Incoming Green Bay Packers President Put Matt LaFleur On Hot Seat For 2025: Report

Per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, Policy told reporters on Friday that he has no plans to extend the contracts of Gutekunst or LaFleur. They each have two seasons remaining on their current deals.

“Policy told local beat writers on Friday that he’s not extending either of them entering the season (which is not unusual around the league with two years remaining) and is “generally opposed” to the head coach and general manager working with just one year remaining on their deals,” Schneidman wrote.

“That creates a lot of issues,” said Policy. “I think normally, you have a pretty good idea of where that relationship is going when you have two years left — not always, but normally. But it creates a lot of issues because they also have to hire a staff … generally speaking,

“I would avoid lame-duck status. It’s oftentimes difficult on everybody involved, but there are certain situations that probably call for it. So I would not say never.”

To the hot seat

LaFleur has a 67-33 record with Green Bay since he took over in 2019. He’s 3-5 in the postseason, and has made one NFC championship appearance.

Schneidman took Policy’s decision to mean LaFleur and Gutekunst are on the hot seat in 2025.

“In other words, the Packers will likely either extend or fire LaFleur and Gutekunst after this season,” Scheidman wrote. “This year already carries a heightened sense of urgency for the Packers as they enter Year 3 of the Jordan Love era after an underwhelming season, but now the public knows the head coach and general manager may have even more at stake, too.
