Ted Thompson is making the right call in letting Cullen Jenkins hit free agency.

General Manager Ted Thompson and head coach MIke McCarthy are slated to appear before the media tomorrow at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Don't look at this years "needs" - look a year down the road when trying to project Ted Thompson's draft moves.

General manager Ted Thompson signed a new, multi-year contract with the Green Bay Packers on Friday.

One day after Ted Thompson was being praised for getting the Packers to the Super Bowl "his way", his methodology has caused a mini-controversy.

Green Bay's general manager shows faith in his players, and his players reward that faith with results on the football field.

Aaron declares a winner in Ted Thompson vs. Brett Favre

Tramon Williams has earned a contract extension.

Charles Woodson has reportedly signed a contract extension with the Packers

It's time for fans to get behind the moves (and non-moves) the Packers made throughout the offseason.

UPDATE: Mike McCarthy added new info for this post during his post practice press conference.

Improving from within is not just reserved for the first and second year players.

Football Outsiders' Bill Barnwell contends that the Packers are in the midst of a hidden rebuilding period.

Bill Barnwell has broken down how much each team spent at each position group in '09. The Packers lead in one area and are dead last in another. Not surprisingly, it is reflected on the field.

Packer Update makes a great point regarding the former and the current Packers offensive linemen.

Greg Bedard of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel says the Packers have "No excuses" and no one to blame but themselves if they don't make a deep playoff run in 2010. We here at Cheesehead TV could not agree more.

The Packers have reportedly contacted long-troubled cornerback/return specialist PacMan Jones.

The Packers like to preach "improve from within" when talking about the younger players on their roster. It's starting to look like that mantra extends to the coaching staff as well.

Grading the NFL draft immediately after it happens is an excercise in futility. Yet every year the media churns out page after page of worthless grades. "Dreck" says Aaron.

Aaron wraps up the 2010 NFL Draft from Radio City

Packer fans should not be surprised by the Mike Neal pick. But, of course, they were.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Packers have "expressed interest in trading up to 10-12 range." This, of course, has set off the BS Detectors here at CHTV headquarters...

PackersLounge wants Ted Thompson to pick up the phone and call Tracy White. We understand the pull but it's time to move on.

Aaron's Twitter-musings about Ted Thompson possibly taking a look at Brian Westbrook keep getting closer and closer to coming to fruition.

Yesterday, Aaron pontificated via Twitter that the longer Brian Westbrook remains on the free agent market, the greater the chance that Ted Thompson would take a look. Someone at ESPN was apparently listening...

The National Football League is trying to create more interest in the draft by going to a different format.What will that mean for the Green Bay Packers? Ted Thompson has some interesting things to say.

No matter how much we 'study' these college kids between February and late April when they are selected by their respective pro franchises, there will be some who think Ted made a good choice at 23, there will be some who think Ted made a horrible choice at 23, and there will be some who curse Ted for the Justin Harrell pick - still. And despite all that is said and all that is written, nothing will matter until that guy steps on the field and does something.

Will recent big-money signings cause some jealousy in the Packers locker room? Andrew Brandt, who worked on contracts for the Packers for over 10 years, seems to think so...

Ted Thompson has clearly committed to the teams "improve from within" mantra. He has a team that went from 6-10 to a Wild-Card berth and a first round exit in the playoffs. That's improvement. But the next step is the toughest - ensuring the team doesn't experience the terrible slide that saw it spiral from a 13-3 Championship game participant to the aforementioned 6-10 squad.

Great post by C.D. Angeli over at Tundra Vision regarding Thompson's offseason approach.
