The Green Bay Packers made the difficult decision to move on from long-time star David Bakhtiari. The $40M cap hit was just too much to overcome, even with a restructure. His recent injury history also played a major factor in the release.
Dillard (6-5, 315), a sixth-year player out of Washington State, was originally selected in the first round (No. 22 overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. After four years in Philadelphia (2019-22), he spent last season with the Tennessee Titans (2023). Overall, Dillard has played in 59 regular-season games with 19 starts.
In 2023, he tied his career high with 16 games played and set a career mark with 10 starts. He has also played in five postseason contests in his career. In college, Dillard played in 42 games with 39 starts and was a two-time All-Pac-12 selection. He will wear No. 73 for the Packers.
The Green Bay Packers have signed T Andre Dillard. The transaction was announced Thursday by General Manager Brian Gutekunst.
