While many of us were busy watching March Madness or doing something more productive with our weekends, Green Bay Packers GM was reportedly doing work. First came the news about Guion this morning, courtesy of Rob Demovsky: #Packers and Letroy Guion have reached an agreement on a 1-year deal, per a source. Expected to [...]

Good news for us. Give them both contracts that make them try and earn a bigger payday down the road.

Now Ted can deal with this position later in the draft and not be under the gun to find a starter amongst a bunch of unknowns.

I'm sure Texaspackfan is crying somewhere or poking a Ted Thompson voodoo doll, but ultimately we have 2 linemen on "prove it" contracts. We have enough eggs to throw against the wall, one has to stick.

IN fact, you could say he made that gamble last year, when we went into the season with Guion as our starter. Remember that year we had no RB and then Grant came out of nowhere? Or in '10 when Starks did the same thing. Ted isn't afraid to go into a season with bare cupboards at a given position.

Well, now that the deed is apparently is done, I guess I'll just have to be optimistic and hope Raji ain't the piece of shit I think he is. I also have never heard anything about Guion being lazy. There would, however, seem to be a good chance he is suspended for a few games. I've never heard of Pennell being considered lazy either.

As for Raji, I see this as not a year for him to prove he ain't a fat worthless lump, but either a preseason or maybe the first 4 or 6 regular games until Guion comes back if he is suspended. If Raji proves to be crap, hopefully he is cut loose when Guion is for sure available. Or maybe Raji will come through big time - yeah right hahahaha.

That's a lot of beef we can put in the middle when wanting to play the run. Will make the job of ILBers easier.
