Ted Thompson signs new 5-year deal
Green Bay - Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson signed a new five-year contract today that runs through 2012, team chairman Bob Harlan announced.
"We are very pleased with the way Ted Thompson has led the football operations of this organization," Harlan said in a statement. "He is doing exactly what we anticipated when we hired him. He crafted his trade under Ron Wolf, built a strong football team in Seattle and has built a team here in Green Bay that is back in the playoffs. He has a great system of building the team through the draft and has the Packers positioned very well for the future."
Thompson, 54, became the Packers' general manager in 2005 after five seasons as Seattle's vice president of football operations.
