Packers Sign GM Ted Thompson to Multi-Year Extension

Filed under: Packers

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- The Green Bay Packers have signed general manager Ted Thompson to a multi-year extension.

The 58-year-old Thompson took over as general manager in 2005. The Packers beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-25 on Sunday to win the Super Bowl, just the second time a No. 6 seed has accomplished the feat.

Thompson's old deal went through the 2012 season.

Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy says Friday the organization is thrilled to keep Thompson after working on and reaching an agreement on a new contract in December.
