Definitely yes on Bulaga. His price should be fairly reasonable, and the way he has played this year (plus the hard times when he was out) seals it. The past couple of years, I would have said no, but somehow, he has come back as good or better even than he was in his early Packer years.

I hope we keep Tramon also - a short term contract for whatever it takes as long as it isn't too extreme.

Considering the limited need and use by the Packers of the position, Guion is really all we need at NT - backed up by Pennell. My thoughts on stinking Raji are well known, get RID of him - don't even offer him a contract; If they pay him over the vet minimum, I will be EXTREMELY pissed. However, I have a question about him - maybe getting some benefit out of the fat lump: considering that he was a first round pick, do we get any compensation if he signs with somebody else? And if not, why not?

Personally, I would sign Raji to a cheap deal, 1 year/2 million or less and have him prove he can even make the team. Nobody knows what his health is like after the injury. Worst case, he gets cut.

Bryan Bulaga is a good RT, that's not questionable. The health of the man seems to be very questionable. A contract for sure, one that is paying him with incentives on how many games he is active for.

Sign him.
Finally the packers have a line that is starting to gel. Protecting Rodgers is the ultimate goal.
This team is ordinary without Rodgers.
It won't matter who you put under center if the line is porous again.
Look at what happened to Arizona this year.

I certainly agree with this, but I bet there will be other desperate teams out there that would be more forthcoming and generous with a contract offer for Bulaga. If the Packers take this route, I wouldn't be shocked for him to be in a different uniform next season. That would be a blow for the Packers, for sure.

Maybe not... Thompson is willing to over pay good current Packers players and Bulaga is that (when healthy)... so unless another team comes out with a very surprising deal (like the Colts did for Walden) then the Packers should be able to offer him a little bit more and get him back. Plus who knows, he might not ever have another injury, you never know, he played pretty well this year.

Maybe make him a deal based on incentives. Tramon could be the odd man out.

It'll be an incentive laden deal. Bulaga hasn't had a full season in a long time.

Let Tramon walk, and give House a new contract. Raji could be had cheap. We're the only team that can get him a championship.

We could save some money by cutting Jones and give it to Bulaga. Just a thought.

wpr (12h) : 5 days
beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
