Dear Lord I need to go to sleep again and try again tomorrow LOLWhich maid? Why does the roster need a maid?

as would all the saved cap money.
Actually, that was what I thought months ago. However, if I am reading the details of his contract correctly, there is actually a $1.2M savings on the cap this season if he is traded/cut, plus his per game bonuses. Add to that a cap savings of $21.53M next season and it starts to make sense, especially if Bahk is on his final leg (pun intended).But there isn't a savings, which is the rub.
His cap number for this year is just north of 21 million. Almost all of that is his prorated signing bonus and restructure games. His 2023 base salary is a paltry 1.2M. If we cut or trade him, his cap hit jumps to just over 38M. This is a direct cost to getting rid of him, NOT a savings. We only have ~11M in cap space right now. We'd have to cut or restructure other players just to pull of this move.
Could be but it might just mean that why play him in meaningless games? and just let the knee strengthen even more. While it might be strong enough right now; it won't hurt to get it stronger. But because of that question and because of the money; I don't think we can realistically trade him this year. Have to see how he does and think about it next year. imhoHe's a big cap hit for the next 2 seasons either way, but I tend to agree with this thinking. I didn't think that 4 months ago, but Bahk has been put in a protective bubble all summer, which tells me something about his knee.
From what I have read, it is all about improved blocking. I hope they use him to catch the dam ball more often and not just those crummy passes in the flat that don't go anywhere and that he really does not have a chance to make yards.Reports indicate that Deguara has stacked a couple of quality days in practice. Coupled with Pearson’s injury, he’s probably got a roster spot on lock.

I've got Hollins on my 53 man list. The Packers would save only $1.125M if they cut him. Chump change for a guy that has proven to be a valuable backup. With LVN a tweener between playing on the DL and as OLB, I don't think keeping 5 additional OLB's is too many. (Preston Smith, Rashan Gary, JJ Enagbare, Justin Hollins, Brenton Cox).I noticed Hollins doesn’t show up on several lists in here. He was pretty regular last season on Defense. Are you guys saying he doesn’t make the team? He was a pretty regular contributor on our D (37% D snaps). Hollins 3 QB hits are tied for the PS lead with Brooks
To me Carpenter is on the outside looking in as far as roster spots.
I agree. In July and August, every fanbase is talking about this is the year to win a Super Bowl. By October, that chatter turns into talk of who will be fired, what went wrong and who is available in the next draft.I love the enthusiasm and beliefs in where the team sees to be at this point, but I'm a pragmatist. I know that every NFL team is putting out all the hype in favor of their teams that they can get. I also know that the media, to insure they have less limited access to the teams during the season, is right in there, acting like cheerleaders for all the teams. It's the nature of the game. Especially at this time of year. The league is driving for memberships in Sunday Ticket, and corporate sponsors, who can swell the team's pockets.
If the preseason cheering stops, the fans don't buy into what the league is selling.
We're going to see what this team is made of when they play the Bears on opening weekend. It's going to be a big test, because it's a rivalry game, and should be one the team is up for.
Ah, but you save next year's money regardless.However, what you pick up in draft capital, plus the $21.53M you save next season, makes the idea very tempting.
That is the thing, his actual salary is totally doable for a team that wants to take a 1-2 year shot at a Super Bowl, but is missing a star LT. His new team would only be on the hook for:Ah, but you save next year's money regardless.
As far as the capital--what are you honestly expecting for Bhak? You identify him as an injury risk, so why wouldn't every other team make the same conclusion? Especially if they see 2024's number untenable, making the trade a 1 year rental?
That is the thing, his actual salary is totally doable for a team that wants to take a 1-2 year shot at a Super Bowl, but is missing a star LT. His new team would only be on the hook for:
2023: $1.2M + Annual Per Game Active Bonus: $29,411
2024: $21,593,481
That averages out to about $11.5M a year. If he gets injured and they don't want him for 2024, that $21.593 isn't guaranteed. If he stays healthy and plays up to his potential, that team gets a sweet deal.
As far as what is he worth in a trade? Someone like the Jets, might give a conditional 2nd round for him. I wouldn't take less than a late 2nd round or early 3rd.
I get keeping him out of meaningless preseason games, but he is being held out of practices as well. That tells me something about the Packers comfort level with Bahk's body.Could be but it might just mean that why play him in meaningless games? and just let the knee strengthen even more.
Interesting and I forgot this fact.At his cost and his level of play I truly think a team that gets hungry for a T could cough up a Day 1....you may have to slide back Bakh and a say 4th rounder (MAYBE a 3rd) but I could easily see 1st from someone....shoot I think Yosh could get you a for sure 3rd personally given his play and insanely cheap if a team needs a starting tackle right at the moment.
I'd be OK with a 3 and conditional playing time 5/6. With the Jets I'd solidify the 1st from the AR12 trade also.As far as what is he worth in a trade? Someone like the Jets, might give a conditional 2nd round for him. I wouldn't take less than a late 2nd round or early 3rd.
I don't think it's any secret their concerned with his knee, they've come right out and said it. They're also very comfortable letting him play without practice as he's shown he can step right on the field from nothing and still be one of the best in the business. It won't be that way for ever, but as long as his knee can stay in playing shape, i don't care if he ever suits for practice or not.
and to lose that quality at tackle to save a million bucks? I'll take my chances thank you.

This is the trade you could do that with. Basically, the Packers get the Jets 1st and 2nd round picks, no matter what Rodgers or Bahk does this season.I'd be OK with a 3 and conditional playing time 5/6. With the Jets I'd solidify the 1st from the AR12 trade also.
I don't think moving Bakh has anything to do from a money saving stance - at least not for me and my mind a logical organization. Yes, you don't do it if it costs you money (but it won't).
The reason you do a Bakh move is multi-faceted to me; this is NOT the year you're pushing for SB let alone maybe even division, you have a plethora of tackles on roster in your (team's) opinion in Jenkins, Tom, Walker, Jones and Yosh, plus you are building a future here around Love and our young talent - adding HIGH level picks in the 2024 draft is quite valuable.
but you're starting a young QB who's filling in for a departed all time great.
