Pack Nation, Big Sal is breaking down the single biggest question mark on the entire Green Bay Packers roster: Aaron Banks and his $77 million contract. After a injury-plagued first year where he played just 57% of snaps and battled back, ankle, groin, and knee issues, 2026 is the ultimate prove-it season for the veteran guard.
- Banks' early-season struggles vs. his late-season dominance, including a standout Wild Card performance against the Bears
- The massive dead money implications ($36+ million) and why the Packers are all-in with no escape hatch
- How one healthy, consistent season from #65 could transform the offensive line, protect Jordan Love, and unlock the entire offense for Josh Jacobs and the passing game
- The high-stakes gamble of premium free agent money and what it means for Love's prime years
