David Bakhtiari has been the elephant in the room this offseason.
The word on the Packers All-Pro left tackle has been mum. Bakhtiari tore his ACL in practice on December 31, 2020. He had surgery but as he recounted to our Aaron Nagler, “The only way I can describe it, it was like I had a water balloon in my knee. When you bend it, it shoots out everywhere and the problem with that is it basically shuts off. Fluid gets into places. It’s just uncomfortable.”
Bakhtiari, 30, played only 27 snaps last year — which was the first year he didn’t tally at least 96 percent of the offensive snaps in his nine-year pro career.
