GREEN BAY - It was a most peculiar contract David Bakhtiari signed this spring, not at all like the one he hopes to sign sometime before next spring, but necessary all the same.

Forced to call an audible on his offseason training amid the coronavirus pandemic, the Green Bay Packers left tackle did what employees across America are doing using geography to maximize workplace production. For the past eight offseasons, Bakhtiari has trained with former teammate Clay Matthews. No, social distancing was not going to disrupt their routine, even with COVID-19 precautions limiting access to their offseason training grounds at ProActive Sports Performance in Westlake Village, California.
