Ted Thompson Player Quotations

If we could find somebody that fits a role, maybe a guy that's a special teams player but also can play receiver, or somebody that's more polished as a receiver who can help us in the game plan, that'd be fine. Or it could be someone who plays a different position.

Sure. In either scenario (if Favre retires or if he doesn't). I think you have to take the best player available when you're picking that high.

You'd like to have three or four deep at each position, and a Pro Bowl player on the first team and a backup Pro Bowl player on the second team and so forth. It's just, there's not that many; the good Lord didn't make that many good tackles in the world.

It's Green Bay Packers ' policy never to talk about negotiations. There's nothing to say yet. We'll have something to say when a player is signed. Even then we don't say much.

There are different 'It' factors for different players. There are all kinds of different personalities of quarterbacks around the league, but there are a lot of good ones and they don't necessarily think and act alike. But I do think there are moments during games even on the collegiate level where you can see that this guys is something different, someone sees things differently, they see things a little bit quicker, they're a little bit more cognizant of what's going on. I think it's something like that.
