The Dolphins, still trying to convince Ron Wolf to join them as a personnel consultant, acted on one of his recommendations Thursday.

The Dolphins received permission from the Seattle Seahawks to interview Ted Thompson, formerly the top personnel aide to Wolf in Green Bay, for their general manager position. Thompson, vice president of football operations for the Seahawks since 2000, is expected to interview on Sunday.

While with the Packers, Thompson was Wolf's director of player personnel from 1997-2000, a position he was promoted to after serving as a scout in 1992 and pro personnel director from 1993-1997. Thompson departed for Seattle a year...

I never knew Ted interviewed for the Dolphins GM spot.

after former Packers coach Mike Holmgren left for the Seahawks and offered Thompson substantial influence in personnel decisions.

Thompson and Wolf, who retired in 2000, helped provide the Packers talent that contributed to a 92-52 record and six straight playoff appearances, including a Super Bowl title in 1996 and an NFC championship in 1997.

"(Thompson) played a very important role in (the Packers' success)," Wolf said in a telephone interview Thursday. "He's done a good job in Seattle."

Okay.. lets play a little game of fantasy GM here..

Would you trade Ted for Bill Parcells?

That is since Ted would have taken the Fins job and left the Tuna in the open. 😉

I'd take Ted because Bill isn't a GM.

LOL... technicalities and labels. So since Ted has the VP and GM job, does he have a greater say than Bill? :lol:

Maybe Ted bosses himself around.. would be a reason he is so timid, lol.

I would much rather have Ted than Bill.

Bill seems to alienate every place we is and never really leaves a place better that when he got there.

beast (26m) : Yeah, but also some of the wording suggestions Jax only pranked called the QB, not the others... and if he had an open spreadsheet & 3 calls

beast (28m) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide

Mucky Tundra (52m) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him

Mucky Tundra (1h) : that contained all prospects info and contact

Mucky Tundra (1h) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something

Zero2Cool (1h) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.

beast (1h) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot

beast (1h) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?

Zero2Cool (2h) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\

Zero2Cool (2h) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets

Mucky Tundra (2h) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?

Zero2Cool (2h) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.

Martha Careful (2h) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat

Mucky Tundra (3h) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point

Zero2Cool (3h) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?

beast (4h) : It's not official until I'm dead! I have a chance still! (Not really)

Mucky Tundra (13h) : I could feel my body decomposing in real time when I read that

Mucky Tundra (13h) : @MIKEYSAINRISTIL Tyler Shough will officially be the last person drafted to the NFL born in the 1900’s

Mucky Tundra (23h) : saw the tweet, he meant the city

Mucky Tundra (23h) : Was that for the team or the city?

Zero2Cool (23h) : Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter · 3m Draft grade is in: Green Bay gets an A. The people, the city, the venue were all superb. NFL Draft’s next

TheKanataThrilla (26-Apr) : Sam Howell to Vikings...guess no Aaron

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : 1 round 7 min, with one extra minute if there is a trade. 2nd round 4 minutes, 3rd -3, 2 thereafter IMO

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Agree

dfosterf (26-Apr) : Great idea imo

dfosterf (26-Apr) : 1st round to 7 minutes with one extension

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 5 minutes in the 4

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 7 minutes between picks in the 2nd round

Martha Careful (25-Apr) : Sorry to bitch, but the headline writers in that section absolutely mislead, or don't know how to read. It is maddening

Martha Careful (25-Apr) : No thanks. Not a dependable guy to be in the right place and run the right route. Dumb as a box of rocks.

Zero2Cool (25-Apr) : Losing 2nd round pick for a one year rental, not ideal. Especially a headcase.

TheKanataThrilla (25-Apr) : Pickens for Jaire may be interesting. Definitely not sure we want Pickens long term.

dfosterf (25-Apr) : No.Absolutely not

Zero2Cool (25-Apr) : NO NO NO NO NO NO!!1 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

dhazer (25-Apr) : scenario: Our main prospects are off the board when our pick comes around, do we just throw a 2nd round pick at Pittsburgh for Pickens
