One potential reason for the Packers‘ cautious approach to free agency this spring is with one eye on next year. A number of key starters have contracts expiring in 2021.
David Bakhtiari, Kenny Clark, Corey Linsley, Aaron Jones, Kevin King, and Jamaal Williams will be free agents.
Re-signing them all will be close to impossible, but extending Bakhtiari’s deal should be the priority.
Since being selected in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL Draft, Bakhtiari has been nothing short of phenomenal at left tackle for the Packers. He plays at a premium position and is one of the best pass-protectors in the league.
