Report: Packers plan to engage LaFleur in extension talks after season
The Green Bay Packers plan to engage head coach Matt LaFleur in extension talks once the season ends, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
LaFleur's current contract expires after the 2026 campaign, Rapoport adds. The outcome of Green Bay's playoff contest against the Chicago Bears on Saturday reportedly won't impact his job security.
The 46-year-old is in his seventh season as Green Bay's head coach after being hired in 2019. He's gone 76-40-1 during his tenure, and his .654 winning percentage ranks 16th in NFL history and fourth among active head coaches, per Pro Football Reference.
The Packers have qualified for the playoffs in three consecutive seasons and in six of seven campaigns under LaFleur. They finished 9-7-1 this year, securing the NFC's seventh seed. Previously the offensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans before taking the Packers job, LaFleur has helped Green Bay's offense rank third in EPA/play and fourth in success rate from 2019-25, according to Ben Baldwin's database.
Jeff Hafley, hired as LaFleur's defensive coordinator in 2025, is expected to receive head coaching interviews this cycle.
The Packers will face the Bears at Soldier Field at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday.
