The Packers expected bad news about right tackle Bryan Bulaga after Monday night's knee injury and that's just what they got on Tuesday. Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that tests have confirmed that Bulaga tore his ACL during Green Bay's loss to the Lions. Bulaga will miss the rest of the season as a [more]

Shame. Think that might be the last straw for his time in GB. At this point I doubt he would be back ready to play beginning next season. We can use the 5 million cap savings if we let him go next year.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Yeah I was thinking the fact that the injury this late, probably means (at best), he's coming back mid season next year. I'm not sure, but I think releasing him would be a 6.75 million savings. But having him stick around for when our starting OL is injured next year might be worth it... assuming he can get fully healthy be then.

His salary next year would have been 8.35m. Would have to escalate 2 years of SB totaling 3.2m so a 5.15M savings next year. But also we would save the full 8.35 in 2019 also.

You put the dead cap into one year, I spread it out over the final two years (which I think the rules used to say teams had to pay the dead cap off within two years, but I'm not sure about that and I don't know if that's the current rules).

I never wanted this guy and was especially disappointed we gave him that last contract. This is why Hayward didn't get his money...he wasn't reliable, oh, and we drafted two guys so we wouldn't have to.

Bulaga was a major injury risk I didn't feel worthy of taking. I'd be curious to count the games he missed since his last contract. I believe it was money not well spent. ***I counted and posted in edit below***

Not happy he's hurt but glad we can move on from him. Spriggs is back...gulp...maybe he can round into form even though that seems unlikely.

That's a big cap win that might be important should we have a new GM running things after this season.

EDIT: Not sure why anyone is posting he wouldn't be back until mid season next year? Texans expect Deshaun Watson will be ready for training camp. He'd be back in plenty of time. I'd cut bait but if Ted's around he'll probably be back unless Spriggs really impresses.

EDIT II: Just looked. Bulaga missed 4 regular season games in 2015, and will only play 5 games for us this season, so, 11 games missed in 2017. He did play the entire season in 2016. So, that's 4 games 2015 + 11 games 2017 = 15 games missed over a 3 year span not including playoffs. In essence, he got paid for 3 seasons but played 2. Money not well spent on the extension.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Brian Bulaga, GB's Right Tackle, is again injured. This time that injury is very serious. IMO, it is time to be practical and find a new starting RT. At the same time honoring Bulaga's deal with GB .

dfosterf (27-Mar) : Does anyone know what Lambeau field improvements got put on hold? My guess would be for the 2025 draft
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.

Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : NFL 2024 gonna start Sept 5th isn't it???
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Ugh... kids these days!

dfosterf (27-Mar) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
dfosterf (27-Mar) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (27-Mar) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Yeah, challenge until you are incorrect twice.
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
