Yep Sitton had one good year in Chicago and hit the wall quick after that with injuries. Also Lang too he got big money in Detroit and injuries really took him out too. But really outside of Rodgers the Packers are not known to go and hand out 3rd contracts to players because of the huge risk of injury and age to them.

Agree, and that likely means that Daniels will be leaving soon as well.

Only current OL I can see very willingly give a third contract too will be Bak as his contract expires after 2020 and you don't let top LT walk out the door.
