I think we keep 2 out of three starters, and depending how Spriggs looks it might be both guards. I like Bahktiari alot but not sure he's worth open market tackle money. If we can get him signed before hand I think I'd be ok with it. Between Sitton and Lang it's a toss up for me. Sitton is slightly better skill wise but is a bit more broken down , while I think Lang has a 3-4 more top years left.

Would love if we could keep Tretter as a swing man, but that's unlikely. He'll want starter money somewhere.

What do you all thinK?

COULD? It most certainly will, I wouldn't be surprised to only keep one of the three. I don't think Bahktiari is a long term solution at LT. Taylor will end up in one of the two G spots next year.

Let other teams overpay.

Four of the Packers top six OL from last year are FAs. Sitton, Lang, Bak and Tretter.... I think the Packers will resign two of them... I would not be surprised if Tretter is one of them, as it sounds more and more like he could potentially be a long term replacement for Sitton or Lang.

I'm not sure why Bulaga isn't a candidate to be cut so you can keep Bahktiari and Spriggs. This game is about youth not hanging on to injury prone veterans.

If Bahktiari and Spriggs are both retained, who is your left tackle?

...so the Pack can get some nice comp picks, which Ted can now trade.

If Bahktiari is on the team, then ideal he should be at LT... because LT fits his strengths much better with quickness and speed. While RT and OGs have to deal with more power guys, which Bahktiari is not the best against.

Of course Spriggs has better long term potential at LT, but he's raw and probably not ready yet. But in theory could be switched over to RT if needed (but I'm not sure that's what you want).

This could be one of the reasons Bulaga isn't a candidate to be cut, because of his versatility. Bulaga can probably play RT or the OGs... and with him not being as quick on those knees, OG might be the long term place for him. Also because of money... if you cut Bulaga then their is dead cap space (and the Packers don't have a lot of cap room looking at this year and next offseason to resign everybody)... and I'm not sure you could get Bahktiari (a LT... so they get paid more) to sign for less than $7 million like Bulaga did, which would be taking up even more cap space.



Also that (Comp picks)... assuming Bahktiari signs for at least $7 million, then the Packers will most likely be locked in for a 4th round comp pick. If he's able to get a top 15 LT contract $8.9 million or more... then he'll have a chance at possibly landing a 3rd round comp pick.

Where if we trade Bulaga... maybe a 5th?

So basically it's not about just the best players, but also the money and cap space and versatility of the players.
