Packers Expected to Pursue Matt LaFleur Extension After Wild Card Collapse

New president Ed Policy is expected to make a swift call on LaFleur’s contract.

Overview

  • ESPN reports Green Bay plans to try to work out a deal with LaFleur in the coming days, with multiple outlets indicating a speedy resolution and public announcement are likely.
  • LaFleur has one season remaining on his deal through 2026, and Policy has previously said he prefers not to have coaches enter a lame-duck year.
  • ESPN’s Rob Demovsky outlines a range of possibilities on the table, including a long-term extension, a short-term deal, a trade, a firing, a mutual parting, or playing out the contract.
  • Quarterback Jordan Love publicly backed LaFleur, and the coach said he wants to remain in Green Bay even as he declined detailed postgame questions about his future.
  • Adam Schefter reports Policy is weighing an extension versus moving on, with John Harbaugh viewed as a potential candidate if the job opens and LaFleur expected to draw strong interest elsewhere.
