  • Adam Schefter on Matt LaFleur’s Future, Trade Value & Why Packers Are ‘On the Clock

    Adam Schefter on Matt LaFleur’s Future, Trade Value & Why Packers Are ‘On the Clock
    Jan 14 2026
    ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy to unpack the biggest question in Green Bay: What happens next with Matt LaFleur and the Packers? 011425 Schefty on JGC Schefter explains why there’s still no deal between LaFleur and the Packers, despite days of negotiations, and why that means the situation is officially “up in the air.” He lays out how both sides want an agreement, but length, money, and expectations are all potential sticking points. Topics Schefter dives into: 🏈 LaFleur’s leverage & the coaching market Why multiple teams would have interest if LaFleur hit the market How the nine head-coach openings impact his leverage Why Green Bay has to act quickly before other jobs start filling up 🔁 Could the Packers trade Matt LaFleur? Schefter walks through past examples of coaches being traded for picks — including Mike Holmgren to Seattle for a 2nd-rounder — and compares that to LaFleur’s potential value in today’s market. He explains why a team might instead choose a coach like John Harbaugh or Kevin Stefanski and avoid giving up draft capital altogether. ⏱️ “We’re on the clock” Why Schefter believes there is a timeline, even if it isn’t written down Why, for the sake of everyone involved, a decision should come this week How the Harbaugh domino could force Green Bay’s hand 💰 The real head-coach money tier Schefter and the crew talk through the going rate for top NFL coaches: Why “yesterday’s prices are not today’s prices” How salaries for guys like Andy Reid, Sean Payton, Mike Tomlin and John Harbaugh set the market Why hiring an elite coach now means paying well into eight figures per year 🧠 How the league views Matt LaFleur Schefter shares that a “very, very respected” NFL voice told him LaFleur is viewed as a top-5 head coach in the league, especially as an offensive mind. That perspective may not match how some Packers fans feel right now, but it absolutely shapes his market and the way other teams would pursue him. The segment wraps with Schefter drawing a parallel between his own house being under construction and the Packers being “under construction” too — and why everyone needs clarity so they can move on, one way or another. 🎧 Inside info, real timelines, and an honest look at LaFleur’s value across the league — only with Adam Schefter on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.

  • Demovsky: Why the Packers Are Trying to Extend LaFleur — And Why It’s Complicated

    Demovsky: Why the Packers Are Trying to Extend LaFleur — And Why It’s Complicated
    Jan 12 2026
    ESPN NFL Nation reporter Rob Demovsky joins Jen, Gabe & Chewy to unpack the Packers’ most important offseason decision: Matt LaFleur’s contract. After reports surfaced that Green Bay is expected to try to work out an extension in the coming days, Demovsky explains why the wording matters — and why this situation is far from a slam dunk. Key insights from the segment include: 🏈 Why the Packers want stability Demovsky references Mike Holmgren’s belief that quarterback success depends on coaching continuity — and why the Packers may feel keeping LaFleur is the best way to maximize Jordan Love’s prime years. 💰 Why this could still fall apart Rob outlines multiple realistic scenarios: The Packers offer an extension they know LaFleur won’t accept LaFleur demands top-of-market money he knows the team won’t meet Both sides “try” but leave themselves an exit In Rob’s words, both sides still have an out. ⏱️ The clock is ticking Demovsky stresses that this decision can’t drag on: Coaching candidates are already interviewing Waiting past midweek risks losing leverage A stalemate by Wednesday or Thursday would be dangerous 🔄 Jeff Hafley’s likely departure Rob increases his odds of Hafley landing a head-coaching job to 75%, noting: Five interviews already completed Strong interview skills LaFleur’s own comments suggesting he expects to lose him 🏗️ The power-structure dilemma The conversation dives into whether Green Bay restores an old-school structure where the GM controls the head coach — and how messy that becomes if done after extending LaFleur. Demovsky emphasizes that clarity matters as much as commitment: “If you think he’s the guy, then the money should follow.” The segment closes with a sobering truth: Fans may be emotional about Saturday night’s collapse — but players will move on far faster than the fan base. The real decisions now belong to the front office. 🎧 Clear-eyed reporting, real timelines, and inside context on the Packers’ most important offseason question — only on Jen, Gabe & Chewy.
