"The Green Bay Packers are working to bring back head coach Matt LaFleur and general manager Brian Gutekunst, each of whom is headed into the last year of his current deal, and the expectation is that there will be contract extensions for both, league sources told ESPN. The Packers continue talking with both LaFleur and Gutekunst this weekend, making progress and working toward a positive resolution that is the more likely outcome, according to sources."
"Packers president Ed Policy, LaFleur and Gutekunst were spotted together Thursday night at the American Club in Kohler, Wisconsin. They discussed the future, and all are working to get something done and keep the trio intact. All signs now point to them staying together. Policy said last June that he would prefer not to have a lame-duck coach. LaFleur declined to answer last weekend whether he would be willing to coach the last year of his contract without an extension in place."
"The Packers have gone 76-40-1 in the regular season under LaFleur and have made the playoffs in six of his seven seasons. But they have not reached the Super Bowl and have not been to a conference championship game since the 2020 season, the second of back-to-back appearances in LaFleur's first two years. Gutekunst has worked for the Packers since 1999 and has served as their GM since 2018."
