Packers Plan Postseason Talks to Extend Matt LaFleur

Ed Policy’s evaluation is complete, leaving salary as the key hurdle to avoid a lame-duck season.

Overview

  • NFL Network reports Green Bay will meet with LaFleur shortly after the season with a mutual goal of an extension, and he is not coaching for his job in the Wild Card game.
  • LaFleur’s deal runs through 2026 and he is 76-40-1 in the regular season with a 3-5 playoff record since 2019.
  • Multiple reports say money is the sticking point, with estimates that a new deal could land in the $12–15 million per year range.
  • The Packers held off on extensions last summer to give new CEO Ed Policy a full season of evaluation, and he has publicly opposed letting a coach or GM enter a contract’s final year.
  • Potential outside interest could influence talks, with reporting suggesting Miami under new GM Jon-Eric Sullivan as a possible suitor if no deal is reached, which would require a parting or compensation.
