A little under an hour after the NFL’s legal tampering window opened up for the 2024 free agency class, Green Bay Packers tackle David Bakhtiari took to social media to say goodbye to the organization and the city. In an unsurprising move, it appears that the Packers will be letting the offensive lineman, who currently carries a cap hit of $40 million for the upcoming season, hit the open market.
On Sunday, ESPN’s Rob Demovsky reported that Bakhtiari was likely to be released, so there was a level of foreshadowing here. Based on Over the Cap’s numbers, the release of Bakhtiari should save the team around $21 million in immediate cap space.
