"However, in their loss to Chicago, the Packers squandered an 18-point halftime lead and gave up 25 points in the fourth quarter alone. LaFleur should not be blamed for Brandon McManus' missed kicks (two FGs and a PAT) or a Caleb Williams fourth-down conversion that will be forever cemented in Bears lore, but the defeat adds to a recent string of disappointing finishes."
"LaFleur, 46, is presently under contract through 2026, and team president Ed Policy has made it plain that he (like most team execs) does not want to have his head coach or general manager go into a season with just one year remaining on their deals. Despite a regression from LaFleur's stellar start to his Packers tenure, he is in line for a raise and could command $15MM or more per season."
Matt LaFleur's future with the Green Bay Packers is uncertain following a playoff loss in which the team squandered an 18-point halftime lead and surrendered 25 fourth-quarter points. Brandon McManus missed two field goals and a PAT, and a decisive Caleb Williams fourth-down conversion sealed the defeat. LaFleur produced 13-win seasons in each of his first three years and managed the quarterback transition from Aaron Rodgers to Jordan Love. The Packers have lost three straight playoff games and have not won the NFC North since 2021. LaFleur remains under contract through 2026 and could command $15 million-plus, while team president Ed Policy prefers not to enter a season with one-year deals for head coach or general manager.
