The Packers inability to re-sign their 2010 first-round pick and long-time starting right tackle Bryan Bulaga had to be a bitter pill to swallow for the organization, as they’ve placed their hopes on 30-year-old veteran Rick Wagner to replace the current San Diego Charger.
The Wagner acquisition has garnered a fairly positive — if not tepid — reception on the part of Packer supporters despite the fact that eighth-year pro is coming off his worst season with the Detroit Lions.
Wagner hit the proverbial jackpot in the spring of 2017, when he signed a five-year, $47.5 million contract to start for the Lions after spending his four previous seasons with the Baltimore Ravens.
