The Green Bay Packers have agreed with head coach Matt LaFleur on a multiyear contract extension, according to multiple reports on Saturday night.

ESPN reported that LaFleur has signed the contract, describing it as "not a prove-it deal but a real commitment," according to its sources.

Team president Ed Policy, who took over in July 2025 for Mark Murphy, is also negotiating contract extensions with general manager Brian Gutekunst and executive vice president Russ Ball, ESPN and NFL Network reported.

LaFleur, 46, was 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 postseason record, 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.
