Policy May Regret Packers Contract Extensions

After succeeding Mark Murphy as Packers president and CEO, Ed Policy made it clear that 2025 would be an up-or-out season for LaFleur and Gutekunst, who both had contracts running through 2026. Policy expressed his dislike for lame-duck arrangements, suggesting either extensions or firings after the 2025 season.

Despite the Packers blowing a 21-3 halftime lead against the Bears in the wild-card round, Policy gave both new contracts guaranteeing one or more full seasons beyond 2026. This decision complicates any consideration of firing either leader this year, raising questions about whether Policy might regret not waiting longer on these extensions given the NFL's current year-to-year reality in locker rooms. amunra-online.pl
