McCarthy, Packers Getting Closer To Extension

ESPN - Mike McCarthy's new deal with the Green Bay Packers might be just a signature away.

Packers' Chairman Bob Harlan said Friday negotiations between the team and McCarthy are progressing well but are not complete.

"The signed copy has not crossed my desk yet," Harlan said.

The Green Bay Press-Gazette reported on its Web site Friday that McCarthy and the team have agreed in principle to a five-year deal worth about $4 million per season, citing an unnamed NFL source.

Harlan said negotiations have been going well, but this week has been "slow" because Packers' General Manager Ted Thompson was in Houston scouting the East-West Shrine game, and McCarthy has been preparing the team for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the New York Giants at Lambeau Field.
