By the way, in facing Mack, Hunter, Miller, Graham and now Lawrence, Bryan Bulaga has allowed exactly (grabbing calculator) ... zero sacks.

And half of r/Packers wanted him cut..

I’m very glad to see he hasn’t been hurt yet. He’s playing very well. This being said, it’s never been a talent issue, it’s been an injury issue. I’d be happy to bring him back on an incentive laden deal, if he’d be willing to do so. There won’t be a huge market for a 31 year old lineman with long injury history. Perhaps he’ll sign a team friendly deal. Tackle and middle linebacker need to be out top 2 draft picks next year
Hopefully he takes a team friendly deal. Guy is good, but hurt way to much.
Here's to hoping Bulaga will sign a team friendly extension. Cause he's been legendary this year. But we also need to remember he's injury prone (due to age and position) and he's aging. Wouldn't be smart to be cap tied to him beyond 3 more years. Maybe 2 years.
He’s been playing better than Bakhtiari this year
Idk about you guys, but I’d take 3 more years of Bulaga.. when healthy he’s showing he’s still a top RT in the game and he and Bakhtiari are the best Tackle tandem in the game

Was painfully obvious how anemic our run game was without him in the Eagles game. Hope he stays healthy, and that we get some depth in the o-line in case he doesn't
We’re not worthy
Bron B'logga, Owwa
Please franchise tag him at the end of the season Gute
Please, don't do this. A franchise tag would likely raise his cap hit to like $16 MM, which is double of what it is now. I know a new contract would come with a cap hit raise, but that drastic of a raise is a very bad idea.
That is a murderers row of pass rushers, heck I cannot think of another tackle going up against that and he excelled during that stretch. Gute better extend him!!
Unfortunately I don't think that's likely unless it's a 1-2 year deal. It just doesn't make sense the extend a aging, somewhat injury prone right tackle. I forsee Gutty drafting another tackle in the 2-4 rounds
And you how do you think that tackle is going to do against Flowers, Hunter and Mack twice a year?
Don’t bother, this sub wants to sign everyone under the sub except for a premium right tackle.
It “doesn’t make sense” to sign Bulaga? What doesn’t make sense to me is how quickly you all forget just how bad an offense looks with a shitty tackle. Acting like just drafting one will automatically work out is idiotic.
With Aaron’s health issues and the plethora of dominant pass rushers in the division it’s downright insane not to want to extend Bulaga. You live with the fact he may miss a few games from year to year considering he shuts pass rushers down regularly.
Yeah I dont want a 36 year old Rodgers with a rookie second round tackle in our division. I think you at least have to sign him to groom someone after him. I am actually how much push back there is to extending him, but the poor fatties in the trenches never get any respect.
If Gutty picks well as he has the last 2 years, probably pretty good. I love Bulaga as much as you do but you can't hold on to a guy past his prime out of loyalty when you could get a younger, cheaper option. That's not how you win superbowls
What indicates he's passed his prime?
Have to agree here. Just like bulaga will likely do what's best for him (sign a longer, bigger contract) the packers also have to do what's best. I'm not sure what our cap situation will be next year once we make our extensions (Clark, maybe blake etc) but I think next year the focus will solely be oline wr rb and ILB in no particular order. Have to imagine gute will be active in free agency although he certainly wont be spending as much this time around.
We should actually have a nice chunk of change, although not as much as last off-season. We probably sign Martinez to a reasonable, Lowry type deal. Clark will get a megadeal. But then the salary cap is likely to go up another $10 million as it has the last 5 years in a row, the $10 million or so in guaranteed perry money goes away, and we probably let Bulaga, Fackrell, and Tramon walk. We potentially cut Graham depending on how he/the other TEs do. I think WR is our biggest need, followed by TE/OL, and then ILB.
Yeah I think we are projected at 20 mil and we can and most likely will cut Graham and taylor which will free up some money. Also extending Clark wont hit the books til the following year I think.
