Aaron Rodgers should share his NFL MVP honors with his offensive line! This bunch was not only good, but versatility PLUS! The usual starters:
LT - David Bakhtiari - year 8
RT - Billy Turner - year 7
LG - Elgton Jenkins - year 2
RG - Lucas Patrick - year 4
C - Corey Linsley (free agent)
This is a GREAT group. They rarely played together this year! First, all-pros!!!! Bakhtiar, Linsley & Jenkins! WOW! Not many teams have this!!! Linsley missed many games early in the season. Bakhtiari, missed the last part of the season and the playoffs! The best moving part, Elgton Jenkins, only in year 2, was NOT only versatile, but GOOD!!!!! Free agents - Linsley
Others:
Braden, Ben - Guard - year 2
Nijman, Yosh - Tackle - year 1
Runyan, Jon - Guard - rookie
Wagner, Rick - Tackle - year 8
Hansen, Jake - Center - rookie
Johnson, Zach - Guard - rookie
Stepaniak, Simon Guard - rookie
Taylor, Lane- Guard - year 8
Veldheer, Jared - Tackle - year 10
Previous starter Lane Taylor missed the entire year. One of those great stories of a hard worker who worked his way into a starter! Is a free agent. Rick Wagner played a lot at right tackle with all the injuries on the offensive line. Other players, Jon Runyan & Yosh Nijman provided backup depth. This will still be a Packer strength, even if we do not sign our free agents!
