At least we now know what the hangup is in the discussions between the Green Bay Packers and head coach Matt LaFleur. The two sides appear to be some distance apart on the length of the contract, not the average annual salary, with the Packers looking for a shorter-term extension (a year or two) and LaFleur hoping for something in the 5-year range.

Now the question becomes whether the two sides will meet in the middle or if one of them will give in. At this point, LaFleur probably holds more leverage, since he could likely get the deal he’s...

Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, one of the best members of the Green Bay Packers’ beat, just wrote an update on where things stand between the Packers and head coach Matt LaFleur, as Green Bay attempts to get a deal done for LaFleur to be the coach of the Packers in 2026 and moving forward. As he put it, “negotiations are dragging.”

Per Silverstein’s sources, the issue “isn’t as much about money as it is length,” which, in my opinion, is a statement that has some merit to it, but is still ultimately about money. Silverstein claims that...

Since we’re all waiting on the news about Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur and whether he and the team can find a number that makes sense on an extension, I thought I’d make myself useful, take a break from the scrolling and talk about another member of the coaching staff. No, this time it’s not about the inexperienced true assistant pool. In this piece, I want to focus on veteran special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia, who has 20 years of non-Packers on-field NFL experience, compared to just 27 years for the rest of the coordinators/assistants on the team...

When long-time Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Tom Clements (2006-2016, 2022-2024) retired after last season, head coach Matt LaFleur filled the vacancy by hiring Sean Mannion to the role. Mannion, who left Oregon State as a third-round pick and was the Beavers’ all-time passing leader, had previously played for LaFleur in 2017, LaFleur’s one season as the Los Angeles Rams’ offensive coordinator.

Mannion stuck around the league until 2023, and he was hired as a Packers offensive assistant for the 2024 season, his first year coaching. This year, he moved up to being an on-field coach for the first time...

Alright, since we’re all just killing time and refreshing for updates on what will happen with Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, I figured I’d open the floor to get people’s predictions on what happens with his future — now five days after the Packers’ brutal choke job against the Chicago Bears in the wild card round.

Name your league-wide insider (who generally get the big news before the local beat, any local beat, at this point), and their story seems to be similar. Whether it’s ESPN’s Adam Schefter, The Athletic’s Dianna Russini or NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, they...

Whispers and chatter are everywhere surrounding the Green Bay Packers’ head coaching situation, as contract talks between team brass and coach Matt LaFleur continue and remain unsettled. Despite both sides publicly expressing a desire to reach an agreement, there’s still no finalized deal, leaving LaFleur’s future “up in the air,” according to league insider Adam Schefter.

The lack of clarity has spawned speculation across sports media (‘tis the season, I guess). Schefter’s remarks suggest that while negotiations are ongoing, they have not progressed substantially in recent days, fueling doubts about whether a contract extension will be completed soon. Packers president...

Nine NFL teams have head coaching openings at the present time, and although no contract extension has yet been announced between the Green Bay Packers and Matt LaFleur, momentum seems to be pushing towards the two sides coming to a deal. That would keep the number at nine, and Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley is a busy man this week, drawing interest from more than half of them.

On Thursday, Hafley added yet another head coaching interview to his itinerary. According to Ian Rapoport, the Pittsburgh Steelers are the latest team to request an interview with Hafley, doing so less...

The Green Bay Packers have precious few assistant coaches on their staff with lengthy pedigrees in the NFL, and there is a chance they could lose one of those few who do have track records in the league to another job this offseason.

On Wednesday, the Dallas Cowboys submitted a request to the Packers to interview defensive line coach Demarcus Covington for their vacant defensive coordinator position, according to Josina Anderson. The Dallas job came open shortly after the end of the regular season when the Cowboys fired Matt Eberflus (yes, the former Chicago Bears’ head coach) from the job....

Welcome to the first edition of Green Bay Packers offseason fan fiction, if that’s something you fancy. This is my first crack at predicting what will happen in Green Bay through the draft. I’m sure I’ll get plenty wrong here, but we don’t even know (for sure) who the head coach will be for the Packers in 2026, so let’s all just understand this is an educated dart throw.

Coaching changes

I think Matt LaFleur comes back. I have no idea if he’s gonna get the kind of extension that he wants, or if he just coaches out the...

It’s been a few days now since the Green Bay Packers lost in devastating fashion to the Chicago Bears in the first round of the playoffs, ending a very up-and-down season with a five-game losing streak. Now that the dust has settled, what better way to reflect than to relive some trauma? So let’s rip that band-aid off and re-open some wounds!

In 2024, our APC fearless leader, Justis Mosqueda, was asked to rank the Packers’ heartbreaking losses based on how much they hurt, beginning with 2007. The last 2 seasons, he’s updated his rankings to include the most recent...

As the Green Bay Packers are negotiating with head coach Matt LaFleur for what seems to be a rather inevitable extension, I find myself increasingly annoyed by the organization. Not because of a LaFleuer extension, no, I am on board with that. It’s everything surrounding it, which mostly comes down to the Packers being cheap. The Packers are not cheap like how the Cincinnati Bengals are cheap. By all accounts, their front office is well-staffed. The Packers are more than happy to spend cash on the roster. They fully leveraged the end of the Aaron Rodgers era, and they’ve put...

For weeks, ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter has been consistent in saying that the Green Bay Packers and head coach Matt LaFleur want to get an extension done, with the issue not being the Packers’ desire to keep LaFleur but instead the price it would cost to keep LaFleur. On Wednesday, days after this alleged meeting between LaFleur and president/CEO Ed Policy was supposed to take place and set the record straight about the future path of the organization, Schefter gave some updates to ESPN Wisconsin.

When asked where the two sides stand, Schefter said the following:

Yeah, there’s...
