He will sign w the Jets, and immediately comes the darkness retreat followed by Vice president intentions..

I know Bahktiari likes beer but I don't know that he's fond of mushrooms!

I'm happy for Bakhtiari. Hope it works out well for him. Now the Jets just need to find 4 more guys that can play o-line decently.

Aaron Rodgers might be immunized against viruses, but that won’t stop him from wanting bacteria in the Jets locker room.

We are halfway through the season and I haven't heard a peep about any team kicking the tires on Bakhtiari. Is his career over? Is his knee just never going to be the same? I have to assume if he was ready and willing to play, some team would sign him.

Was the 11/15/20 deal of $92M that the Packers signed him and he roughly pocketed $69M (yup his jersey #) from before being release, enough to retire on?

The Packers got about 13 games from Bahk from that contract and 13 games that weren't played at the level Bahk played at pre-injury. Not a bad deal for Bahk, roughly $5.3M/game.

I could believe either he can't or he doesn't want to

Bakhtiari hasn't played a game since week 1 of the 2023 season. Even if he wanted to play, there's no way he's in game shape. If a GM gave him a call, maybe he'd be ready in several weeks going through drills on a practice squad but that doesn't offer a team any short term help.

Bahk-who? I have zero animosity for him getting hurt - that’s the deal. But he’s gone - he was done long ago.

 

[Firethorn1001]

OT are in such a demand that if he isn't back by now I have to assume his body isn't cooperating. Chiefs seem like the perfect place for him right now.

 

[OldSchool101]

The fact it’s been a season and a half since he’s played doesn’t bode well. It’s too bad he’s done as he became such a great LT.
I still believe had he played in the NFC Championship we beat Tampa Bay.

Likely a 80% chance he’s played his last game. Another sad way to end a career.

He is still in good beer guzzling shape

I can't remember where I read it but I thought I saw an article saying Jordan Love's fiancee was posting something about re-signing him? Probably tongue-in-cheek but who knows

But I'd concur with most here: I think his playing days are done. In the last ~1400 days (3 years, 10 months) he has played a total of 13 games, and hasn't played in any at all in ~430 days (1 year, 2 months). I'm pretty sure if he was interested in a comeback (and there was a team/teams interested in having him), it would've happened by now.

Yup, she posted; "I've seen enough, welcome back to the Packers", in response to Bahk's post on Instagram of him working out (below).

Sounds like the Packers aren't a team that he wants to play for, he would prefer the Chiefs. I can't say that I blame him, he wants a ring and what other team has a higher probability of giving him one than the Chiefs?

Bahk back in GB? Hard pass for me. Maybe it is all the money he got paid for very little play, yes I know he got injured practicing for the Packers. Maybe its not seeing him at least hanging out with the team during the time he couldn't play, but was still being paid millions. Maybe it's just time to move on and build a solid O-line with your young guys.
