I'm not sure this means anything at all. Numerous times over the years the Packers let the player test the waters, set the market and THEN make an offer. If the Packers say hey we want you want, then that raises the salary demands.

Packers right tackle Bryan Bulaga wondered after their playoff loss to the 49ers if he had just played his last game for the team. With free agency creeping closer, that appears to be the case. According to Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Packers haven't had any formal talks with the veteran free [more]

I would not be surprised if he ended up in Chicago.

Bulaga looking for around $12 million annually 

If the Green Bay Packers want to re-sign offensive lineman Bryan Bulaga, they are going to have to pay up.

According to Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports, Bulaga is aiming to land a deal that will pay him $12 million on the open market, which is certainly expensive for a right tackle.

Bulaga, who played his collegiate football at the University of Iowa, was originally selected by the Packers in the first round (23rd pick overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft.

While Bulaga has never made a Pro Bowl, he has been a consistent force along Green Bay’s offensive line when healthy.

The soon-to-be-31-year-old played in every game and made 12 starts during his rookie campaign, establishing himself as one of the Packers’ best offensive linemen from the get go.

Injuries inhibited Bulaga the next two seasons, as he played in just 21 games combined in 2011 and 2012, but he returned to make 15 starts in 2013.

It should be noted that Bulaga does have a rather checkered injury history.

After his injury-plagued campaigns in 2011 and 2012, Bulaga once again missed four games in 2014, and in 2017, he appeared in just five contests.

Since entering the NFL a decade ago, Bulaga has logged just three full 16-game seasons, most recently doing so this past year.

There is no doubting Bulaga’s ability when he is healthy, but given that he turns 31 later this month and has a rather extensive injury history, teams may be somewhat reluctant to give Bulaga the money he wants over a long-term a contract.

All of that said, Bulaga will certainly be one of the top offensive linemen available in free agency.



I was expecting Bryan to look for $8 or $9 mil. When I saw he's looking for $12 I almost fainted. THEN I checked with Spotrac. At a $12 million cap hit (And just because the average is $12 doesn't mean the cap hit will be that much. Load a bunch of it into a signing bonus and spread it out over 4 years.) he would be the 4th highest ROT and the 18th highest OT overall. Considering he is one of the best OT, I can live with it. Give him a 4 year $48 million deal. Put $12 mil in the bonus with a salary of $4 mil this year and it works. In year 3 or 4 drop him if his injuries and age are catching up.

dfosterf (23h) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
dfosterf (23h) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (23h) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
