Packers prepared for post-Ted Thompson era, whenever it happens
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Mark Murphy knows how much longer Ted Thompson plans to work as the Green Bay Packers general manager. He also has a succession plan in mind.
The Packers president/CEO isn’t ready to reveal either one.
However, this much is clear: Murphy won’t be caught off guard when Thompson decides to step down.
Packers GM Ted Thompson, who turned 63 on Jan. 17, is under contract through the 2018 season.During an interview last week at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis, Murphy seemed confident in both the direction Thompson is taking the Packers in and what the future holds whenever his long-time general manager decides to walk away.
