GREEN BAY – The Green Bay Packers are shuffling their offensive line.
If you don’t believe it, consider this: the Packers have agreed to terms with San Francisco 49ers guard Aaron Banks, a source confirmed.
NFL Network reported that Banks would sign a four-year, $77 million free-agent contract with the Packers when free agency officially begins Wednesday.
According to a source, Banks would likely play left guard, the position at which he started for the 49ers. His signing all but assures that the Packers will not re-sign free agent center Josh Myers and opens the door for left guard Elgton Jenkins to move to center.
The 6-foot-5, 325-pound Banks, a former second-round draft pick of the 49ers, has been a three-year starter on coach Kyle Shanahan’s offensive line and one of his top performers. The former Notre Dame player provides size to the left side of the offensive line and allows Jenkins to play what some considered his best spot coming out of college.
