The Packers and defensive lineman Letroy Guion have reached an agreement in principle on a three-year deal worth $11.25MM, a league source tells Adam Caplan of ESPN.com (Twitter link). The new contract agreement will lock Guion up through the 2018 season, and keeps him from hitting the open market next month. He had been eligible [...]

Mine too Florida🤣

I had Guion figured for Frostee Rucker/alan Branch money less a bad boy discount.

Way to stick it to McSpinn and his faithful dog Cohen.

Just goes to show us that evaluation not stats determines who stays and who goes and for how much, well ahh er unless Ted Thompson didn't know where else to get his Ganja.

Will see when the details come out, but I can live with that contract for him. He seems to be better at getting pressure than Raji, where Raji is a better run stuffer IMO. Need to have good depth in the fat guys on the defense.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Frostee Rucker 67.1 2016 $2,159,375
Letroy Guioon 72.3 2016 $3,750,000
Alan Branch 77.4 2016 $2,150,000

Those grades are from ProFootballFocus. I only threw them up for curiosity sake beacuse I really haven't much opinion on the signing. If anything, maybe they gave a little extra because they know they are not bringing B.J. Raji (64.1 btw) back?

Gives us leverage on Raji's negotiation.

AFter all, Guion came in and got it done for a whole year when Raji popped his bicep. Plus there's Pennell in the mix.

Guion is a guy you have to fear giving money to. Most players give greater effort in a contract year and once they get their payday they pull back. Perhaps, that's what happened to Randall Cobb and he was of great character so money to LeTroy is far riskier.

Makes me wonder if this will negate taking a DL high in the draft. I was expecting Guion gone and a highish pick on the DL not that we've had great success taking guys high up there so maybe this is insurance against another miss up there.

I don't believe this is leverage for Raji... I think it means BJ is done.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

This deal doesn't bother me a bit. 3.5 mil a year may seem a lot given the way salaries tend to increase over time, but it's probably going to be about the going rate for a non-starter multiple-position/front DL that gets a lot of reps.

I'd rather they pay this to Guion than to Raji. Now if they end up signing Raji for similar/a bit more, then I'll probably be a bit bothered -- since the combination of signings would tell me they are more or less content with what they have.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

I still think we get a Raji deal done and we draft a DL later in the draft unless the value is extremely high at an earlier part in the draft.

I thought the DL improved quite a bit this year. We held some great runners to pretty mediocre games.

The Packers are 25th in salary cap dedicated to the defensive line so I really don't think the Packers went overboard here. I suppose being a 3 - 4 defense also contributes to that because I think more than half the teams in the NFL are running 4 - 3.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Tua’s old DC won a Super Bowl Year 1 with Tua’s former backup

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : *winning MVP

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (10-Feb) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (10-Feb) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
