The Green Bay Packers made a huge move in free agency on Monday, signing former San Francisco 49ers guard Aaron Banks. Banks was the highest available guard in free agency, and he should significantly improve the Packers’ offensive line. Banks has spent his entire career with the 49ers, but he is now moving from San Francisco to Green Bay.
“The top guard is off the market: Sources say #49ers G Aaron Banks is expected to sign with the #Packers, as QB Jordan Love gets another bodyguard,” Ian Rapoport said on his blog.

Aaron Banks played collegiate football at Notre Dame before being taken 48th overall by the 49ers in the 2021 NFL Draft. Banks has spent his whole four-year career with the 49ers, but he will leave San Francisco for the first time next season. The Packers have promising young talent, including Banks.
Banks will be responsible for shielding quarterback Jordan Love. Love’s NFL career began shakily, but he has settled in nicely during the last several seasons. The Packers enjoyed a fantastic season last year, making it to the playoffs, but they were eliminated in the first round by the Philadelphia Eagles, who went on to win the Super Bowl. There is absolutely no shame in losing against them.
The Packers’ future seems bright, with Jordan Love leading the way at quarterback, and adding a top free agent like Aaron Banks to their offensive line is a significant move. This Packers team is loaded with young talent, and it appears that they will be among the best teams in the NFL for many years to come.
