If the Packers go purely off the tape, there's little reason to think they would not want Bulaga back. He has allowed only three sacks this season, according to ProFootballFocus.com, and two of them came in the Week 6 game at the Miami Dolphins.

But there's the injury history to factor.

The Packers never told Bulaga they wanted to see him get through a season before they talked contract, but that surely would have been a prerequisite.

Man I remember watching the way his knee buckled vs Seattle and thinking his career was over.

Well he should be signed, but nowhere near top 10 tackle money.

I have never been even slightly impressed by Bulaga, until this year.
When he was healthy he was maddeningly inconsistent and simply just adequate.
And then there was always the injuries.
Prior to this season I would have said, and probably did, let him walk.

This year he has played through injuries, and played well.
Based on this year I think the Packers should sign him if he would agree to a reasonable contract.
Not top ten tackle money.

We finally have an oline that has played together all season and played well. It would be a mistake to let Bulaga walk, just to insert Tretter. Bulaga will probably receive a decent contract offer, but it is very doubtful we break the bank on him.

I'd probably hesitate to put either at LT, but Bulaga (or Lang) could always swing over there in an emergency.

Just a ? for those not wanting to pay "top 10 money". Exactly how good of a RT are you expecting to have on this team for under 4m/year?

Pay him top 10 RT money for sure, I think most who are saying don't pay him top T money are including LTs, which are generally paid considerably more.

I would assume that due to his injury history and the fact that he plays RT, he would sign a relatively reasonable contract to stick in GB.

I’ve always liked him. He got through his rookie season without costing the Packers any games, and played well in 2011. People focused too much on the Seattle game in 2012. It was one bad half of football. The rest of the tape from that year is solid. Injuries slowed his development in the latter half of '12 and last season, but I always expected him to rebound. He’s tough as nails, and assignment sound. That’s what you want in a right tackle. Randall Cobb is the off-season priority, but Bulaga is right behind him.
