The Packers have not confirmed the reports.

Green Bay placed a high priority on re-signing Bulaga, whom the team selected in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. Though hampered by injuries in 2011 and 2012, Bulaga won the starting job as a rookie and started for the Packers in their Super Bowl XLV victory.

He started 15 games last year after missing all of 2013 with a torn ACL. Bulaga has 48 career starts but has yet to start every game in a season. His contract is expected to be in the neighborhood of $7 million per season.

Bulaga is the latest player to decide to remain in Green Bay. Wide receiver Randall Cobb re-upped with the club over the weekend because he wants "to win championships." Earlier Tuesday, the Packers lost cornerback Davon House to Jacksonville. 

House made 14 starts in four injury-plagued seasons in Green Bay. His best season was 2013, when he played in all 16 games, started five and had 44 tackles with a sack and an interception.
