Aaron Rodgers’ Best Friend’s Future in Jeopardy as New Reports Arrive During NFL Minicamp

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers might be about to lose one of his long-time teammates but not because of a trade. The franchise left tackle David Bakhtiari might be due for a period on the sidelines during the offseason workout programs. It has been a tough couple of years in the NFL for Bakhtiari after making just one appearance in 2 years for the Packers.

The availability of star LT Bakhtiari will be a welcome boost for the Packers in Week 1 of the upcoming NFL campaign. Even head coach Matt LaFleur seems to be trying to get him ready to go next season but remains unconvinced in getting him back.

The 3-time Pro Bowler has been one of the more reliable figures in Wisconsin for Rodgers and part of the core of the team. 

While talking about his playing status, Packers Wire’s Zach Kruse quotes LaFleur stating, “Time will tell. We fully anticipate him being ready to go, but, you know, we did last year as well. Time will tell. But we feel good about the work he’s put in and where’s he at.” It seems to be a constantly evolving situation for the franchise, with Bakhtiari putting in the work behind the scenes.

There is a special bond between the Packers No.69 and No.12 beyond the football field and seems to result from their 9-year association with each other. Bakhtiari was among the select few names in Rodgers’ gratitude’ post and part of his ‘Friday crew’. But there was also a special moment in the last few months, as Rodgers was also an officiant in a recent affair.

The former Super Bowl champion was at Bakhtiari’s wedding at the Rosewood Miramar Hotel in California in late February.

While Rodgers has had rough moments off the field, Bakhtiari had his on the football field.

The upcoming 2022 season will bring a unique set of challenges for the Packers franchise in their pursuit of a Super Bowl title. Despite having one of the most potent offensive displays in recent seasons, it was their defense and special teams’ errors that cost them dearly.
