It wouldn't hurt my feelings if DG paid Bryan Bulaga $7 million a year

Right tackle Bryan Bulaga is ticketed for free agency and is said to be seeking a contract worth between $7 million and $8 million per year, two NFL sources familiar with the offensive tackle market told the Journal Sentinel.

The Packers entered the weekend with $32 million in cap space, a number that will be shaved down once the official figures in Cobb's four-year, $40 million deal come out. One of the sources told the Sentinel the Packershave "no interest" in going to $7 million annually for Bulaga, who graded out as ProFootballFocus.com's 16th-best tackle last season.

 

 

 

Now he likely won't... a $7 million per year OT is a "Tiffany's" signing and its almost 99.99% sure we won't go there.

 

But I'll fully support him if he does. :)

Is he not worth 7mil? I mean wouldn't he be an instant upgrade at LT?

 

He's a RT.  He'd be a major upgrade for us at RT, but is a RT worth $7M a year?

 

We aren't talking about an All-Pro RT here.  We're talking about a good RT.  A good RT who has ended up on IR in two of the past three seasons and missed a total of 28 games in his 5 seasons. 

 

No.  I wouldn't touch the guy at $7M per year.  That's assuming typical guaranteed money for such a contract.

Durability concerns probably have a lot to do with it.  He's missed 24 games in the past three seasons, including one entire season for a torn ACL.

 

That doesn't seem like 7m worth then. Besides we all know he's not coming here after the Oher signing anways.

I don't think the Oher signing has anything to do with it.  I think the fact that Bulaga is the only real quality starting OT on the market is going to drive his price well beyond his value.  Especially when you factor in the very real durability concerns.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By jb2288 · Posted

      agree to disagree you are entitled to that opinion even though I find the argument completely bizarre based on data. I could type out a long paragraph discussing those areas but what’s the point. I posted a screenshot that showed Bryce in a similar post snap situation with a free rusher in his face which resulted in a TD - that’s what happened on the play so I posted it.

      I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.
