The Green Bay Packers are finalizing contract extensions with head coach Matt LaFleur and general manager Brian Gutekunst, ESPN reported Saturday.
Talks with team president Ed Policy are continuing this weekend with a “positive resolution” being the “more likely outcome,” per the report.
LaFleur, 46, is heading into the final year of his contract after compiling a 76-40-1 record with six playoff appearances since taking over in 2019. His record in the postseason, however, is only 3-6 and Green Bay has not been to the Super Bowl since the 2010 season.
Gutekunst, 52, has been with the Packers organization since 1999 and has been the general manager since 2018.
Starting with the Week 15 loss of All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons to a torn ACL, the Packers (9-7-1) fell apart down the stretch this season. They dropped their last four games of the regular season before blowing an 18-point halftime lead in last weekend’s wild-card loss against the rival Chicago Bears.
