Green Bay Packers starting left tackle David Bakhtiari has become one of the best in the league at what he does. As a result, it would be only right for Bakhtiari to begin to expect a potential contract extension from the Green Bay Packers with his current pact nearing its conclusion.
However, Bakhtiari recently stated that he is not even thinking about a contract extension at this point in time with the Packers.
“At the end of the day,” Bakhtiari said, via Packers News.com, “I look to how I did in ’16. I get paid to play. I’m the left tackle, and I’m under contract for another season, and that’s what I’m focused on. Whatever the organization decides they want to do moving forward with me, we can have that conversation when it’s there. But, yeah, as of right now, I’m just focusing on making sure I play good football whenever it comes up, because the times right now have definitely been different. So I think a lot of guys right now are changing their preparation and process so that’s been taking the center stage.
“I’m not really thinking about what goes into the next step because I need to make sure I take this right step that’s happening right now.”
The Packers remain one of the bigger threats in the NFC as Green Bay is just one season removed from participating in a NFC Championship Game.
With Bakhtiari still protecting future Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the Packers may very well win the NFC in 2020.
