The Green Bay Packers made a big splash in free agency on Monday as they are signing former San Francisco 49ers guard Aaron Banks. Banks was the top available guard in free agency, and he should provide a big boost to the Packers' offensive line. Banks has spent his entire career with the 49ers, but he is now on the move from San Francisco to Green Bay.

“The top guard is off the market: Sources say #49ers G Aaron Banks is expected to sign with the #Packers, as QB Jordan Love gets another bodyguard,” Ian Rapoport said in a post.

Aaron Banks played college football at Notre Dame, and he ended up being selected by the 49ers with the 48th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Banks has been with the 49ers during all four years of his career, but he will be away from San Francisco for the first time next season. The Packers have a lot of young talent on the team, and Banks is another player that has a bright future in the organization.

2 hottest Packers takes coming out of 2025 minicampDouglas Fritz ·

Banks will be tasked with protecting quarterback Jordan Love. Love's NFL career got out to a bit of a shaky start, but he has settled in nicely during the past couple of seasons. The Packers had a successful season last year that led them to the playoffs, but they lost in the first round against the Philadelphia Eagles, who went on to win the Super Bowl. There's definitely no shame in losing to them.

The future looks bright for the Packers with Jordan Love leading the way at QB, and improving their offensive line with a top free agent like Aaron Banks is a big move. This Packers team is riddled with young talent, and it is looking like they will be among the best teams in the NFL for years to come.
