While heads are rolling left and right at 1265 Lombardi Avenue, details have emerged about a new contract for Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy.
McCarthy actually received a one-year contract extension during the 2017 season, according to a report from ESPN’s Rob Demovsky. The extra year will take his contract through the 2019 season, rather than expiring at the end of 2018.
The contract could give McCarthy some measure of stability while the Packers search for a new general manager to replace Ted Thompson. However, depending on the opinions of Thompson’s eventual successor, he could choose to release McCarthy anyway.
