Some guys, when they're this close to free agency, are going to need to be blown away to keep from doing it.  Bulaga may be one.  Why not?  He's the top tackle on the market, a pretty premium position and if he waits a month he can find out what that's worth to the highest bidder of 32 teams.  Bulaga has all the leverage right now.  I can't assume at this point that he'll stick around for what seems to be a reasonable offer.While I certainly want Bulaga back, if he's not, I've got plenty of confidence that one way or another,  the Packer offensive machine will keep on rolling.</blockquote>
