Packers, Matt LaFleur Extension Talks Remain Unresolved

Salary expectations have emerged as the key obstacle to an extension.

Overview

  • Nearly two days after reports of imminent discussions, no agreement has been announced, with ESPN’s Adam Schefter calling the situation "up in the air."
  • LaFleur is heading into the final year of his contract, a scenario the Packers traditionally try to avoid.
  • Reports indicate money is a sticking point, with estimates suggesting it could require roughly $12–15 million per year to keep him.
  • After a wild-card loss to the Bears in which Green Bay surrendered a 21–3 halftime lead, scrutiny of LaFleur’s future intensified.
  • Aaron Rodgers publicly backed LaFleur and the coach expressed appreciation, while media speculation continues about options that could include a coaching trade.
