David Bakhtiari defends saying Packers are entering a rebuild in switch from Aaron Rodgers to Jordan Love

The will look at lot different this year as they head into their first season since 2005 without champion quarterback on their roster after they .Green Bay has done a transition like this before, when it went from Brett Favre to a young Rodgers, and it certainly worked out that time. Now they are getting former first-round pick ready to lead the offense full time as Rodgers moves on from the Packers.Packers left tackle was honest about where he feels the team stands now, calling the quarterback switch a "rebuild" -- a couple days before the Packers made the deal April 24."We Dwight Howard Jersey 're moving on from a Hall of Fame quarterback" Bakhtiari said on . "I literally today talked to Jordan Love about this. I'm like, 'The Packers rebuilt from Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers.' What are we going to say? It's not a rebuild? Like, that is what that is." "Rebuild" often gets a negative connotation, but the veteran lineman wants to clarify this is not nece sarily a bad thing for the Packers. Bakhtiari is not predicting a losing season, but is rather setting expectations of a Lamine Diane Jersey transition period."That's totally fine," Bakhtiari said of the Packers needing to rebuild. "I'm not saying that we're going to be bad. I'm not saying we're going to be good. I don't know and that's the beauty. No one really knows how good they are. We start the season, everyone is batting 1.000. No one has any lo ses. No one has any wins. And let the season play out however it may be."Bakhtiari got some heat for his comments, but stands by his original claim, saying it would not be respectful to deny a rebuild. "How I look at is, it's disrespectful to say you're not rebuilding off a Hall of Fame quarterback," Bakhtiari said (). "It was disrespectful to say you weren't rebuilding off of Brett Favre when you moved to Aaron. No one knew Aaron and what he was going Alec Burks Jersey to be, so I'm not going to sit here and like pull back those words because that is, when you look at how it's been building, how we were chasing after it and the cap -- there was a bunch of situations that can definitely allude to it -- we have a young team."The Norvel Pelle Jersey Packers without Rodgers are a big question mark. Without the 10-time Pro Bowl QB they are being predicted as easier targets in the NFC North, a division wide open with a rebuilding , an on-the-rise and a team that saw succe s last year, but may not see the same this season.Bakhtiari, 31, had his own uncertainties surrounding his playing career this offseason, but said he's not planning to retire this season. Due to various injuries, he has not played a full season since 2019, playing just one game in 2021 and 11 in 2022. Things will get more complicated in 2024 between Bakhtiari and the only he has played for. He explained his contract situation, saying the Packers will either have to cut him or give him an extension based on the restructuring the two parties have done together. For now, Bakhtiari is along for whatever this "rebuild" brings and how he and the team fare may have implications on his future in Green Bay."That's gonna be mutually decided upon, not today, not sometime in the near future," Bakhtiari said on whether he would get cut or get an extension. "I think it's gonna come Furkan Korkmaz Jersey down to, if I had to gue s, as we play throughout the season, where I fit moving forward, and then also on my end where I want to be in my career and my life moving forward."The Packers (8-9) mi sed the playoffs last season, and without a proven quarterback, the prediction of many is that there will be no postseason ticket punched this year either.
