Definitely a player I am hoping the Packers re-sign. I'm not sure we have the OL depth to recover from losing him.

But if we lost him in FA, in theory we might be able to sign other FAs OT, but we'd still be in the hole and probably need to draft a couple high.
Also for right now, Gute saying Wagner would have to complete for the starting RT raised some eyebrows, on whom he would have to compete with, as none of the other potential RTs seemed to be on his level.
So Gute is thinking of one of the following
1) Bring back Veldeer later (probably not, as why not already have him signed).
2) Some of the UDFA OTs like Light, Nijman, Leglue and Conway might be able to battle for the spot (which seems unlikely unless they saw a lot of potential in Nijman).
3) They plan on having RG Billy Turner competing at RT with Wagner, which might make the most sense, as they have Taylor, Patrick and Runyan as potential OGs if Turner should win.
But none of these options would make up for potential losing Bak.
