Concerning a potential trade to the Jets, there is no indication that a deal is in progress. ā€œI have not heard that the Jets were trying to pry loose David Bakhtiari, nor have I heard that Green Bay is interested in moving on from him,ā€ Adam Schefter of ESPN reported on The Pat McAfee Show.

Bakhtiari, a pivotal figure on the Packers’ offensive line, encountered a truncated season last year, participating in just 11 games due to lingering injuries. In 2021, he was limited to one game. However, amidst the uncertainty, it appears the three-time Pro Bowler’s spirits are high.
