**Green Bay, WI** – The Green Bay Packers have landed one of the top offensive guards in free agency, signing Aaron Banks to a four-year, $77 million contract. The deal, which averages $19.25 million annually, significantly surpasses initial projections for the 27-year-old, who spent his first three seasons with the San Francisco 49ers.
Banks, who started 43 games for the 49ers over the past three years, was expected to command a high price in free agency. While the 49ers valued his consistent play and availability, they were ultimately unable to match the Packers’ offer. The move was anticipated by San Francisco, who preemptively signed Ben Bartch to a one-year deal to fill the left guard position.
The Packers’ acquisition of Banks bolsters their offensive line, adding a proven starter to their roster. For the 49ers, the loss of Banks marks a significant change to their offensive line, though they have already started to address this by filling the position with Bartch. The team will continue to assess their offensive line needs before the start of next season.
