Old Guy Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 1 minute ago, Green19 said: …. Unless Walker impresses the rest of the way. Like if Walker gets after it, Tom and Walker are your OTs of the future and right now. Bak has a 40-million-dollar cap number next year. He's not going to extend with the Packers. He's been angling to play with Rodgers since the day he was traded. His original plan probably was at the trade deadline. Then the knee flared up and it was an easy decision to shut it down and be ready for the Jets. Go back and watch the game ball celebration last week. Bak is in the background, no emotion.

He's making sure he's ready when he signs with the Jets after the Packers release him in the offseason. I'm back on the **** him train. Bahktiari signing with NYJ would be a touch hypocritical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TransientTexan Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 24 minutes ago, {Family Ghost} said: Packers will have to decide whether they want to move on in '24, or keep him around again at a 21 million dollar cap hit. That's a bargain of he's a full go and 100 percent, but not to sure his knee can be trusted. Walker has a big chance to lock down this LT spot on '23. If he can do that then the Packers can move on and allot the Bak savings to other positions I already figured he would be a 2024 cap casualty even before this season started. & him missing so many 2023 games removes all doubt. I don’t see any other teams being comfortable trading for him next year unless he somehow manages to return this season & finish strong. & even then, they might lowball us, figuring that they can just sign him once we cut him for the cap $$.

If the knee does hold up, he's going to be a bargain for somebody. The issue is obviously whether the knee will hold up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Unless he's wiling to take a MASSIVE pay cut, he's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibrett15 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I don't see how they don't shift Tom to LT. He's the best option by far Hopefully he and Jenkins are back on the left side after the bye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swapping sides on the line is not something one undergoes casually- Yosh AND Jenkins proved that last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragnar Danneskjold Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I have a feeling he is done playing. Needing “a bigger operation in a few weeks” makes me skeptical that the result will be good enough for anyone to offer him a significant contract.
