The Dolphins, still trying to convince Ron Wolf to join them as a personnel consultant, acted on one of his recommendations Thursday.

The Dolphins received permission from the Seattle Seahawks to interview Ted Thompson, formerly the top personnel aide to Wolf in Green Bay, for their general manager position. Thompson, vice president of football operations for the Seahawks since 2000, is expected to interview on Sunday.

While with the Packers, Thompson was Wolf's director of player personnel from 1997-2000, a position he was promoted to after serving as a scout in 1992 and pro personnel director from 1993-1997. Thompson departed for Seattle a year...

I never knew Ted interviewed for the Dolphins GM spot.

after former Packers coach Mike Holmgren left for the Seahawks and offered Thompson substantial influence in personnel decisions.

Thompson and Wolf, who retired in 2000, helped provide the Packers talent that contributed to a 92-52 record and six straight playoff appearances, including a Super Bowl title in 1996 and an NFC championship in 1997.

"(Thompson) played a very important role in (the Packers' success)," Wolf said in a telephone interview Thursday. "He's done a good job in Seattle."

Okay.. lets play a little game of fantasy GM here..

Would you trade Ted for Bill Parcells?

That is since Ted would have taken the Fins job and left the Tuna in the open. 😉

I'd take Ted because Bill isn't a GM.

LOL... technicalities and labels. So since Ted has the VP and GM job, does he have a greater say than Bill? :lol:

Maybe Ted bosses himself around.. would be a reason he is so timid, lol.

I would much rather have Ted than Bill.

Bill seems to alienate every place we is and never really leaves a place better that when he got there.

beast (17-May) : Not sure why a players views reflect on GB... instead of simply on the player

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity

Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.

buckeyepackfan (15-May) : Let the leaks begin. Colts @ Packers week 2, Vikings @ Packers week 4

Zero2Cool (14-May) : WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to Bills

Zero2Cool (14-May) : Jets and Aaron Rodgers open up on Monday Night Football,

Zero2Cool (13-May) : $170 guaranteed. This might impact Jordan Love

Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
