Packers General Manager Ted Thompson Signed To New Contract 

The Green Bay Packers have signed Ted Thompson, the teams Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations, to a new, multi-year contract, team President/CEO Mark Murphy announced Friday.

Thompson, who recently concluded his sixth season as the leader of the teams football operations, has built the Packers into one of the NFLs strongest young teams. That was highlighted by a Super Bowl XLV win over the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday as Green Bay became only the second No. 6 seed since 1990 to win the world championship.

We are thrilled to have Ted lead our football operations for the foreseeable future, said Murphy. He has done an outstanding job of building this team. We worked on this and reached an agreement in December, and we are pleased to be able to make the announcement today.

This is a great organization and I am very humbled and appreciative, said Thompson. Green Bay is a special place and I am honored to work with such a great group of people that have all contributed to our success.

Since taking over general manager duties in 2005, Thompson has built the foundation for a Green Bay team that has made three playoff appearances in the past four seasons and has posted a 40-24 (.625) regular-season record since 2007. Of the Packers 53 active-roster players in Super Bowl XLV against Pittsburgh, 49 were acquired by Thompson, with 26 of them drafted during his tenure.

The 58-year-old Thompson is a native of Atlanta, Texas. He was a three-year starter at Southern Methodist University and enjoyed a 10-year playing career as a linebacker with the Houston Oilers (1975-84). Thompson previously served an eight-year tenure with Green Bays personnel department (1992-99) and five seasons in Seattle (2000-04) as the teams vice president of football operations before re-joining the Packers in 2005.

They probably had it in place but didnt sign it until after the SB to avoid destraction.
Mike McCarthy will be next.

Great news! He's built us a team that will contend for the next 10 years, while taking sh*t from fans and pundits the whole way.

Anyone heard any specifics?

Just knowing that our structure is intact for at least another 3-5 years makes me very happy. Ted is just warming up on building a superior team.

IN TED WE TRUST!!!

LOL.

Thank God Ted Thompson is a long-term investor. Short term, yes, Brett was better than Aaron in '09 as only Brees had a better year. By 2010, Favre is done (and was downright painful to watch if you're a Favre fan) and Aaron's now the best QB in the NFL.

Go - Yes, Mike McCarthy is next.

Pack - I saw that same article but I didn't want to post it yet because they only said multi-year extension. Would have been nice if they said how many years. Not at all blaming you; I just wish they said how many years because I want to know.

Thanks for posting it. That's great news. :thumbright:
