Bryan Bulaga Signs 5-Year Contract With Packers

PrintMore good news this morning. Bryan Bulaga has come to contract terms with the Green Bay Packers, who drafted him 23rd overall in this year's draft. Spake ESPN:
The Green Bay Packers signed first-round draft pick Bryan Bulaga to a five-year contract on Friday worth $14.75 million, a league source tells ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
The deal carries $8.76 million in guaranteed money for Bulaga. With Bulaga's signing, every Green Bay rookie is under contract.
Incidentally, we don't really expect this contract to be carried through all five years. If Bulaga's a bust, Green Bay's not going to spend ~$3 million of non-guaranteed money in 2015. But if his career progresses as expected, with him starting by year 2 or 3, he's going to be far too valuable to the Packers (in his agent's eyes, anyway) to be earning only $3 million by that point; they'd renegotiate for plenty more money by then.
But that's all an issue for then and not now. Now, we celebrate for Bulaga, who has no more barriers to beginning what everyone hopes will be a long and productive NFL career in "The Windy Cheese City" (they call it that, right?).

Yeah, I just looked them up and they're Polish words.
At first glance, I thought he’d misspelled “Psycho” twice. Since they actually mean something (Pycha = Pride, and I couldn’t figure out the other), I deleted that part of the caption.

Pycha ("reesha")
It means “short-armed.”

From translate.google.com
Translate “sika pycha” from Polish
sika pycha – peeing pride
I really hope Sika has a different definition

Ok actually...
This article says that Bulaga’s tattoo says Sila which means strength.

According to Google...
“sika” in Finnish is “swine”. Is he half Finlanderer? Swine Pride? Almsot makes sense….
but yes, according to Google, sika in Polish is “peeing”
In the past 10 years, just four team owners have not paid a luxury tax and are not on pace to pay one this year: Donald Sterling, Jerry Reinsdorf, Chris Cohen (Golden State), Bob Johnson (Charlotte).
Two owners’ teams averaged an operating income of over +$10 million per year while their teams have lost over 60% of their games: Donald Sterling and Jerry Reinsdorf.
Bulaga is my new kampman
It’s always good to have a hawkeye on my pro team from titletown.
Just wish they would of kept hodge.

AHEM.
Prince will also be winning all the donut-eating contests in the state, I suspect:
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
He is a vegan.
So donuts are one of his food groups.

Being a Packer/Hawkeye fan...
This bodes well for me. And knowing the physical state of Green Bays offensive line, I would be willing to bet that he starts sometime THIS year. They have a left tackle that hasn’t played a full season in 3-4 years, and a right tackle that is iffy at best. He should pick up the offense pretty quick as they run a similar zone blocking scheme. With all that being said he probably won’t play a down and I’ll be left talking out the other side of my face.

Nice to see that he got
8.76 million guaranteed. Regardless of what happens, he should be set for life.
It never gets to be easy
Within two years of retirement,
78% of NFL players are bankrupt or in severe financial distress. Of course most of them are the league-minimum guys who are booted after 3 years. And what little I’ve heard of Bulaga talking, he seems like a reasonably smart guy….. which is what you would expect out of a white boy from Crystal Lake, IL.

Watch out for those brown boys from Crystal Lake, though.
They’re terrible. They hate money.

I have to assume that
it’s a combination of poor financial advice, and “living the lifestyle” of big everything and bling bling bling. I could be wrong, but I think he’s smarter than that.
I hope so, anyway

Part of it is also
The fact that NFL players only get paid during the season so they get a lot of money for a few months then go most of the year without income.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
I've been to Green Bay
I think it will be hard to spend that kind of money. It’s like Cedar Rapids, Only a little bigger.

Substitute paper mill odor for ADM/Quaker odor and you pretty much have it.
