Packers sign Aaron Banks to $77M deal

The Green Bay Packers have signed former San Francisco 49ers guard Aaron Banks to a four-year, $77 million contract. Banks, who was drafted in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, has started 43 of 53 games over his four-year career and was the primary starter at left guard for the 49ers. His addition is expected to enhance protection for quarterback Jordan Love and strengthen the Packers' offensive line, which may lead to shifts in positions among existing players. Notably, Elgton Jenkins, a two-time Pro Bowler, could be moved to center if the team opts to keep Banks at left guard. Banks' performance will be closely monitored, especially after a less impressive 2024 season. The Packers are likely to provide more details about Banks and their plans for the offensive line soon.
