Bulaga Pay Cut

Impressive....I liked how he switched hands in the one highlight.

I wouldn't mind the Packers releasing Bulaga as he will most likely not be available for the beginning of the season meaning the team has to have a starter in place for week 1.

Hopefully either Spriggs has developed into a decent option or Gutekunst has addressed the position at that point.

I'm not understanding how you can cut a guy on IR without him being able to pass a physical and expect to not have some buyout clause activated.

The Packers could release Bulaga as long as no portion of his remaining salary is guaranteed in case of him suffering an injury.

I'd love to see him go for Earl Thomas, but I don't think that'd happen.

We give up our 2nd this season...and one of our first next year for Thomas??

Right. Just like Sam Shields. The Packers are only on the hook for the dead cap if Bulaga is released. I highly doubt there's an injury guarantee in Bulaga's contract. This is football; injury guarantees are uncommon.

Without such a guarantee, additional compensation for a released injured player is limited to injuries suffered in preseason. In that case, the team and player will have reached an settlement that pays the players medical expenses and salary for the projected duration of the injury.

I think Bulaga, although overpriced, for two years is worth a having Thomas for one year. I wouldn't give up picks for him and I don't think itd happen, but Seattle needs OL and we need a better backfield.

Ok, they can have Bulaga and HHCD for Thomas then haha

That would be a steep price for possibly a rental player for a year.

There are several star players who have guarantees for injuries included in their contracts. Thompson should be fired again if he agreed to such a deal with Bulaga though.

There's no way the Seahawks would be interested in that deal.

They are uncommon.
