I'd love a lockdown LT at ANY price tag to protect our young SuperStar QB
There are no first chair front office types in here who can determine what or what not the price tag for the beer chugger would be acceptable. That's for the guys who actually run the team. 
You really want Mark Murphy making that decision?
It may be a take-it-or-leave-it deal: take the pay cut and play for a young, up-coming team and QB, or leave it and go to NY where you'll play alongside second-stringers and for a QB who's one hit away from retirement. Frankly, I could see Bak leaving to play for a year with AR, and then both of them retiring at the end of the following year. It may not help the Jets much, but the buddy system remains in place.
Bak has already said that he knows his deal would have to be reworked. The knee is structurally sound, as he proved by playing flawlessly on it. The problem is the fluid that was still having to be drained. They finally identified the cause of the fluid and the latest operation was supposed to rectify that.

Bakh has a good pulse on this defense. Can he be DC next season?
He would be better than that dofuss Matt Patricia.
Another quote from him back then was that we are in a rebuilding year. Love Bakh but we all know he wasn't totally bought in early on.
Surely that quote was taken out of context. He was simply answering a question.

You'd think a guy that played 13 games in the last three seasons in the midst of a dwindling career would lay low, quietly work towards rehabbing his injury, and be respectful of the team that's been more than patient with him while writing him massive checks in hopes he'll regain his all pro form. Instead he acts like a tone deaf clown who self appointed himself a consultant for the social media department.
Don't have much hope for his future as a Packer and damn sure won't miss him when he's gone. Congratulations on being the most diva offensive lineman I can remember in the last 30 years of Packer football. He got brain worms from Lang and Sitton. Give me Bulaga or Clifton (who fought through way more than what made 69 quit on the stool this season). Don't blame the guy for taking every advantage not to be hobbled by a game that can cripple these guys for life, but don't go glory hunting after you weren't game enough to compete in a season you thought was dead from the start. Work your ass off towards being a part of what could be in 2024.
(I'm also a soulless hypocrite who will welcome him back with open arms if he's all in next season and wants to chase a ring while holding down the left wing of the line for Love to throw 50 TDs

I don’t mind an outspoken player. While he may be old for an NFL player, he is still only 32 years old. I was saying and doing a lot of stupid shit in my 30’s.
That said, I wouldn’t bring him back. He was a great Packer but I’m not trusting that knee for anything other than vet min. Also, He won’t want to play on artificial turf.
It just doesn’t make sense to risk the roster spot in my opinion since Walker has proven himself capable.
I don't know the "dead cap" and / or financial benefits of cutting him, but I'm inclined to take a renegotiated flyer on him. His knee is structurally sound, which he proved by playing at an elite level in the one game he played this year. The problem was that they couldn't remedy the fluid buildup (which I assume could do long term damage) that kept occurring. Guys like him don't come around very often. I realize others don't share my opinion.
