Its not like Bulaga's deal is gonna prevent the Packers from signing whoever they are targeting. The Packers rarely spend big money on free agents. Even if they want to, the Packers came into the off season with over $33 mill in cap space. Now just under $17 mill of that is accounted for. Complain all you want, but this deal doesn't end the world as you you are making it seem.

Cobb is not very friendly for the Packers in 2 years, same with Jordy, Clay, Aaron, and others - we may not see the hit now, but this starts to add up down the line when these contracts play catch up....and Sitton, Daniels, Lacy, etc. will need to be paid.
Based on what I read, I think the Packers were looking at 5-6 for Bulaga, 8-9 for Cobb, so if true, they're "only" over about 3-4 mil, but again, that will hurt down the line.
I don't want to bitch too much - ultimately I'm happy the core is here and relatively close to what the Packers wanted to keep them at...just would have preferred at those 5 range for BB, and 9 for RC.
