I hope they dont extend Lacy. The last thing you give an athlete that has trouble not being fat is job security.

About a day after FA starts, he's not even gonna be in the top ten highest paid LTs. Hell, probably sooner. I can't believe anyone is overly hung up on this.

Another comment without thinking. Unless of course you think 7 other teams this offseason are handing our 12+ million a year extensions to their guys. But by all means continue on on thinking this wasn't an overpay or that it's a good deal.

You have to look at other teams' spending habits in FA. The reason why the same teams are consistently bad, or perform at a level so much lower than they should, is because they MASSIVELY overpay for other teams' FAs. The Dolphins and Redskins, to name a few, always do it. To assume there isn't a single team out there that would offer more money than the Packers did to a 24 year old starting LT that protects the blindside of the best QB in the league is foolish.

Rodgers is closer to the end of his career than to the beginning of his career. If you have a LT that has proven he can get the job done, knows the system and wants to be part of a really good team, then you sign him to an extension, like we did. We don't have the time with Rodgers to have all the "what if's" fall into place.

He's slow to the edge, and when he gets there he can't cut up the field. Also, color me unimpressed with this supposed work he did on his body and conditioning. He lost, what, 10 lbs? In eight months? For someone in a contract year, I would have thought he'd have made trimming up more of a priority.

Agreed. I weigh 190 and I could lose 10lbs in a week if I had to. He still doesn't look like someone who dedicated their off season to fitness.

I wouldn't cut Lacy for him, but CJ Spiller was released today. I'd see what he has left. He certainly has more speed than the current backs and he can catch. He could at least take away carries from out $10mil/yr slot reciever.

I think he looked good running between the tackles. It's this stupid coaching staff's fault that we keep running him to the edge. Even if he was like 215 and in shape, that still wouldn't be his strength, yet we keep doing it.

Details of David Bakhatiari's four-year contract extension are in. It includes $48 million in new money in addition to the $1,676,850 he was scheduled to make this season. Highlights include a $15 million signing bonus plus a $1 million roster bonus paid on Sept. 12. That's the only guaranteed money. Also includes roster bonuses of $1.196 million in 2017 (paid on fifth day of league year), $6 million in 2018 (fifth day of LY), $1.5 million in 2019 (fifth day of LY). He will count $4,019,700 against this year's salary cap, meaning the Packers still have more than $12 million in available space.

I still think the timing of the contract is off as I still think they could've signed him to this mid season or later and protected themselves a little more but this structure leaves plenty of cap room on the table the next few years which is the main concern.

Unless he's an All Pro by 2019 though the thought of him counting 14 million against is concerning though without a restructure
