Agent says that T.J. Lang "is thrilled to be in Green Bay. He really wanted to be with the Packers." Now, he, Sitton and Bulaga locked up.

Interesting, it will be interesting to learn how much he got and how they structured the deal.
Who is next on the Packers list Mathews, Raji,or Rodgers?

that's great! solid center of the line locked up for a few years.
Great news. Ascending player. Protect your franchise with who's in front of him. Rodgers has to be pretty happy about this as well.
Awesome.
So much for not valuing the G position.

I wonder if they think he can move over to center after Saturday hangs up his cleats.
Rodgers probably demanded that TT extend his guards. We will find out when Rodgers is forced out of GB.
TJ is going to see some work at left tackle before you know it...
Very good news

Rodgers is a flash in the pan, let him walk.
I know that's the plan right now, but if it's the regular season I think they try that for about 2 games before Bulaga moves over to the left and Lang goes to right tackle. It's still uncomfortable with Newhouse over there and if it gets down to Lang I don't think he's technical enough to stay consistent. He's a good mauler/nasty guy and if he's going to play one of the tackles I'd rather it be on the right side where Rodgers can keep an eye out for when his pass protection gets sloppy and still know his blind side is covered by Bulaga.quote:Originally posted by Rags:

Jennings. Supposedly already in talks with his agent about an extension.

Lang came in 3rd for the X4 voting of "who gets signed next"
and El Ka Bong with an omniscient call on James Starks...

Sorry Derps you are right I am bad.

Not sure the view was to not "value" the position, just never overspend at that position.
No details on the dough yet...
Good signing and now it's on to Jennings. Not sure what the talk of Bulaga/Lang at LT is all about. Barring injury, Newhouse is the LT and both AR and MM appear comfortable with him there.
quote:Barring injury
Key words. Newhouse has been out with a concussion. If he goes down again and it's the regular season, MM isn't going to throw Datko, Taylor or whoever else out there at LT. Lang will probably kick outside and EDS will come in to play G.
Don't you mean a fart in a windstorm?quote:Originally posted by derps:quote:Originally posted by turnip blood:

Saw at PackerUpdate:
That's a pretty solid deal for an ascending young LG.
quote:UPDATE: According to Tom Silverstein, Lang’s four-year extension is worth $20.8 million and includes a $5.5 million bonus. As I predicted weeks ago, that’s almost exactly what Evan Mathis got from the Eagles in March.

Great news!! Guard is going to be a key position to winning the Division for the next few seasons. We are locked and loaded.
Nice signing especial since Lang can also play Tackle. With today’s NFL concussion rules depth along the O-line is looking to be very important.
After watching some pre season games it looks as thought next (and this) years a bunch of teams will be desperately looking for O-line help. The market for any O-linemen will be a sellers market.

@WesHod
Lang's contract talks began 5 or 6 weeks ago. "I was ready to take the first deal, but of course my agent had to explain some things to me"
Did not know his agent was Hauser.
@WesHod
Lang said 1st thing he wants to buy a house for his mom, Lynn, and his younger brothers. "She’s one of the hardest working ladies I know"
Good guy... Up and down 2011, lost his dad last year and his son was born.

quote:“I've never been a money guy,” said Lang, who endured plenty of razzing from his offensive linemates Tuesday – including right guard Josh Sitton, whose extension last year was more lucrative than Lang’s. “Honestly, I was kind of nervous looking through the deal because that's more money than I've ever seen or could ever imagine. Just continue to have my focus on improving as a left guard and as a better teammate – that’s what my focus is on now.”
I love that Ted was able to upgrade from Colledge for less than it would have cost to keep him.
In D&D I trust. (Draft and Develop, not Dungeons & Dragons.)

Colledge was soft as tissue paper and I agree it was a significant upgrade.

So Nelson and Lang take less to stay in Green Bay.......nice work TT. He's built the right culture and drafts the right guys to be able to do this. The money likely saved on Nelson and Lang's deals are probably enough to extend another young player.
I'm interested to see what Rodgers signs for. His personality makes me think he'll take $15m a year, but hard to pass up the $20m a year he's worth. Same with CMIII. Both those guys seem more concerned with winning than money.
