First extension of the season:

The #Packers to terms with LT David Bakhtiari on a 4-year extension worth up to $51.67M. New money average is $12M per year. Top 5 for OLs.

that was quick. let's lock in TJ next.

I was really wrong about this kid. Thought he would never get above the "serviceable" level because of physical limitations. he has far exceeded my expectations. 

Good to read, if unsurprising. He's the youngest of the starting offensive linemen, even including Linsley. Spriggs' situation may become interesting in a couple of years.  

Beef him up and flip him to RT when Bulaga's deal is up.

Speaking of Lang, here he is sending his "congrats"

So happy for @DBak69 hard work pays off my friend. Free dinner for the rest of the year!!!!!

ARod has got to be liking this!  Now it's TJ's turn! 

Good for Bak. Makes you wonder what might have been had Bulaga not gotten injured.

He did a great job against Dante Fowler. Fowler isn't a polished pass rusher yet, but he has as much raw speed off the edge as anyone in the league and Bakh didn't let him get within arms length of Rodgers. 

Well TT didn't **** around.  

If this happened while Sitton was still on the team....may have had a problem in the locker room.

Great for Buck Cherry. LT is important eh?

True Boris, especially with Taylor starting.

Good deal for Bakhtiari.

Top-5 money is probably too rich for Bakhtiari on the surface but a: it is the latest contract, b: he's young and theoretically ascending to his prime, and c: imo, continuity with a good line is HUGE and you never want to change more than one lineman in a year, preferably every couple of years. Add in that he plays at the premier O-line position and it's a solid deal, imo. 

Didn't realize Bakh is the youngest of the top 6 OL

Bakhtiari, 24

Taylor, 26

Linsley, 25

Tretter, 25

Lang, 28

Bulaga, 27

Chad Clifton started 160 games for GB at LT over a 12 year career that spanned from 2000-2011. Bakhtiari has already started 47 games at LT at the beginning of his career (2013). If he plays out this contract, he'll be there until 2020.

Stability at LT is a key. It will be nice to have two borderline Pro Bowl level guys at that position for what looks like 20 out of 21 years.  Not sure Bakh will ever get to the Clifton level, but he's a guy you know is good enough to win with.

2012 is the outlier with Marshall Newhouse there (although it was probably supposed to be Sherrod).

With Bakh done, who's next?

I think Lil' Weazy is a wait and see proposition.  Tretter and Lang would be my guess.

Tretter and TJ next. Then Perry if he keeps stringing games like Sunday together and shows he can stay on the field. Then Lacy. Then don't respond to Micah's texts to the point he wonders why they hate him so much. 

Jury is still out on Datone. 

You would have to think Lang is next. There's no one else on that list where you look at it and think "Wow, we really can't afford to lose that guy." However, the Lang extension may depend on what their thinking is with how Spriggs and Bulaga are going to be handled in terms of playing time and position. You have to figure they didn't trade up to get Spriggs to have him sit on the bench for 3-4 years.

Lang will be interesting. Seeing what Sitton got from Bears & knowing that Packers do not value guards as highly as some do, he may head for "greener pastures"

I think Tretter is next. Nice to have two NFL caliber Centers. 

Esspecially when they can probably both play Guard. 

I think Eddie comes before Lang as well. 

Spriggs may end up our RT of the future. 

Sadly, because I really admire the guy, this may be Hydes last year in GB. 

But I hope I am wrong and they find a way to keep him. 

I think they'll let Lang walk and go younger again.... Tretter WILL be resigned--he's too good. Where will he be playing? Not sure.
