Green Bay Packers fans are some of the most passionate in all of sports. They have a long history of not only selling out Lambeau Field, but making their presence known in other team’s stadiums.
Packers fans (as well as every NFL fan) will also follow former players who move on to another team. That is especially true if that player was once a fan favorite.
Former Green Bay Packers Fan Favorite Linked To Worst Possible Team
Our very own Robin Adams initially reported on the news for our site:
David Bakhtiari, of course, is recovering from another knee surgery that ended his 2023 NFL season after just one game. However, he is reportedly on track to be fully recovered and ready to contribute to any NFL team by the time training camp begins. According to Steve Silverman of Clutch Points, one sportsbook has the Chicago Bears as the betting favorites to land the former All-Pro in free agency:
“According to BetOnline, the Bears are one of four teams that have the best shot of signing Bakhtiari. The website lists the Bears at +500 to lure Bakhtiari if he doesn’t return to the Packers.
“After Chicago, the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs are the second choice at +600. The Baltimore Ravens are third choice at +800, and the Dallas Cowboys are fourth at +900.”
Ironically, the only game Bakhtiari played last season was against the Bears, and he had Chicago fans so up in their feelings that he was getting unfriendly hand gestures thrown his way (and he threw a few back at the fans, too).
The Bears landing Bakhtiari would certainly make sense as they continue to try to surround their prize rookie quarterback Caleb Williams with the best team possible.
