Matt LaFleur addresses uncertain future in Green Bay, details conversations with Packers management

Matt LaFleur spent the 2025 season knowing his contract with the Green Bay Packers would be up after the 2026 season. An extension never came before or during the season and now, LaFleur appears to be on rocky ground after Saturday’s NFC Wild Card Round defeat to the Chicago Bears.

The Packers, at one point, had a 21-3 lead over their NFC North rival. They led 21-6 after 45 minutes of play. Then came the fourth quarter, 15 minutes LaFleur and Green Bay would like to forget. The Packers were outscored 25-6 as the Bears completed their largest playoff comeback in franchise playoff history.

There were already rumblings that LaFleur could be on the hot seat if Green Bay had another early playoff exit. After what unfolded at Soldier Field, it’s no longer just chatter; it’s a realistic possibility.

LaFleur on Sunday had his end-of-season press conference. He revealed he will meet with team president Ed Policy either Sunday night or Monday. LaFleur added he briefly spoke with Policy on the team plane home Saturday night. As for his job status, LaFleur’s focus isn’t there.

“We’re fresh off this loss. My sole focus is on our players, our team, and just trying to find ways to get better,” LaFleur said. “We talked briefly on the plane, and there’s going to be a time where we’re going to get together — either later tonight or tomorrow sometime.”
