Packers–LaFleur Contract Talks Drag On as Coach’s Leverage Mounts

Agents say LaFleur is seeking multi-year security rather than a short-term raise.

Overview

  • Green Bay’s negotiations with Matt LaFleur remained active Friday with no sign of an imminent extension, and he has one season left on his contract.
  • Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reports LaFleur has the leverage to seek $15–$20 million annually based on recent coaching deals.
  • Agents quoted by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel say the main dispute is contract length, with LaFleur prioritizing multi-year security.
  • An agent criticized the Packers as a “mom-and-pop organization,” reflecting outside skepticism of the team’s approach to the talks.
  • Coverage has floated alternatives if no deal is reached, including a potential trade for draft assets to teams such as Atlanta or Miami after John Harbaugh chose the Giants.
