It's Friday, which is cause for mild celebration in offices around the world. But it's not just any Friday, Green Bay Packers fans: it's also Ted Thompson's birthday! Hmm...I wonder what Ted will do to celebrate...?

Yup, that sounds about right.
In honor of Ted's 61st birthday, we look at moves he probably will make (see Chris Banjo below), moves he absolutely won't make (see Darrelle Revis), and moves he may or may not make and we have no idea which it will be (see John Kuhn).
Enjoy!

John Kuhn's greatest value continues to lie in the intangibles - knowing the playbook and having a knack for being in the right place at the right time (like blocking Julius Peppers).

The chances of Chris Banjo NOT getting a league-minimum contract to keep him in Green Bay are about the same as Ted calling me up to join the scouting department.

The Packers' first and third picks this year, plus a 2015 3rd-rounder for Darrelle Revis and his $16M per year deal? LOL NOPE.

I like it. Don't dwell on past failures OR successes, just go out and do your job.
NFLN survey/respected player: Packers - ESPN
Aaron Rodgers was the fifth-most-respected player around the NFL according to ESPN's survey.
NFLN survey/franchise player: Packers - Green Bay Packers Blog - ESPN
"The fact that more players chose the 37-year-old Manning and the 36-year-old Brady over Rodgers, 30, and Luck, 24, tells how players think -- they want to win now." I don't blame them - success is fleeting, and NFL careers are short.
