Packers sign Letroy Guion

Per Rotoworld:

Packers agreed to terms with DT Letroy Guion, formerly of the Vikings.
Miscast as a nose tackle in Minnesota, Guion struggled mightily in each of the past two seasons. He should get more freedom with Green Bay, playing more of a disruptive role off the bench. 27 in June, Guion managed 21 tackles and a sack in 13 starts last year. He'll compete for playing time in sub-packages.

Don't know much about this guy. Is there anything that he does well?

Do you know which he's better at, against the run or pass?

Looks like a typical DT type player. Not a fullsize Raji NT, but not a DE either. Hard to have to many 300+ lbers.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Another 4-3 player. Vikings fans don't think much of him, but like the article says -- he was miscasted.

I'm indifferent about the signing, but considering New England showed interest it gives me some confidence. Say what you want about that team, but Bill Belichick knows how to build a roster and all his players know their roles.

Question: Does anybody know for sure, regarding Raji's $4 million contract, what if this guy Guion or somebody else greatly outshines him in the preseason? Can the Packers cut Raji without liability? Or is his salary guaranteed?

Guess that moves dline to the bottom of the draft needs list. Peppers, Daniels, Jones, Raji, Boyd, Guion and Worthy.

Edit: On second thought, that moves dline more to the middle of the pack on draft priorities.

He still has to make the team. But he deserves a shot imo.

Martha Careful (4h) : RIP Packer Safety Tim Brown

beast (22h) : Yeah, but also some of the wording suggestions Jax only pranked called the QB, not the others... and if he had an open spreadsheet & 3 calls

beast (22h) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him

Mucky Tundra (22h) : that contained all prospects info and contact

Mucky Tundra (22h) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something

Zero2Cool (23h) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.

beast (23h) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot

beast (23h) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.

Martha Careful (27-Apr) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?

beast (27-Apr) : It's not official until I'm dead! I have a chance still! (Not really)

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : I could feel my body decomposing in real time when I read that

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : @MIKEYSAINRISTIL Tyler Shough will officially be the last person drafted to the NFL born in the 1900’s

Mucky Tundra (26-Apr) : saw the tweet, he meant the city

Mucky Tundra (26-Apr) : Was that for the team or the city?

Zero2Cool (26-Apr) : Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter · 3m Draft grade is in: Green Bay gets an A. The people, the city, the venue were all superb. NFL Draft’s next

TheKanataThrilla (26-Apr) : Sam Howell to Vikings...guess no Aaron

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Agree

dfosterf (26-Apr) : Great idea imo

dfosterf (26-Apr) : 1st round to 7 minutes with one extension

dfosterf (26-Apr) : NFL comissioner wants to shorten the 2st

Mucky Tundra (26-Apr) : @jalenreagors They’re discussing if Sheduer can go back to college on NFL Network LMFAOOOOO

beast (26-Apr) : Great point Martha

beast (26-Apr) : Buddy Ryan used to say if a candy bar goes missing, there are two to blame, Rex and Rob 🤪 jk 😁

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Bum Phillips used to say there are two ways to get better. Get better players or get players to play better. We have a new DL coach

Zero2Cool (26-Apr) : Yes. Look at the losses last year. They can win.

beast (26-Apr) : Can Packers win with their current DL?

bboystyle (26-Apr) : waiting for a pass rusher.

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 5 minutes between picks in the 3rd

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 3rd. Hate this phone

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 4rd

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 5 minutes in the 4

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 7 minutes between picks in the 2nd round

Martha Careful (25-Apr) : Sorry to bitch, but the headline writers in that section absolutely mislead, or don't know how to read. It is maddening

Martha Careful (25-Apr) : No thanks. Not a dependable guy to be in the right place and run the right route. Dumb as a box of rocks.

Zero2Cool (25-Apr) : Losing 2nd round pick for a one year rental, not ideal. Especially a headcase.

TheKanataThrilla (25-Apr) : Pickens for Jaire may be interesting. Definitely not sure we want Pickens long term.
