    Just from listening to KFAN up here they like him. Not a terribly great player but he does not NEED to be smart, Pat Williams could speak English but he was a great fat bodied player.

    I like the signing.
    Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

      Contract terms per GBPG:

      Defensive lineman Letroy Guion’s one-year contract with the Packers will pay him $985,000, according to a report by USA Today.

      Guion received a $100,000 signing bonus and will make a base salary of $730,000. He also will make per-game roster bonuses of up to $105,000 and a workout bonus of $50,000.
      His base salary is the vet minimum for him, but I don't think his contract qualifies for the salary cap offset because his bonuses are too high. Looks like the entire amount will count against the Packers salary cap if he makes the final roster.

        DT Newly acquired Letroy Guion's ( 2013 - Minny ) received a 1 yr. contract for (up to $1 million) and a $100 K$ signing bonus, per ESPN's Rob Demovsky.

        B. J. Raji agreed to a 1 Yr. contract worth $4 million and is expected to be moved to NT.

        It might be then projected that if he makes the roster Letroy Guion could backup BJ Raji), and/or be a rotational player on the DL.


        Letroy Guion started all 28 games that he appeared in for the club over the past two seasons (2012-13), posting 72 tackles (32 solo), three sacks, 1 FF, 2 PD, and a fumble recovery.

        DT Letroy Guion ( Cost maximum $1 million$) ... 2013 - 21 total tackles, 1 SACK , 1 FF and 1 PD.



        Compared to :


        BJ Raji in 2012-13...in 28 games posted 43 tackles ( 13 solo), ZERO SACKS, ) 0 FF and 2 PD

        DT B. J. Raji ( Cost minimum $4 Million$) ... 2013 - 17 total tackles and 'No SACKS for two season's and counting; 0 FF; 0 PD.

          Based on his build and what people are saying about his play, he looks far more like a 5-tech than a nose tackle to me.

            Vikings always have solid DL. This is a sweet low risk move.

            I think TT wants to go out with a SuperBowl trophy and a middle finger to all his doubters.

              It'd be sweet if they won it this year, and TT held the SB trophy so his middle finger was sticking up.

              My prediction is that we'll know he's retiring when he amasses two or three high-round extra picks for the following year. That means he's gonna bestow those picks on his successor, as a parting gift.

              Not like Shermy, who left a sal cap mess for his successor.

              Good, solid coach, ol' Shermy. Mostly. I liked his offensive philosophy. But as a GM, he was about as good as Bart Starr. Maybe worse.
