Packers Lock Down Bulaga, Bring Full Team to Training Camp

The Green Bay Packers signed rookie offensive tackle Bryan Bulaga to a five-year deal on Friday morning. The deal is worth $14.75 million over those five years, with $8.76 million in guaranteed money.

With training camp kicking off this morning, the Packers have all of their players, including all seven draft picks, under contract. (Last year B.J. Raji didn't sign until 2 weeks of camp were over.

“It’s important for young players to be in camp on time," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said during his pre-training camp news conference on Friday. “The practice time, the meeting time, those are days you just can’t get back. You see it time and time again when players miss because of contract negotiations, they fall behind.”
