Despite performing at a Pro-Bowl level when healthy, Bakhtiari's frequent absences raise doubts about his value to the Packers.

Recent reports by Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero indicate that Bakhtiari will be placed on the injured reserve list, sidelining him for at least four upcoming games.

Bakhtiari's knee injury, which required a scoping procedure, could potentially keep him out longer, adding uncertainty to his return this season.

Given Bakhtiari's cost and injury history, it's now imperative for the Packers to explore the possibility of trading the five-time All-Pro.

If a trade doesn't materialize, the Packers may need to consider releasing Bakhtiari next summer as the most viable option, given the circumstances.
