The Green Bay Packers signed Mike McCarthy to a one-year extension during the 2017 season.

The deal keeps McCarthy under contract through the 2019 season. McCarthy would have been entering the final year of his contract in 2018 without an extension.

The Packers want to keep McCarthy as coach even though they are seeking a new general manager with Ted Thompson being reassigned.

McCarthy is 131-78-1 (including 10-8 in the postseason) with one Super Bowl in his 12 NFL seasons.
