"Packers Release David Bakhtiari After 11 Seasons, Saving Over $20M in Cap Space"
After 11 seasons with the Green Bay Packers, left tackle David Bakhtiari has been released due to ongoing knee issues, culminating in five surgeries on his left knee since 2020. Despite hoping to continue his career, Bakhtiari's release was inevitable, and he expressed gratitude to Green Bay in a social media post. The 32-year-old's departure will result in over $19 million in dead money on the Packers' 2024 cap, and the team may look to the draft for a left tackle replacement, with Rasheed Walker as a potential contender.
