Packers Rumors: David Bakhtiari Agrees to 4-Year Contract Extension

The Green Bay Packers and offensive tackle agreed to a four-year contract extension Saturday night, according to ProFootballTalk.

Bakhtiari, 29, was in the final season of a four-year, $48 million contract and was slated to earn a $10.5 million base salary. Financial terms of the new deal were not immediately disclosed.

Considered one of the best pass-blockers in football, Bakhtiari is coming off his second Pro Bowl selection in 2019. Pro Football Focus gave him an overall grade of 78.6, once again highlighting his pass protection skills.

Bakhtiari gave up only two sacks in 2019 and had the highest pass-block win rate of any offensive tackle, per ESPN.
