Executive Transactions

The Packers have signed GM TED THOMPSON to a "contract extension and appear close to doing the same with coach MIKE MCCARTHY." Packers President & CEO MARK MURPHY said that he and Thompson "agreed to the multi-year extension in mid-December but waited to announce it until after the season so it wouldn't distract from the team's playoff push." Thompson and McCarthy "had two years remaining on their contracts, which last were extended in January 2008." Murphy "wouldn't comment on the length of Thompson's new deal" (GREEN BAY PRESS-GAZETTE, 2/12).
