In the days since a Wild Card loss to the Chicago Bears, Matt LaFleur’s future remains a key question mark for the Green Bay Packers. He has one year remaining on his contract, and ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the two sides are expected to try and work out a deal .
However, that still hasn’t happened. Speaking on NFL Live Tuesday afternoon, Schefter updated the situation – and invoked colleague Brian Windhorst in the process.
Schefter pointed out the amount of time since news broke of the expected conversations between LaFleur and the Packers about a new deal. Considering there’s no agreement in place yet, as of Tuesday evening, he pointed out Windhorst’s viral quote about the Utah Jazz in 2023 and said to keep an eye on Green Bay.
“I would say this on Matt LaFleur. … We said yesterday that they’re trying to work out a deal with Matt LaFleur,” Schefter said.” It’s almost 48 hours later. There’s still no deal with Matt LaFleur. We’re waiting. … It should not be that hard. And by the way, let me say this. They still might work it out with Matt LaFleur. They might. They’re trying. But it shouldn’t be a difficult deal to do.
“We can do the numbers right now, crunch the math and come up with a deal to get it done. It’s ticking and there are more openings and there are teams waiting, so we need an answer. We haven’t gotten one. And last thing on that. As my friend Windy would say, there’s something going on in Green Bay. We’ve got to keep watching Green Bay.”
