Ricky Jean Francois Signs With Packers

They say Francois is better than his statistics show - what does that even mean? That he doesn't do much, but he looks good doing it? I'm lukewarm about this signing. Let's wait and see; Hopefully he will be a positive part of the rotation.

BTW, didn't Guion get $1 million a year? Based on that, $3 million for somebody not expected to be significantly better is not all that cheap.

Think Gilbert brown or Ryan picket or Santana Dotson. Those guys never had a ton of sacks or tackles, but they were damn good players

RJF is a run stuffer, he takes up blockers so others can make plays

Like a 3-4 lineman should do, he's gonna do the dirty work and make guys like clay, perry and bevis and butthead look better

Overall, tt has been the most successful gm in the NFC during his time with the Packers. But the Patriots are better and do use FA more. I think it's a positive change for Thompson. I think the people who wanted to see more free agents were right. I also would have taken tt over all the other GMs because they're just plain worse at winning. But I'm glad tt seems to have changed. Should be good for our SB chances!!

Guion got 1 million his first year with the Packers. He's been getting about 3.5 million since.

Guion has now been suspended twice with the Packers. If Francois isn't as stupid, that alone could make him an upgrade.

Good signing. A guy that plays his position and hold his ground, taking up blockers so the linebackers can make the play. Exactly how a 3-4 defense is played.
