Packers Reportedly Not Reaching Out to Bryan Bulaga's Agent is Concerning
By Brendan Balsamo
Bryan Bulaga started all 16 regular season games for the Green Bay Packers in 2019 and, although he missed the NFC Divisional Round against the Seattle Seahawks due to injury, he started in the NFC Championship against the San Francisco 49ers.
However, as shown by the lack of movement on the Packers' end, it seems as though there's very little interest from Green Bay to bring Bulaga back for 2020.
Following the breadcrumbs...the Packers have clearly spoken with Austin Hooper's representation, but haven't reached out to Bryan Bulaga's. Have to wonder if bringing Bulaga back is a lower priority than we assume.

Rumors have circulated the Packers have shown a lot of interest in Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper. Could signing the standout TE and letting Bulaga leave town be in the cards?
With the 2020 NFL Draft having a weak tight end class, but a strong offensive tackle class, Green Bay could look to go with a big-bodied hoss early in the draft.
This TE class in the draft looks really bad, but it's really strong at OT and WR. Makes some sense for the Packers to solve TE by adding Hooper and then address OT/WR in the draft.

Although it might be sad to see Bulaga's decade-long career with the Packers come to a close, it looks to be the smart move for the Packers to make. We'll have to wait and see what the front office decides to do.
