[QUOTE="JBlood, post: 347421, member: 16"] [B]A fitting motivational ploy by McCarthy[/B] By [EMAIL="tsilverstein@journalsentinel.com"]Tom Silverstein[/EMAIL] of the Journal Sentinel Jan. 7 2011 [B]Thompson, McCarthy contracts: [/B]Contract extensions for general manager [B]Ted Thompson [/B]and McCarthy should be forthcoming after the Packers won Super Bowl XLV on Sunday night. Murphy said both Thompson and McCarthy would be hearing from team management soon. "I deal with Ted and he deals with Mike," Murphy said. "I want both of them to be with the Green Bay Packers long-term." Both Thompson and McCarthy have two years remaining on five-year contracts each received after the drive to the NFC Championship Game in January 2008. When Murphy was asked why he couldn't be more definitive, he replied, "There's something you don't know." He declined to elaborate. In September, a close friend of Thompson's said it wouldn't surprise him if Thompson left the grind of the GM's job sooner than later. "I'm very confident Ted is going to stay with the Packers," said Murphy. Thompson, who turned 58 last month, was first hired by the Packers in 1992 as a pro scout. After going to Seattle in 1999, he returned to Green Bay as GM in 2005. [/QUOTE]
