Top five offensive tackles for Redskins to target in 2020 NFL free agency

Now, we’re getting into guys that could be long-term plug-and-play starters. Or at least players that should have the potential to do that.

Bryan Bulaga has long been one of the better tackles in the NFL. He has been one of the unsung heroes on the Packers offensive line and the former 2010 first-round pick out of Iowa has done a great job of keeping the Packers offense moving. Along with David Bakhtiari, they are one of the league’s better tackle tandems.

Bulaga, 31 on Saturday, is one of the league’s best run blockers at right tackle. He has long been a road-grader at that position and while he does give up a handful of sacks each season, he blocks well enough to give Aaron Rodgers to make downfield throws. Sometimes, Rodgers just freelances a bit much which leads to some of the sacks Bulaga allows.

One concern with Bulaga is his overall health. He is constantly nicked up and while he is usually able to play, he has had to exit games early, on occasion. He has played at least 12 games in five of the past six seasons, but often, he has been less than 100 percent. Still, he gives his all when on the field and he was still a difference-maker, even when he was less than 100 percent.

If the Redskins were to target Bulaga, it would likely signal the end of Moses’ time with the ‘Skins. Maybe the team would try to flip him to the left side, but it seems more likely that they’d waive him as a post-June 1 cut to get rid of his salary. That makes the idea of signing Bulaga unlikely, but his talent level is simply that much higher than the second-tier guys on this list.

Bulaga isn’t likely to join the ‘Skins. But they should at least reach out to him if they are considering adding a veteran target.
