    Baltimore will have its stud left tackle for years to come


    Up to 22.6 million per year
    I'm not sure that really changes anything. Reports are Bakhtiari was already looking to be highest paid LT, which was Tunsil at 22M.

      Interesting:

      Coming into 2020, CBS Sports ranked Stanley as the No. 2 offensive linemen in the entire NFL, sitting behind only Packers tackle David Bakhtiari.

        Packers might not be willing to match the Tunsil and Stanley contracts because Bakhtiari is almost 3 years older than those guys.

          They'll work it out. I put it at essentially a zero percent chance he walks. Worst case, they will franchise and trade him for a high pick. Or as I like to call it, the Javon Walker you-can-dance-if-you-want-to special.

            That idea works for me, CMI.
            What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

              Ronnie Staley, all pro, 26 years old just signed a 5 year 100 extension. Bakh ain't getting that 22 he was shooting for. Will be lucky to get the 18 the Packers offered.

                Just saw there were escalators in Staleys deal. Still, at Bakhs age he shouldnt touch Staleys deal.

                  He literally just turned 29 a few weeks ago. Stanley turns 27 in a few months. You get way too caught up in age. Teddy T signed a 32 or 33 year old Chad Clifton to a 3 year deal.

                  This will get done. Stop worrying.

                    I look at Bakhtiari as being in his prime years. I would have no concerns about another 4 year contract, if that's what works out. I see him as a much different case than Bulaga, due to injury history.

                      Agree. He's been very lucky/healthy in general, and OL can usually play into their early 30's effectively. They still need to find/groom a successor, but signing him would delay the urgency of that. Some salary cap magic will be needed, but it's possible.
