"I gave it my all. I always gave it my best no
matter the circumstance and to me, that truly was enough," he
posted on X. .".. For whatever happens next, I look forward to
it. To the city and fans all across the world, I just want to
say thank you."
There was no official word from the Packers on Bakhtiari's
release as of 1 p.m. ET Monday. The oft-injured 32-year-old
veteran was due to earn a $20.2 million base salary with a $40
million cap hit in 2024, per Spotrac. His dead-cap hit is $19.1
million.
A two-time first-team All-Pro (2018, 2020) and three-time Pro
Bowl selection while protecting former quarterback Aaron
Rodgers' blind side for a decade, Bakhtiari played only one game
last season due to a recurring knee injury.
Bakhtiari played only 13 of Green Bay's 51 regular-season games
from 2021-23. He started all 131 of his games with the team
since being drafted in the fourth round in 2013.
