The Green Bay Packers aren’t afraid to invest in the offensive line. Over the last two years alone, the team used first- and second-round picks (Jordan Morgan and Anthony Belton), signed a big-ticket free agent (Aaron Banks), reach a big contract extension (Zach Tom), and even traded for a veteran (Darian Kinnard) across the line.

Well, general manager Brian Gutekunst should be happy he did that. Over the first month of the season, the Packers were amongst the teams who used the highest number of different linemen. And while no NFL team can go unpunished by such a sequence, the offense was still able to operate at a good level—Green Bay is second in offensive EPA/play over the first four weeks.

Now, the Packers have a bye, and then a long sequence of the season is ahead. Not only that, starting left tackle Rasheed Walker and right guard Sean Rhyan have expiring contracts. So after using eight linemen in four games, the Packers will have to make some decisions that will have major implications both for the short- and long-term outlook of the unit.

So let’s go position by position.

Left tackle

Rasheed Walker has been the starter since 2023 and played the vast majority of LT snaps this season, outside of four where he had a helmet issue. But the performance this season has not been what the team would look for. He’s given up 13 pressures, with the worst blocking efficiency (94.4%) amongst the entire Packers’ line.

Jordan Morgan has moved around too much, playing at LG, RG, and RT. But LT is his theoretical natural position, and the first-rounder played well there in the preseason. If everyone is healthy, Matt LaFleur could consider at least a rotation between the two. Anthony Belton played the other for snaps at left tackle this season, and he could be both a short- and long-term alternative as well.

Left guard

Aaron Banks is the starter after signing a four-year, $77 million contract in free agency. While that deal was always questionable, and he hasn’t been the run blocker the Packers would hope for, he’ll probably be the option moving forward. He’s handled several minor injuries since training camp, so the expectation is that Banks will get better with continuity at some point.

Center

Elgton Jenkins has not been close to the “All-Pro level” the Packers thought he could achieve, but he’s still been viable in pass protection—outside of the Cleveland Browns game, he’s been ok there. Run blocking is an issue, and that combination brings questions about the future.

Jenkins will be 30 in December, and he’s slated to make $20 million in 2026, which makes him an obvious trade/cut/paycut candidate. However, there isn’t an obvious replacement option, since Sean Rhyan is a pending free agent and Jacob Monk hasn’t panned out yet.

Right guard

Initially, the plan was for Sean Rhyan and Jordan Morgan to rotate at right guard, but injuries across the line affected the idea, so Rhyan has dominated the position. He’s allowed 10 pressures, though, and has stamina question marks. If Morgan can’t win the LT battle, this would be his natural spot.

Right tackle

Zach Tom missed most of the four games so far with an oblique injury, but there’s a realistic expectation for his return to happen in Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals. He’s the best offensive lineman on the team, and the only one with an 100% blocking efficiency so far.

He’s the long-term option there as well after signing a four-year, $88 million extension. The only chance he moves in the future is a potential change to left tackle, in a scenario where Belton would play on the right side. If/when Tom is not available, Belton and Kinnard are the options.
