NY Jets could pursue Aaron Rodgers’ close friend: But should they?

We recently discussed the possibility of the New York Jets reuniting Aaron Rodgers with his former starting guard, Jon Runyan.

Now it’s time to evaluate another Packers offensive lineman that could follow Rodgers to Florham Park: five-time All-Pro David Bakhtiari.

Unlike Runyan, Bakhtiari is not slated to become a free agent this year. He’s entering the final year of his four-year, $92 million contract with Green Bay.

However, considering Bakhtiari’s gigantic cap number in 2024 ($40 million) and his chronic injury woes over the past few seasons, it seems likely that Green Bay will release the veteran left tackle.
