GREEN BAY, Wis. – There was Mike Daniels in 2015, David Bakhtiari in 2016 and three players – Lane Taylor, Davante Adams and Corey Linsley – in 2017. The Green Bay Packers worked out contract extensions with each one of them at some point in the months from September to December during those seasons.
The 2018 season was different.
General manager Brian Gutekunst did not sign a single veteran player to a contract extension after the Aaron Rodgers’ blockbuster deal was signed on Aug.
