Restructures contract The Packers restructured Bakhtiari's contract Friday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Impact Green Bay converted $9.5 million of Bakhtiari's 2023 salary into a guaranteed signing bonus in an attempt to mitigate his $28.8 million cap hit. The veteran left tackle signed a four-year, $103.5 million deal in November 2020 but suffered a torn ACL shortly thereafter and took awhile to get healthy. However, it appeared he'd finally put the issue behind him halfway through the 2022 season before he was sidelined again due to an appendectomy. When Bakhtiari is 100 percent, he's certainly capable of being one of the best left tackles in the NFL.
