Defensive tackle Letroy Guion was arrested earlier in the offseason for possession of a firearm and 357 grams of marijuana, so it delayed his opportunity to sign a new deal as a free agent.

He experienced a breakout season with the Green Bay Packers in 2014 with a career-high 3.5 sacks, and he has re-signed with them to a one-year deal after receiving interest from the Seattle Seahawks.
He will receive $2.75 million in his new deal, according to ESPN. This is a raise from his 2014 deal, which was worth $1 million.
Guion filled in as the Packers’ starting nose tackle after B.J. Raji went down with a season-ending bicep tear.
While their run defense struggled early in the season, the Packers finished 23rd in the NFL after being last in the middle of the season.
Guion will likely receive a suspension in the upcoming season, but he will not face any jail time after pleading no contest and accepting a $5,000 fine.
ESPN Packers writer Rob Demovsky announced Guion re-signing on Twitter.
#Packers and Letroy Guion have reached an agreement on a 1-year deal, per a source. Expected to be signed by tomorrow.
