Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson is expected to transition into a new role with the team, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
As a result, the Packers are beginning their search for their next general manager.
Thompson has served as the Packers' general manager since 2005, building the nucleus of the team's 2010 Super Bowl-winning squad.
Eliot Wolf, Brian Gutekunst, and Russ Ball are among the internal candidates the Packers are considering for general manager, according to Rapoport. Wolf is the son of former Packers general manager Ron Wolf.
The Packers fired defensive coordinator Dom Capers on Monday and more changes could be coming as the team watches the playoffs from home for the first time since 2008.
