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.
