This man gave me an opportunity in 2007 that I will always be grateful for. He stuck by me when I wasn’t at my best. He was always honest, never let moments sway is integrity and was always loyal to his players and packers organization. RIP Ted. You are missed. #legend pic.twitter.com/bPhAzcB736

The Seahawks family is saddened by the passing of Ted Thompson, who served as our Vice President of Football Operations from 2000-04 and helped lay the foundation for our 2005 Super Bowl team.

He was a great leader, talent evaluator and will be greatly missed.

It's amazing to think that about 10 years ago Ted Thompson and Kevin Green we're celebrating a Super Bowl Victory and now have since past away. 2 takeaways. 1. Go for your highest aspirations because at least you will leave this life with no regrets. 2. Our time here flies fast.

Sad to hear of Ted Thompson passing. In my brief stint with the packers I wish I got to thank him more for believing in me and giving me a chance.

I’m saddened to hear the news of Ted Thompson’s passing. I can’t say enough good things about Ted. I always enjoyed the lunch room conversations and sideline chats we had and I will always feel indebted to him for taking a chance on this unproven kid. RIP TT 🙏🏼

Thank you, Ted Thompson.

My sincere condolences to the Thompson family. Ted was a great man and great GM for the Packers. I’ll always remember my draft day phone call. He asked me if “I’d have his back?” And I responded with saying “Not only his back, but Aaron Rodgers back too.” #RIP #ThankyouTed
