No reason to talk until the NFL gets involved and suspends him. It's idealistic to think the Packers are going to take the moral high ground on a player that is crucial to the defense right now. If he was a 3rd stringer, maybe he gets cut, but for now, he's going to remain a part of this team. No Packers fans are going to drop their season tickets over this, viewers are going to stay tuned into this addiction we call the NFL.

I'm pretty sure that backup DT won't be a topic of discussion at Media Day.

I personally think no comment is the right move here. I don't think anyone at 1265 think Guion is an angel. But at the same time all of the new information in that article is old stuff, from before he was even a Packer.
I'm not saying whether he did or didn't do the things alleged in the article. All I'm saying is that the Packers should avoid this completely. I'm sure they're hoping (and since it's all old info, they're probably right) that this will go away if they ignore it enough.
Hopefully the bad press and extra attention will force Guion to take a closer look at what he's done and get his head out of his ass and stop doing these things. It's never OK to hit someone else if you can walk away, especially a woman. He has enough $ now to walk away and not be involved in this stuff any more, hopefully he makes better decisions in the future.

I'm fully confident that If Guion was presently playing a prominent roll on either the New England Patriots or Dallas Cowboys team, they would immediately send them packing.

Everyone knows winning is a secondary consideration in the NFL. Just look around the league and it's obvious that character and moral conduct is the number one consideration.

YEAH!

While his actions were morally reprehensible, all but the weed and HIS playoff cash and HIS gun in HIS truck happened in 2011-2012. Was he declared guilty? No. He pleaded out and no charges were filed.

Leave the guy alone. IF he messes up again, THEN you fire him. Not before. While not everyone has made the caliber of mistakes that Guion has, everyone has made mistakes. If someone holds something I did 4 years ago up to my face as a reason that I should be fired and I was not convicted for said mistake in a court of law, you'd bet I'm running straight to my lawyer (or I'd get one).

The NFL has no jurisdiction here and the Packers and Guion and the NFLPA knows it. Let the man live his life. Just make sure it doesn't happen again.

It is interesting argumentation, Cory. So, if I understood correctly, if you ever made mistake of domestic violence you are (by your interpretation) not eligible to play any sports ever for any team? Hmmm... I have to admit that I'm one very high on idea that domestic violence would and should be punished everywhere much harder and firmer than it is today. But that is something what makes you careful when you are talking about someones guilt. I know a lot of situation when girl in fear of her parents accuse some guy that he rape her? Or accuse some guy who has money that he is rapist with idea to collect money! And that is what happened with this jaw punch of Letroy Guion. Do you really expect that guy like Guion punch helpless woman in her jaw and do not cause any heavy consequences (like concussion, broken jaw or even worse injuries)? That happened to her boyfriend. Guion was much younger then, so he might learn his lesson from that time. If he did not repeat that I think it shows he understood that was wrong. Next, regarding drug issue. As I understood there is suspicion that Letroy is drug dealers investor. Where is police? Is there enough evidence for that? If yes, why they do not arrest Letroy. If not, why they are giving that information to the public? One policeman says one thing, another says another thing. completely opposite from the first one.
And JSO... Is those reporters or Historians. Maybe Letroy have another felony when he was 5 years old. Are you so firm regarding Letroy because you were stealing chocolate bars from your supermarket when you were 7 years old... Or maybe some old toy car from your friend when you were 8?
And why this story is important now. Why they did not "research" this when Letroy was arrested? It looks to me that than was the time for the story about youth sins, not now...

I'm a life long fan and season ticket holder but even I know that the whole "Packer Way" thing is a load of PR crap. The NFL is only about winning and, more importantly, the benjamins. Only when these bad actors lose their ability or somehow cut into the revenue streams do they get cut.

Why "must" they address Guion?? This crap happened 3-4 years ago. His recent stuff has been addressed by the NFL and the courts. The guy may be a stalker scum bag but until he does something while a member of the GBP (which he never has, FA in summer 2015) then I believe the NFL's punishment from this past summer are plenty of addressing and the Packers can address current events...

What a load of crap. If you want a babysitter, hire a nanny. If you want an NFL general manager, hire Ted Thompson. As for me, I'm pretty satisfied with the mythical "Packer Way" just as it is.

The news about Guion's domestic violence is disturbing.
The reaction thus far by Packer management is disappointing but we should give them the benefit of the doubt as they may be conducting their own due diligence on the domestic violence issues and/or they may have received legal counsel to remain quiet. The problem with remaining quiet is that if you don't tell people the story they will create their own. My question is how were the domestic counts adjudicated? Was the case dropped? Let's face it, if the NFL will allow AP back in the league after whipping his 4 year old child with a switch what can they possibly do to Guion 4 years after the fact? I don't see the point of the Packers doing much about it now either. For the team this is an unfortunate distraction at this time in the season. For Guion it may be signs of an on going pattern of criminal behavior given his recent arrest in Florida during the off-season. Let him play out his contract and release him at the end of the season assuming that Guion can keep himself out of trouble between now and then. Thanks, Since '61

This should not be a discussion about whats legal and that he wasn't convicted. Rich people can always find ways to not get convicted if they do it right.

But as fans we have to stop pretending there is such a thing as the "Packer Way". We have to stop ever being holier than thou and after seeing someone mess up on another team we can't say "well the Packers would never have someone like HIM on their team". Because we have our own woman beating drug dealer on the team and our main concern as fans seems to be whether he's playing well or not.

I have never wanted athletes or other famous people to be role models. But at the same time cheering for this pile of human dirt makes me feel a bit queasy.

"And let’s not forget that a majority of these guys are coming from pretty rough backgrounds as well."

This is what makes my skin crawl as it consistently is used for a defense of an action that is not condoned for the majority to do but an almost auto reprieve for an NFL player and even more so depending on player talent level.

Aren't there enough ' PC Cards' in the pockets one can pull out as for defense of a crime.

The NFL has already survived the tidal wave of Domestic Violence in the minds of those that matter...the fans.The 'loophole' for the NFL being the court didn't find Hardy guilty,though he paid off the victim,was enough to change the punishment to a hand slap and then found it of dire need to suspend Brady for longer over an amount of air that no one could feel if it were poofed directly in their face from any means,less the arse as only its odor would conclude air actually came into contact.How and why AP is back and Rice isn't is befuddling except that seeing is believing with Rice(video) and only seeing the marks done by AP is the rule changer,even though an adult could more defend their self against another adult than a 4 year old could ever achieve.

The outrage and accusations of Brady being a 'cheater with air' was more about hating a 'winner' than 'prosecuting' those already shown as losers.

Even the October 'Breast Cancer Awareness' visible showing of support via the amount of pink wore by players has subsided greatly during the month week to week and wasn't close to the advertisement that had been witnessed in the recent years past.

The Packers may have at one time appeared to be of higher standard but recent events,more along the Quarless' incident by not suspending him and getting his court date over with in August,have now opted to use him,injury excluded,to their benefit as long as possible as his court date has been moved yet again for the third or fourth time,which would almost guarantee an end of season team decision regardless of the court decision.

The Packers are simply joining the thinking, the NFL doesn't really care and the majority of Packer fans won't care as long as we win.

I still contend Quarless should have been cut then and if Guion has committed domestic violence and regardless if the Packers just learned of it he should be cut asap.This would offer proof of the existence of the 'Packer Way' if that way is what had been assumed all these years.

You can really only be 'different or above another' unless you act so regardless of the loss that may be incurred by doing so.

What price for victory/glory? Condoning a crime that makes the powerful even more so...as long as your team wins.

Maybe the Vikings covered it up so the attention should be on them instead , if they knew and took no action then there is your story . They should then pay a penalty.

Adrian Peterson motto: "speak softly, but carry a big stick"

If there was ever a player who deserves to be thrown out on his butt, his name is Adrian Peterson.

Leave poor Guion alone.

WTF, we've been harping about how soft the Packers have been in the past. Not mean enough, finesse, now we have a mean bastard and he's to mean? Hopefully he punches Manning in the jaw Sunday night.

Alright, let's stop the bullshit right here.

Guion ALLEGEDLY struck his ex-girlfriend in the jaw. ALLEGEDLY. There wasn't enough EVIDENCE to charge him with it.

Guion DID strike her boyfriend in the face, and he needed to go get medical attention. So did his cousin whom he hit in the head in a different incident.

You mean to tell me Guion popped his ex-girlfriend in the jaw and she took the blow better than two full grown men did? You mean to tell me the police couldn't determine whether or not she had been struck in the face by a 325 lbs. man who plays professional football?

Let's not mention that a witness in the apartment complex stated to the police that Guion pushed his ex girlfriend and punched her boyfriend, but did not strike her.

Let's not mention that of the THREE domestic violence charges, Letroy Guion was listed as THE VICTIM of domestic violence in two of them.

Why the EFF do the Packers have to address something that happened to a current player that occurred 2 years before they signed him?

MM had it right, this article really is garbage.

There are two things we can be assured of which diverge from Mr. Jennerjohn's piece: a) the Packers, or any team investing more than chump change in a player, had full knowledge of Mr. Guion's alleged and known transgressions; and b) the Journal-Sentinel did not simply come up with the quotes, facts, comments, and analysis during the bye week alone.

If anything, the Thompson Way is the due diligence way. His budget well affords the ability to find out everything Mr. Cohen of the Journal-Sentinel found out. Packers management has known this article was coming for a long time.

One of the reasons why victims of domestic violence recant or minimize is the fear of the consequences to their families if they push forward. Look at the whole Ray Rice deal. We all know exactly what happened, but there was his wife on TV, talking to whoever would listen, begging that Rice be given a second chance to play in the NFL. And with millions of dollars on the line, why wouldn't she?

So here is what you have to ask yourself: Do people who commit crimes still deserve to work? Does you answer change depending on how much money they make? How much they can do for you? How public the job is? How likely they are to repeat as an offender?

At the end of the day Guion will never get a long-term deal with guaranteed money because no one will trust that he won't re-offend during the term of the contract. As long as he is currently not in jail he has a right to earn a living, and even then people get work release. The reduction in money and security is arguably punishment enough. Would I be mad if the Packers let him go at the end of the year? Nope. Would I be disappointed if they kept him? Yup. Does it change my general opinion of the Packers? No, because Guion has a right to work and the Packers have a right to hire him. It's their risk to manage.

While I am a little disturbed by the attitude I inferred (perhaps wrongly) from some commenters' posts above, in the end I have to agree that GB should not take any action against Guion based on the known facts.

I first read this on Profootballtalk and thought Guion should be cut ASAP. Then I reluctantly read the JSO article, and thought he should be cut. Then I read the links to the police reports in the article and changed my mind. JSO certainly did not give Guion the benefit of the doubt, but that is why I cancelled my subscription.

Stalking: The DA dismissed the charge due to insufficient evidence. A fair inference can be made that Guion texted a message which included a threat, but the recipient had also texted "argumentative" messages to Guion.

Battery/Cousin: There was a fight. 12 witnesses at the scene refused to give a statement to the police officer. The cousin initially accused Guion but the DA dropped the charges later when the Cousin refused to cooperate. I can't say who started this fight. I believe in the right of self-defense. It is not a crime for Guion to win the fight.

Battery/ex girlfriend/ex's boyfriend: This is a muddle imo. First, the ex per police reports has attacked Guion's current girlfriend and attacked Guion himself in the past. Naturally, JSO never states whether the ex was ever charged. Second, this allegedly happened at the girlfriend's apartment. If so, there might be a number of good reasons for Guion to be there, like he was picking up his daughter. Guion allegedly was revving his car's engine, and this caused the ex and her current boyfriend to come out to "confront" Guion. We don't know if Guion was revving his engine, or whether he did so because he was picking up his daughter and the ex was late in producing her. The ex and her boyfriend "confronted" Guion, from which one might infer that they came outside angry, instead of staying inside and just calling the police (which seems prudent given the history of incidents btw the ex and Guion). I can't judge the credibility of the boyfriend (who came out to confront Guion in the first place and I wonder whether he has a criminal record?) or of the witness who lived in the apartment complex. The ex has little or no credibility in my eyes. Guion allegedly pushed the ex down to the ground, and when she got up hit her in the jaw (but the police did not note any injury to the ex in the report), and Guion allegedly hit the boyfriend. The police noted that the boyfriend had abrasions and he sought medical treatment and has filed a civil suit alleging $53,000 in medical bills, claiming that he may need surgery on his jaw, IIRC. Without interviewing the witness, the ex, and the boyfriend, and doing some background checks on them, I can't tell just how murky the criminal case was. In any event, the DA offered "deferred adjudication" to Guion, under which the charges are dismissed if he engages in no additional criminal activity for 6 months, and apparently if he made restitution ($5,000 for the boyfriend's medical bills). Some may see paying the money and accepting the deal as an admission: that is for each to judge in the court of public opinion. Yet it may have been the smart thing to do, considering how much Guion had to lose with the NFL and with a pending civil case. Even then, the NFL might be taking note of any testimony that comes out in the civil case.

Drug Dealer Financier: JSO decides to mention in the 2nd paragraph of the article (why so early?) that Guion's father has 7 convictions involving cocaine, 4 or more of which were for dealing cocaine. JSO never states whether the dealing charges occurred before or after Guion started drawing NFL paychecks (I am sure that JSO could have run the father's record to determine when the convictions happened and whether tiny amounts were involved or something more substantial, perhaps indicating that the father had access to significant capital). Instead, JSO just leaves the innuendo out there. I read the transcript of the officer whose testimony boils down to hearing from some confidential informants (unidentified, unknown if previous information checked out) said that Guion funded some drug dealers, (mentioning Guion's cousins, the Carters, but not his father - see above). The other evidence was that Guion was driving on a "known drug corridor" which also happened to be in the same county as the city where he was born and raised. FYI, I-94 between Illinois and Milwaukee is a Known Drug Corridor; so is I-43 near Sheboygan. There are probably a lot of these corridors in Wisconsin.

We have discussed the $190K in cash, the 351 grams (about 3/4th of a pound) of marijuana and the gun all found in Guion's car. I won't rehash that. There is a lot of smoke here. Most of it stems from fathering a child with a woman who appears to have issues (not that Guion also does not have issues or at least did not handle it well). He has to deal with her if he wants a relationship with his daughter. I would not cut Guion at this time.

It surprised me to no end the Packers kept him around after that FL arrest. It seems he somehow convinced a bunch of fans and the Packers all that mess was somehow innocuous. I don't buy any of it. I think he is thug and the Packers need to part ways. I am guessing the Packers have now come to the same conclusion and have clammed up because speaking the truth is both embarrassing and also legally tricky. They'll let this blow over a bit before sending him on his way.
