david bakhtiari is back you need to see this urgently at green bay packers

when you take a closer look at the Green Bay Packers offensive lineup it quickly becomes evident where their most significant challenge lies while Rashid Walker and Zack Tom are solid and promising young tackles the team's depth at this crucial position is quite alarming this issue became particularly apparent following Andre Dillard's disappointing showing against the Cleveland Browns last Saturday the situation is further Complicated by the fact that developmental players like kadim telfort and Caleb Jones don't seem to be reliable Alternatives as a result the Packers might need to consider bringing back a familiar face to fill the Gap unfortunately the market for offensive tackles is notably thin which is typical for this time of year the most skilled player still available is without a doubt former Packers Al Pro David bokari bakari's knee problems led to his release in March due to salary cap concerns however there was some good news in May when it was reported that bakari received a positive Medical Update NFL Network Insider Ian Rapaport shared that the former allpro had follow-up exams after undergoing new surgeries and was deemed to be on track for a return in 2024 it's worth noting that with less than a month until the regular season begins bokari hasn't participated in any workouts for NFL teams his plan however is to ensure he's fully healthy before making any final decisions even if he's not ready by week one the Packers could still consider bringing him on board later in the season after all Rashid Walker is expected to be the starting tackle regardless given that bakari has only appeared in 13 games over the past three seasons it's difficult to see him as a starter additionally Walker performed at a high level during the latter part of last season proving himself to be both young and coste effective however bokari would serve as an excellent backup option currently Andre Dillard and kadim telfort are the immediate backups but if the Packers find themselves needing one of them in a regular season game head coach Matt lefur would likely have to adjust the offensive scheme to protect them in contrast bokari would be a significant upgrade over these players despite the catastrophic injury he suffered late in 2020 he has demonstrated that he can still perform at a high level when healthy there may be some concern about whether bakari would be open to playing at right tackle if necessary but Walker could potentially shift to the right side temporarily if needed financially several factors would need to be considered first there's the question of whether bakari would be willing to return to Green Bay as a backup especially if he doesn't have starting opportunities elsewhere second there's the matter of money the Packers released bokari in March because he was set to earn nearly $20 million this year a steep price for a player with a history of injuries would baktiar be willing to come back to the NFL for a salary close to the veteran minimum it's likely that any contract offer would include minimal guarantees injury waivers and incentives based on playing time if bakari finds a starting job or at least a chance to compete elsewhere he could command a higher salary however if no other team is willing to give him that opportunity the familiarity of Green Bay combined with a chance to protect a quarterback he already knows and play in a system he's well acquainted with might be tempting several factors would need to align for a reunion between the Packers and bokari to take place in 2024 while it still might seem unlikely it's certainly more feasible now than it appeared 5 months ago
