Source: Packers to Re-sign Bulaga Tonight

[pbmax]

if they don't resign Bulaga might as well write off super bowl aspirations next year. there isn't anyone on the roster who can step in and is ready, nor will there be anyone in the draft I'd want to gamble on being able to do the job good enough. Lines win championships.

They made the playoffs without their QB when Bulaga was out in 2013 and they were competitive with the 49ers in the playoffs despite the rust on offense.

The line might have been a better run blocking unit in 2013, though Barclay needed to get better at pass pro. He will have had two offseasons to improve (minus rehab) plus they have Tretter now and whoever else shows up from the draft.

Its survivable.

Only took three more days than the original post suggested...

Mr. Packers4Glory, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this forum is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Smidge, that is the news I've been waiting to hear. Let's hope in a few hours it's official.

[Patler]

Bulaga's expected signing is everywhere now, JSO, GBPG and NFL.com.

Source: Though discussions are on-going, OT Bryan Bulaga's ultimate deal should come in, roughly, around the $7M per year mark.

Not so much a hometown discount if true. He's not the best RT, but this figure puts him in Top 5 even after this year's deals and cap increase. Wonder how many years it will be?

Sounds like TT had to bend (over?) on this one. I'd have thought he'd have been more willing to stretch to keep House than Bulaga, considering he's got Barclay waiting in the wings. But then again, you want to protect the GOAT.

A backup Tackle with fewer starts than House had got over $6 mpy. That kinda torpedoed the original Packers offer that probably topped out at $6 mpy.

backup Tackle with ridiculous deal was Dallas tackle Jermey Parnell.

OK, maybe declaring hometown discounts over was premature, Charles Robinson doesn't agree with me.

You should move here, Uncle Charles. RT @CharlesRobinson: Must be something about Green Bay. #Packers got two solid hometown discounts.

Kind of interesting that the #Packers gave second contracts to 5 of their 7-man 2010 draft class. Also all seven finished rookie deals in GB

Won't be repeated with 2011 or 2012, but impressive none-the-less.

It's done. Now I wonder of Packer Update was right and it was done 3 days ago, or if Spoon and JSO are right that the Packers had to come up over their previous top number.

For #Packers OT Bryan Bulaga, it’s a 5-year deal worth an average of just under $7M per year, source said.

good news

of course the original rumor monger will call this one a win, even though he got it wrong

Wasn't it said the Packers didn't want to go over $7M/yr? It sounds like they didn't.

By 3 or 4 years from now, that will sound cheap. Assuming, of course, that Bulaga is playing and not spending half his time on IR.

so, on one hand, they're saying the packers had to come up to match him. on the other hand it was said that bulaga wanted 7-8 million a year and the team wasn't going over 7.

the numbers are 5 years, 35 million

what am i missing?

Where did you get the number?

Reports were that BB was $7-8 and Packers wouldn't go to $7. Earlier reports had them much closer to $6. If they came up $750,000, still a win for him. Plus there are guarantees to wonder about.

And not to worry anyone, but last I read, they were still going over the fine print with Condon, deal had not been submitted.
