David Bakhtiari seems to be the only member of the Green Bay Packers willing to admit that the organization is in rebuild mode.

"How I look at is, it's disrespectful to say you're not rebuilding off a Hall of Fame quarterback," Bakhtiari said. "It was disrespectful to say you weren't rebuilding off of Brett Favre when you moved to Aaron [Rodgers]. No one knew Aaron and what he was going to be, so I'm not going to sit here and like pull back those words because that is, when you look at how it's been building, how we were chasing after it and the cap - there was a bunch of situations that can definitely allude to it - we have a young team."

Bakhtiari drew some criticism earlier in the offseason after an appearance on the "Bussin' With The Boys" podcast. He not only said, "The Packers are rebuilding, whether you think so or not," but already referred to the team as "they" instead of "we."

Bakhtiari would not say on Wednesday if he got a talking to from team officials after those comments. Shortly after Bakhtiari's original comments in April, Brian Gutekunst said he does not look at the first season with Jordan Love as quarterback as a rebuilding year.

"There's one goal here every single year, no matter what," Gutekunst said last month. "And just like it was back the last time we moved on from one quarterback to the other, right? The goals are the same. It's going to be on those guys to put in the work. It's going to be exciting to see. Nothing's really changing."
