The Green Bay Packers re-signed defensive tackle Letroy Guion to a three-year, $11.25 million contract, according to multiple reports Friday.

Guion, who was scheduled to become a free agent next month, could also earn an additional $500,000 in incentives, ESPN.com reported.

The 28-year-old Guion played last season under a one-year, $2.75 million contract. He was in talks for a long-term deal in 2015 before he was arrested last February in his hometown of Starke, Fla., on a marijuana possession charge. Guion paid a $5,000 fine as part of a plea agreement.

Guion served a three-game suspension for a violation of the NFL's substance-abuse policy. He played in all remaining regular-season games and both playoff games.

Guion spent his first six seasons in the NFL with the Minnesota Vikings. In two seasons with the Packers, he has compiled 53 tackles and 3.5 sacks.
