2. Bryan Bulaga

Bryan Bulaga has been one of the most enigmatic Packers in recent memories. When he’s healthy and on the field, he’s one of the more underrated right tackles in the game. He’s good in pass protection and can get the job done in the run game as well.

Unfortunately, he’s struggled with injuries throughout most of his career. He only missed two games last season, but missed 11 the year before. He’s in the last year of a five-year, $33.75 million contract and this could be his last in the green and gold. On the other hand, don’t rule out an extension if Green Bay can get a lower price.

1. Mike Daniels

Mike Daniels has been a stable force along the Packers’ defensive line for a long time now. He plays with passion and is the heart and soul of that unit. That’s why Green Bay should try to bring him back after this season.

Even though Daniels has been passed by Kenny Clark as the lead dog, he’s still a valuable contributor. Yes, he is 30-years-old now and his best football is likely behind him. However, he can slide into a more complementary role moving forward which could best suit both parties.
