Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Last week, the Packers got around to announcing an extension for general manager Ted Thompson that was agreed upon Dec. 13. Thompson signed a three-year extension that will obligate him to the Packers through the 2015 season. The negotiations with McCarthy also center on a three-year extension that will carry him through 2015. After five years, he has a record of 53-34 for a winning percentage of .609. ... Both Thompson and McCarthy signed new five-year contracts in January 2008. Now, fresh from victory in the 45th Super Bowl, the Packers will have their two top football decision-makers under contract for five more years.
