I think so. Most conservative medical staff in the league.
Probably also just a veteran in case Love is getting killed out there with inexperienced tackles.

He really is a Bak replacement. Look at him!

Totally. Curious what the deal is. If Cobb isn't taking a cut, we've got no cap space. Work to do. But I like this signing. Solid starter for a good team last year. Good competition for us and some insurance. Could even start at RT too making Turner the swing or bump back to guard.

So why wasn't this guy on a football team prior to today?
This is better than a Jared Veldheer signing.

I do like Gute’s strategy of getting a few occasional vets vs just perpetual udrfas like Teddy.
Seems like this guy can play too, Tennessee’s O was legit last year, LaFleur knows him and visa versa.
Another solid pickup, imo.

Starting to wonder if a vet with a decent salary should start to be a little nervous

Uncanny!
When Bak comes back, opponents will be mighty confused "wait, now there's TWO of em!?"

Great move. Dude can play both spots but i think he can beat out Turner at RT long term. Adding another starter to OL comp. Going to be a battle just to make the team on the line.

5. Turner
6. Runyan
7. Newman

9. Braeden/Stapaniak/Van Lanaan/Yosh
Holy crap.
We are legit 3+ deep at tackle, center and guard

Yeah, Kelly feels like a potential upgrade from Wagner, honestly, which is the role he is likely signed for.

Packers just posted this signing on the team's Instagram account. @davidbakhtiari commented "Brother!!"

Bakh and Kelly also switched jerseys during part of practice

I didn't think it was possible to make David Bakh look small.
