Brett Favre, Greg Jennings and many others have gone from Green Bay to Minneapolis in their NFL Journey, and the results have been mixed.
Now, Packers offensive tackle Bryan Bulaga is entering free agency, and he seems like he wants to re-sign with Green Bay. However, the Packers could always go for a tackle they like in the draft and move on.
Bleacher Report recently listed tackle as Minnesota’s weakest link and suggested signing Bulaga in free agency.
So, if Bulaga is somehow available, would he be a good fit for the Vikings? Stylistically, the answer is yes.
Bulaga is a good pass protector, and Minnesota’s strength on the offensive line is run blocking. Bulaga gave up just four pressures in two games against Danielle Hunter, per Pro Football Focus. He also didn’t allow a sack.
Adding Bulaga and putting him at left tackle could greatly help the offensive line. The team could then cut Riley Reiff to save money and possibly re-sign talent on the defense. Kirk Cousins improved in his second year with the Vikings, but imagine what he could become if he had Brian O’Neill and Bulaga at the tackles?
