Packers, Matt LaFleur agree to contract extension

Our Summary

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has agreed to a contract extension with Green Bay, ensuring he remains with the team beyond the 2026 season. This decision follows speculation about his future after the Packers' early playoff exit. General Manager Brian Gutekunst and director of football operations Russ Ball are also reportedly receiving new contracts. The team aims to move beyond being the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoffs, a position they have held for the past three seasons, and to strengthen their bid for Super Bowl contention by 2026.
