Cory's Corner: Ted Thompson deserves to walk on his own terms

Ted Thompson’s current contract expires after the 2018 NFL Draft. Thompson has been a highly successful general manager since his first NFL Draft in 2005. Why push him out or show him the door just because Kansas City made a terrible decision and made an executive with Packers ties unemployed?

Thompson had a solid 2017 draft and bolstered it with a pair of sturdy tight ends that will make the receivers’ jobs easier.

The question lies with Thompson himself. He’s 64 and has been involved in the high stress world of the NFL front office since 1992.
