Packers Give Matt LaFleur a Multiyear Extension

The decision follows Ed Policy’s push to avoid lame‑duck contracts after talks centered on contract length over money.

Overview

  • NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported Saturday that LaFleur agreed to a new multiyear deal, removing the possibility of a 2026 lame‑duck season.
  • Green Bay is moving to extend GM Brian Gutekunst and EVP Russ Ball as well, with some outlets reporting Gutekunst’s agreement is already in place.
  • Agents and reporters said the key negotiating hurdle was contract length rather than salary, with estimates for LaFleur’s new pay ranging roughly from $14 million to $20 million per year.
  • The move comes after a five‑game slide to end 2025, including a 31‑27 wild‑card loss to the Bears in which the Packers squandered an 18‑point lead.
  • Policy met with LaFleur and Gutekunst this week in Kohler, Wisconsin, as he made his first major leadership decision since becoming team president in July.
