Unless the money is completely out of whack, I easily choose Cobb. Mainly due to health concerns. Cobb had the one injury, but has been health 3 of 4 years. Bulaga has only been healthy 2 of 5 years.

I'd pick Bulaga, depending on the health of Abbrederis.
If I could absolutely only have 1 it'd be Cobb I think. One the one hand Bulagas position is probably more important and I don't particularly like having guys like Cobb who need 100 catches per year realize their value. On the other hand Cobb is a premiere slot option on a team that already lacks much at TE, he has special teams value, and one of the best locker room guys in the NFL.
Also Bulaga stands out as a guy who really came out flat on the road this season and was a big reason why we had an offense that was more inconsistent than our notoriously inconsistent defense.

Franchise Tag 2015: Why the Packers will not tag Randall Cobb or Bryan Bulaga
By: Evan "Tex" Western @TexWestern on Feb 16, 2015, 1:00 PM
"...neither player plays a position that lends itself to the high dollar values associated with the Franchise Tag. "
Comment woodbuck27: Wasn't it in 2012 that the NY GIANTS applied the Franchise tag to their punter.

Do you think there is a price lower than market FA for a RT that Ted will let Bulaga walk and trust that Tretter or Barclay can play RT?Originally Posted by 3irty1
I don't think there is if market is between $6-7 mil per year. Above that, I think he goes unless Cobb can't be brought back.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
This year? Do you really think so? As one article that was linked here somewhere noted, Bulaga pretty much shut out Mario Williams in Buffalo. Williams was unheard from until Bulaga went out with the concussion late in the game, and Tretter came in. Bulaga was redeeming himself against Seattle until he hurt his knee and Sherrod came in.
I thought Bulaga was pretty consistent this year, home and away; and he got better as the year progressed. Not surprising, after missing and entire year+ .
Yes, I thought Bulaga played very well this past season. I would think a high priority would be to keep #12 upright and healthy. Without AR it really doesn't matter who we have a WR IMO.
He had some rough goes at pass pro on the road, including the Seattle game, though to be fair I do not recall a particular play. He was getting beat by speed. He might not have given up a sack but his guy was forcing Rodgers to react, which was bad because Bach's guy was doing the same.

That's a trick question to which there's no right answer.
I'd have to pick Cobb because of the dearth of proven talent behind him. I don't see how Abrederis is anything but a huge question mark at this point. Maybe Adams can play in the slot and Janis has potential, but that's too many questions for my taste. Plus it takes some time to get on the same page with Rodgers. Cobb is the only really good answer.
At least we've seen Barclay play and get by before the injury.
Lifespan is largely irrelevant, since they will both still (presumably) be productive through the end of their upcoming contracts.
Exactly. Each could still be in their prime when they again are free agents
Someone on another forum said he heard Denver offered Bulaga $9M/year a contract and Barclay signed a 3 year deal with Indy. Have any of you heard anything about either player? I've scoured the Internet and there is nothing out there at all.
Considering no one can do that yet (and the only way to get caught tampering is to go public while doing it) its a non-starter.
