Aaron Nagler -   Win it for Ted.

Peter Bukowski  -   Rest in peace to one of the most important figures in modern Packers history.

Ben Fennell  -   Awful news. Sad day for the Green Bay Packers organization, fan base, community... but also a sad day for anyone ever involved in scouting. Few people as committed & dedicated to the scouting community as Ted Thompson. He lived and breathed football. A legend... Absolute legend.

RIP Ted, this was so sudden. He was a great GM despite what some might say about the way he did things. But he has built great teams together, brought in and drafted amazing players that helped us win. And to this very day we still have great contributors on this team that he drafted. Adams/Clark/King/Bakh/Linsley/Jones/Williams/Lowry/Crosby and our HoF QB Aaron Rodgers. Ill miss him. Let's win that Lombardi for him!!

Sad deal .. his health really deteriorated the past few years.  Rest In Peace TT!  Thanks for all you did for the Packers organization.

Yeah, we knew part of the reason he retired was due to his health and from his pressers you could just tell something wasn't right. Was hoping his health would pick back up after he stepped away and didn't have to deal with the day-to-day responsibilities of being the GM.

6 of the teams best players are Thompson picks.  Crosby is one of the most reliable kickers in the league still, and Tonyan is starting to emerge as one of the better TE's in the NFC.
