PACKRULE Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I am not sure of how the cap numbers work but seeing Bug's got 30 over 3 makes me kind of pissy really that we didn't look to keep him. A dafted player that is better in everyway. How could we not find a way to save a few mil somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulaga has had BOTH his knees done, plus a hip. He turns 32 in a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossibleCabbage Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Bulaga is/was a warrior, but I 100% believe that the medicals weren't super encouraging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 We will miss Bulaga this coming season. Browns will like him. We will not miss Bulaga next season. Browns will no longer like him. Wish Brine Blaga could have won one more ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Bugs is and has always been a Packer. Hopeful the money is used somewhere else important. With that said I hope Gute is right on this one. You could trust Bugs in game AR didn’t need to look that way often. The new guy who knows. Is what it is though Bugs is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No....but we're a little tight on cash right about now and have considerable roster talent to consider going forward. An extended commitment to a (good) 32y/o RT.......? A bit of a stretch. We'll fill in with some more bodies later in FA and certainly in the draft. It was time to let him go IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s getting 11 Mil over two years. He’s half the price of Bulaga and we’re committed to him for one year less. And idk how good Wagner will be, but I also wouldn’t bet on Bulaga outplaying that contract, that’s for sure. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was t sure on the cap numbers from a straight number it seemed closer. With that said as I noted I hope it works. I remember the first year TT cheapened out on guards. Different story but still cheaper isn’t always better. Edited March 18, 2020 by PACKRULE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our online just got a bit worse in the short term. I get it the dollars are thin just sucks losing a premier tackle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think anybody's disagreeing with you....but....given the broader picture.....it was time. I failed to mention it in my post - but @ChaRisMa did in his - the Wagner commitment is a short one. The teams not done shoring up the OL talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our online just got a bit worse in the short term. I get it the dollars are thin just sucks losing a premier tackle. Losing Bulaga and replacing him with Wagner hurts us in the short term. But the biggest holes on our team last season were ILB and WR. If Gute uses the money he saves by going from Bulaga to Wagner to add more depth to the roster on the positions of need, it would be worth it. Our depth at the WR and TE position really scares me. Not that Jimmy Graham was as productive as he should have been but he still had over 1000 receiving yards over the last 2 seasons. Can Jace and Tonyan replace that production? Lazard showed flashes last year but is it enough to depend on him as our #2 WR? Rodgers is not the same QB he was 2+ years ago. He is still really good but we need to give him some help.
