Packers Sign DL Letroy Guion

[SMBASS]

@TyDunne: #Packers sign another. Guion's agent... RT @thkleine14 Extremely happy for Troy Guion on agreeing to terms with the @packers.

26 yr. old ex-Vike was signed by the Packers to a 1 year deal today. Haven't seen any contract details yet. Guion was released last week.

@RobDemovsky: Guion's deal is for 1 year, could be worth up to $1 million. Base of $730K. SB of $100K plus weekly roster bonuses, per a source. #Packers

Since the Vikes had cut him, he won't factor into the comp picks for next year's draft. Always a consideration where TT is concerned. I kinda see this guy going the way of Philip Merling. Camp body and then gone at the final cutdown.

he's not a fat guy...6'4" 303 lb.

no, but a real nice size for a 3-4 DE

RASTAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

INFO PLEASE

[SMBASS]

Really don't know anything about him. 6-4 and 303 lbs. sounds like a good 5-tech DE sized guy. Maybe the C.J. Wilson experiment is finally over with?

its a very low risk signing . you bring in a young guy with the right measurements and see if he can play

maybe camp fodder, but maybe he works out. we're not paying much to find out

good signing imo

How many DL do the Packers have under contract now? Seems like a bunch!

Letroy Guion was the lowest rated defensive lineman on the team by Pro Football Focus

maybe the kid just needs to change teams and schemes?

[smuggler]

Jolly isn't even signed yet. :O

[gbgary]

started 13 games for min last year. should be more than camp fodder.

from pff

Letroy Guion was always miscast as a nose tackle in the 4-3 Minnesota has been using, and the team could save $4M by jettisoning his $4.3m salary this offseason (per overthecap.com). Maybe he would have more joy in Mike Zimmer’s new defense, but the Vikings would be better off clearing his contract and bringing him back afresh to find out.

they ranked him as a below average starter/adequate role player
