Overview

  • The Green Bay Packers have agreed to a four-year, $77 million deal with free-agent guard Aaron Banks, pending official confirmation when free agency begins Wednesday.
  • Aaron Banks, 27, started 43 games over the past three seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, where he played exclusively at left guard.
  • In 2024, Banks posted a 91.7% pass block win rate and a 69% run block win rate, despite finishing the season on injured reserve with a knee issue that did not require surgery.
  • The Packers are expected to adjust their offensive line, with speculation that current guard Elgton Jenkins may shift to center to accommodate Banks at left guard.
  • Banks’ addition strengthens an offensive line group already featuring returning starters and 2024 first-round pick Jordan Morgan, who is anticipated to compete for a starting role.
