The Green Bay Packers and David Bakhtiari have had a tumultuous time together for the last three seasons. An ACL tear in December 2020 completely derailed Bakhtiari’s career. He has played one game in two of the last three seasons.
However, since 2013 Bakhtiari has been one of the pillars of the Packers’ offense. He proved once again in Week One of the 2023 season that he can still perform at an extremely high level. Now he is ready to let fans know what he thinks about his playing future.

The Green Bay Packers have been David Bakhtiari’s only team since he was selected with the 109th pick in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL draft out of Colorado.
In Green Bay, Bakhtiari has built an impressive Hall-of-Fame resume, but work must be done to keep him in Green Bay. By doing nothing, they would incur a cap hit of $40.02 million for Bakhtiari’s final year. As the team needs to create cap space, that’s far too high.
By releasing or trading Bakhtiari, almost $21 million can be saved. However, if both sides want to run it back one more year, a restructure will be required.
From the sounds of it, Bakhtiari isn’t close to hanging up his cleats.
