I like this.

 

[PackerDNA]

I give it a thumbs up.
Follow it up with Guion's release, and I ll give it two thumbs up.

 

[AmishMafia]

I like him. Good mid level signing.

 

[thisisnate]

Big thumbs up here

 

[brandon2348]

This is actually a good signing.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

LOL......These are the kinds of signings you expect from TT and will calm most of us down.....for about an hour.

Keep Guion, he's not breaking the bank and he adds another experienced body to the line in case an injury happens. I'd rather throw him in as a replacement than some rookie.

I gave you 1 thumb already

If we're talking being surprised, then for the next one I'd like would be Blount.

 

[brandon2348]

Keep Guion!. Need this type of depth all across the roster.

My my. A position that was light just got 313lbs heavier. Reading between the lines it's looking like we're gonna go after upgrades at LB and CB in the draft.

If we sign that o-lineman from the Titans, Bell, we should be set up very nicely for the draft. Ted just has to hit on our picks.

 

[Dantés]

Good signing. He's really a backup given that the Packers' base is nickel. He's a quality player as a reserve and an excellent compliment to a young, passing down guy like Lowry.

 

[Arthur Squires]

Good pickup for depth. He should play well vs the run game for us. Ralph Green from Indiana would be a guy we should draft in rounds 6-7 for extra depth!

There are a few giants rated in the second half the draft. We still need a young stump to replace Pennell...

something tells me it might be kind of entertaining to be in a room with ricky and martellus

I am hoping that not resigning peppers or Jones marks the transition back closer to a traditional 3-4.... I respect the vision capers and Co had. But I am a huge dline fan, and the 2-4-5 really doesn't pay enough attention to the trenches imo. It always seems to become apparent when the great teams play us.

 

[kevans74]

He could spot start honestly...

I'm fine with a rotation of Ricky/Daniels/Clark/Guion/Worthy...

He has a somewhat similar body to BJ I would presume

that rotation on DL is pretty solid i think

 

[armand34]

This definitely helps and I agree with that comment of our nickel package. I'm tired of seeing teams run all over us with 2 man front, I'd like to see a transition to more bigger bodies up front.

Yes sir. I like the idea of filling these holes and then going after high impact players in the draft that fit our greatest need. DEFENSE. In particular LB and CB. It may be wise to trade a future draft pick or mid rounder to go after 3 starting level players by close of day 2

 

[ThePerfectBeard]

Seriously though, this guy's new nickname has to be "Frenchy".

Draft TJ Watt and then best corner available
