More promising: The chance that nose tackle Letroy Guion will be back in a Packers uniform has increased after he agreed to a deferred prosecution deal resulting in probation, his attorney confirmed Wednesday.
If Guion completes his probation, attorney Robert Rush said, felony firearm and marijuana possession charges against him will be dropped and he will have a clean record. Rush expects the agreement to be signed within the next two weeks.
On Feb. 3, Guion was arrested in his hometown of Starke, Fla., with 357 grams of marijuana, a registered (unloaded) gun and $190,028.81 in cash.
News of the deferred prosecution was first reported by ESPN.com.
Still, it should be noted that the state attorney's office in Florida says they have yet to officially enter any agreement with Guion, per spokesman Darry Lloyd.
"We have formally charged Guion with Possession of Cannabis more than 20 grams," Lloyd wrote in an email.
Rush said the seizure of Guion's 2015 Dodge Ram truck and the money is a separate civil case. Those remain in police custody after a court ruled that police had probable cause.
"There was no allegation that he was selling (marijuana)," Rush said. "My intent is to work everything out and get everything resolved.
"I'm really impressed with how nice of a young man he is. I want to get him back to Green Bay exciting the fans."
Guion, 27, still could be punished by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell under the personal conduct policy.
