Apparently, now it is official. The Green Bay Packers have re-signed right tackle Bryan Bulaga to a new five-year deal that will pay him slightly less than $7 million per season.
For #Packers OT Bryan Bulaga, it’s a 5-year deal worth an average of just under $7M per year, source said.

The full details of the contract are five years for $33.75 million, which is an average of $6.75 million per season.
That figure would seem to suggest, like Randall Cobb, Bulaga took less to remain in Green Bay and chase a championship.
With Jacksonville overpaying for Jermey Parnell (five years, $32 million), it was expected that Bulaga could possibly get $8 million annually and would at least get $7 million annually.
And he probably would have — somewhere else.
As it is, Bulaga is still among the highest-paid right tackles in the game. He’ll come in behind Indianapolis’ Gosder Cherilus’ $7 million annual salary and ahead of San Francisco’s Anthony Davis’ $6.64 million annual salary.
excellent. welcome back.
Very good. This guy is the real deal.
Sew-up the RT position for a half decade.
Glad to see lots of loyalty being extended this offseason, not just from the players but the suits as well, in the case of Randall Cobb. That Seattle debacle seems a more and more distant memory all the time!
which seattle debacle? or maybe just simplify things: the whole west division debacle. they better have that as their core focus this year, as they play the entire W division at least one game each next season.
btw when was the last year that they got a single win against any W division team? [other than the fail mary game, which the fake refs won].
TT and Russ Ball deserve all sorts of credit for managing to bring back Cobb and Bulaga for entirely reasonable contracts. Both could have gotten more elsewhere.
Wow. Props.
Wow, awesome! With the new coaching changes this year…man if we can just stay healthy!
