"Jason is a very valuable member of our organization and has contributed greatly to its success," said Packers President/CEO Mark Murphy. "His knowledge and insight of the Packers, and the NFL, has been extremely helpful to me as I've transitioned into my role with the organization. We know Jason will continue to provide valuable leadership on many key issues for the Packers."
Wied (pronounced WEED) joined the Packers Sept. 18, 2000, as staff counsel after practicing civil litigation and business law for two years (1998-2000) at the law firm of Liebmann, Conway, Olejniczak & Jerry, S.C., in Green Bay. He was promoted to corporate counsel a year later.
