Unless they turn around and send Gilmore, which would be hilarious.(which I doubt)..

As much as id love to see a hockey type move here. We’d have to give something else big with Gilmore for any worthwhile OL. If the packers wanted Gilmore they could have easily outbid us for him. 

I’d say Henderson is much more likely than Gilmore at this point.

Rodgers is gone from GB after this season regardless.  They could hire his brother to play LT and I don't think it would matter at this point.  

True, but do you want to piss him off more in-season?  Say goodbye to this season IMO.

He is half engaged at this point at least.

you actually typed the words “All-Pro LT” and then went on to suggest that they would, in any wild fantasy, trade him.

LOL well we just completed a trade yesterday for an All-Pro CB, which hardly ever happens - I think Jalen Ramsey is the last time, and I cannot think of any recent instances before that, so obviously the old rules don't necessarily apply any more.  Its a Brave New World, LOL.

Bakhtiari is Rodgers favorite O-lineman, you think the Packers are going to do anything to piss him off more?  Not that any sane team would trade a legit starting or even good backup O-lineman during the season.

Yeah, can't see this one happening. 

You could probably spend all day on the phone offering this and that to the Packers but in the end they'd still say no.

They want to keep Donte, his price will be the deciding factor. No team in their right mind would trade a LT on a decent contract for an up and coming player that’s about to get a payday. This is the Packers we are talking about they team that Davante Adams is the only WR Rodger’s needs to win.

    • Watched the recent Mic'd up which had the Bucs game. This angle makes that fumble look so much worse, pretty sure it was inbetween Bryce's hands.   bbb.mp4
    • Here is what you did not mention (and I have not read the thread--but will--it is a needed) and that is the MAFF.  He is in a contract year (2026-5th year) and we will not know (in all likelihood) how the knee is healing by the time we have to decide on a mega deal.   If you consider the time it takes to fully heal is 12 months if all goes well, the injury is known to shorten careers.  Of course, a man of 330 lbs who needs agility to perform at a high level makes the injury a bit more serious than it was for Jimmy Graham, for example, who recovered in a remarkable 9 months.  Having said all that, I think he should be moved inside to guard.   While many NFL linemen can return to play after patellar tendon surgery, studies show a significant failure rate and reduced performance, with return-to-play (RTP) rates often cited around 50-56%, meaning roughly 44-50% don't make it back, and even those who do often see reduced careers and statistics, highlighting it as a devastating injury for linemen." I think you have to go after an elite OT, and I think it should be a first rounder because you don't sign elite LTs in free agency.  Ickey is already going to get paid $18m or so in 2026.    However, the money you save by not locking him down long term could go to a free agent edge or ILB.  It is very complicated if you start factoring in contracts, risks, cap, and the odds of recovery.    
    • Yes, we played the 2nd most cover 3 in the NFL behind the Raiders.   The flats and seams are the areas you want to attack it so its soft spots are areas qbs can hit quickly which can definitely hurt the pass rush.
