Ted Thompson no longer GM

[TouchdownPackers]

So everyone is having their role redefined? We have no idea what anyone really did in that building anyways. I think the only thing that was known was that Russ Ball handled negotiations. This could be Murphy throwing a few bones to the pack of wolves but not really changing anything. There are times I have thought Ted is Bernie Lomax.

The name Russ Ball is new to me. All I know is Ted Thompson will be promoted in the front office.

do you truly think this was just decided today?

I heard last year it was coming..im almost positive this was discussed with others

I knew he discussed retiring for a while. Keep me posted next time! ha

I wonder what the "new role" will be.

Assistant to the regional manager.

I thought those two very odd week 17 signings meant something was up with him. That was just weird timing.

Now that the cat is out of the bag, it obviously had something to do with Ted Thompson's employment situation. I never considered the possibility at the time because other teams sign or extend players during the regular season.

Russ does handle or did...Just like when Andrew Brandt was here..Brandt did the negotiating.

It's been real, y'all!

no Ted is done.

Peter Principle alive in GB. TT has been promoted to his new level of incompetence. MM and the rest of his buddies can go next.

I think the roster is at its weakest since the Sherman disaster. To rebuild in time for Rodgers to lead us to another SB is a steep slope..

Thx for winning one and making January exciting.

Great news. Does a new GM bring in his own head coach?

 

[rmontro]

Hokey smokes! As crappy a season as this was, 2018 has been pretty interesting so far!
I'm almost expecting McCarthy to go next (not really).

Maybe Ted is stepping down, because the Packers know who they want to succeed him, and don't want to lose him to another team?

Ted is up there in age, retirement age. I can’t see him with the team in any more than an advisory role. Maybe just scout on the days he’s not golfing.

Probably depends on whether we hire an in-house GM.

he can...if Wolf or someone internal will have a better idea if they want MM...External gm may not want MM...But it might be known MM stays one more year? or the new guy may say I want my own HC. This maybe already decided

I was meaning more that the other 3 may have doing quite a bit of the work while he had the title.

Thanks. If anyone would know, you would. Keep us posted

 

[Jerellh528]

If you’re wolf do you leave if you don’t get this job? We all know he’s been pretty sought after.

Whats it going to take to get Schneider home to GB?

 

[brandon2348]

Whats it going to take to get Schneider home to GB?

"GUNS AND DOPE" which in NFL world is "draft picks and $"

Schneider doesn't have an out in his deal to return to Green Bay but Murphy could compensate Seattle to get him.

 

[Bagadeez04]

Man this is all happening so fast.

So the consensus is that Ted voluntarily stepped down? Or is it possible Murphy pushed him out?

I understand we don't know. Man i would like to know...

Holy ****.

Watching some Breaking Bad Marathon checked the news during a ad break for any new updates and seen it.

If Elliot Wolf isnt promoted to GM and they bring in a new outside guy is the seat now hot under MM?
