GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The five-year, $33.75 million contract that right tackle Bryan Bulaga signed Monday with the Green Bay Packers includes a significant amount of money tied into per-game roster bonuses.

As much as $3 million of that total will have to be earned by playing in each game. Given Bulaga's injury history -- he missed all of the 2013 season and half of 2012 -- it provides the Packers with some insurance.

Bulaga received an $8 million signing bonus, which was the only guaranteed money in the deal.

So if the contract details provided by Demovsky are correct and the numbers on Spotrac are accurate, Bulaga is 2nd amongst right tackles and 12th amongst all tackles in average annual contract value. However, he is 11th in total guaranteed money amongst right tackles and 34th in total guaranteed money amongst all tackles.

It looks like a very fair deal for the team and the player. I couldn't be happier.

I wonder how that's sittin' with Sitton?

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."

I thought you'd be thrilled with this type of deal. Low guaranteed money and lots of per game bonuses. Should ease your concerns over his injury history.

Gotta believe they don't think as much of Barclay and Tretter as I thought they did.

The whole who is the highest paid guy thing. Sitton has never been someone I've been overly high on, either, but I do think he's better than BB, and much more reliable. If Sitton feels he's better and he should, even though he plays a less premium position, he might think to ask for a raise.
