Ex-Packers Legend Cleared from Injury, Eyes Final Season at Green Bay

Green Bay, WI – Green Bay Packers fans are electrified as a franchise legend, now fully recovered from injury, has voiced his desire to return for one last chapter. The 2025 season just gained a surge of nostalgia.

That legend is David Bakhtiari, the 33-year-old offensive tackle who dominated for 11 seasons with the Packers. Fully healed from a debilitating knee injury, he is eyeing a comeback to Green Bay.

“I’ve had offers, but I turned them down because I don’t want to face the Packers,” Bakhtiari told ESPN on Tuesday. “My entire career has been here, and now I want to play one or two final seasons with the Packers.” His words have sparked hope across the fanbase.

The 6-foot-4, five-time All-Pro tackle started 130 of 131 games, protecting Aaron Rodgers en route to six NFC North titles. A 2023 injury cut his tenure short, leaving fans yearning for his return.

Bakhtiari’s comeback would fortify an offensive line ranked third for fewest sacks allowed (30) in 2024. Head coach Matt LaFleur called it a “potential game-changer” for the unit, per ESPN.

With $22 million in cap space, per Spotrac, the Packers can afford a short-term deal for Bakhtiari. GM Brian Gutekunst expressed interest, stating, “We’re eager to explore that opportunity.”

Fans are thrilled at the prospect of Bakhtiari lining up alongside Zach Tom. The move could bolster Super Bowl hopes after a turbulent 2024 season.

As training camp nears, Bakhtiari’s call to return could reshape his legacy. Can he lead Green Bay to glory in his farewell season? Stay tuned to ESPN for updates.

Bills WR Officially Benched After Repeatedly Showing Up Late to Team Meetings - This Is His Fifth Time Being Late, He Was Reportedly Intoxicated
SHOCKING news out of Orchard Park: The Buffalo Bills have indefinitely benched their former second-round wide receiver after yet another disciplinary incident. Sources inside One Bills Drive confirm this marks the FIFTH time in the 2025 season the player has been late to a team meeting — and the latest offense was the final straw: he reportedly showed up reeking of alcohol. Moments after Monday’s team meeting, head coach Sean McDermott addressed the media with a tone that left no room for interpretation: “The Buffalo Bills will not tolerate disrespect toward this football team, disrespect toward your teammates, and disrespect toward yourself. We’ve given chances, we’ve had private conversations, we’ve done everything we can. At this point, enough is enough. When you walk into this building, you represent an entire city and an entire fan base. We cannot and will not accept this any longer.” That player? None other than Keon Coleman — the once-hyped Florida State product drafted in the second round of 2024 to be Josh Allen’s next big-play weapon. From “generational talent” to full-blown headache in less than two seasons: Incidents 1–2: Late to meetings → internal warnings Incident 3: Benched for two full games in November 2025 Incident 4: Seen dancing on the sideline while serving that benching Incident 5: Showed up late AGAIN… and allegedly intoxicated → indefinitely removed from the active roster Just weeks ago, Bills Hall of Famer Andre Reed spent nearly two hours on the phone trying to mentor the 22-year-old, but it now appears the message fell on deaf ears. With no Bills receiver currently on pace for even 760 yards this season and the room already paper-thin after the Amari Cooper and Brandin Cooks additions, losing Keon Coleman — even for non-football reasons — is a gut punch. Bills Mafia is LIVID. Many are already calling for the front office to cut their losses, just like they did with first-round bust Kaiir Elam and second-round flop Boogie Basham. The million-dollar question now: Is this the end of Keon Coleman in Buffalo, or will Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane give him one final lifeline? Drop your take in the comments: Keep Keon and hope he grows up… or ship him out TODAY? 👇🔥
