A new era is upon the Green Bay Packers. Mark Murphy, the Packers' president and CEO since 2007, turns 70 on July 13, which by franchise bylaws, means he must retire. Less than two weeks after his birthday, he will be succeeded by Green Bay COO and general counsel Ed Policy, who spoke with reporters about his upcoming stewardship of the franchise.
A hot topic of conversation coming off of that media session: the futures of coach Matt LaFleur and general manager Brian Gutekunst. Both have two years remaining on their contracts, and Policy was pretty frank about the situation: He does not want anyone entering a lame duck year, but is not ready to offer either an extension ahead of the 2025 season.
