It isn't about the money, it is about teaching him a lesson! Cut him so he doesn't get hurt again! That will show him! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And barring that, keep him and play him You have to wonder if he could even pass a physical at this point. He's probably stuck in GB this year .. let's hope he reaches a healthy streak here pretty soon. Otherwise it's just a huge waste of a contract. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepler Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Anybody who believes we could actually trade him to a willing partner is literally retarded. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't need to practice. Now we learn that his knee is so bad that he can't play either, well maybe a few games, so long as there's plenty of "rest games" in between so his knee can recover. As much as I like Bahk, it's time to negotiate an injury settlement and release him with an injury designation. His knee isn't ever going to get any better. More likely it's going to degenerate over time. This is a rebuilding year. Let's see what Walker can do. By next April's draft we need to know if Walker is capable. Him playing 75% of the games at 75% is still better than most players playing 100% of the games at 100%. And at this point, it's a sunk cost. There's a reason why the Packers didn't add any void years to his contract this past offseason when they needed additional cap space. Let him play out this year, and then see if there's a market for him in the offseason. You trade/cut him in the offseason, you save $21.5M. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he needs to be traded this season, nobody is trading for him in the offseason to get a 20M part time player for 40M for 1 year. This year, his salary is lower and someone might be desperate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is taking just that next year deal at this point. Odds are so small they really aren't worth discussing. Bakh will play here this year. Next year I honestly think coming back here on a re-worked deal or retirement are going to be his only options. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every deal has injury risk. Every good player gets signing-bonus, and every contender uses signing-bonus that pushes out cap hits. It can't be undone. I don't blame Bakhti, nor expect Packers to get out from the cap hit. *IF* we get some games from him, be glad for whatever. If we don't, too bad.

OneTwoSixFive Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 (edited) So does Bakhtiari play on Sunday, or next Thursday ? It seems unlikely he plays both, though both are home games.
