Packers Restructured DE Letroy Guion’s Contract Following PED Suspension

Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports that the Packers signed DE Letroy Guion to a restructured contract following his recent four-game suspension for a PED violation.

According to Demovsky, this new agreement pushes Guion’s offseason roster bonuses that were due this Saturday and on May 2 back to Weeks 9 and 15 of the 2017 season.

Guion’s bonus has been reduced to $300,000 each from the previous total of $400,000. The Packers did, however, keep Guion’s $1.7 million base salary intact.

In total, the suspension will cost Guion $400,000.

Guion, 29, is entering the second year of his three-year, $11.25 million contract and stands to make a base salary of $1.7 million for the 2017 season with $800,000 available in roster bonuses.

In 2016, Guion appeared in 15 games for the Packers and recorded 30 total tackles and one pass defense. Pro Football Focus had him rated as the No. 63 interior defender out of 127 qualifying players.
