Packers extend contracts of coach Matt LaFleur, top executives

On Friday, January 30, 2026, the Green Bay Packers signed Brian Gutekunst, Matt LaFleur and Russ Ball to multi-year contract extensions, announcing all three deals after LaFleur's extension was reported earlier this month.
In the days after the wild-card loss, Policy met with LaFleur, Gutekunst and Ball, who reaffirmed their commitment before contract talks began, leading to extensions for Gutekunst and Ball after LaFleur's deal.
LaFleur's 76 regular-season wins rank him tied for second all-time, and the Packers went 9-8-1 this season with six playoff appearances in seven years.
Team sources said Matt LaFleur, Brian Gutekunst and Russ Ball will continue reporting directly to Ed Policy, preserving the chain of command, with contract terms not disclosed.
Gutekunst's tenure includes drafting Jordan Love while Aaron Rodgers stayed and trading Kenny Clark plus two first-round picks for Micah Parsons, raising questions on draft outcomes.
