A new OL in the mix. Bell has played both RT and OG, and I believe the Packers have attempted to sign him in past years when he's been a FA and he choose to sign elsewhere.

I wonder where they're going to have him focus. Is he going to be working at RT against Murphy/Spriggs competing for that role until Bulaga is fully healthy, or is he going to be competing at RG with McCray.

We don't yet know if they're looking at him as an OG or RT yet. My first guess would be OG but it could be RT, especially if Bulaga isn't fully healthy.

Competition for the the RT spot and added experienced depth in general. Bulaga is most likely starting the season on the PUP list.

I think he's Bulagas temporary replacement until he's healthy with McCray as right guard. It's still early but I think they're the frontrunners.

My anxiety level on the right side just went down quite a bit. Love that we added a vet into the mix with Bulaga's uncertainty. Who knows maybe we cut Bulaga and roll with this guy at RT. Great to have competition and options.
