level. I'm not sure anyone has his level of dog in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
