The Green Bay Packers are working to bring back head coach Matt LaFleur and general manager Brian Gutekunst, each of whom is headed into the last year of his current deal, and the expectation is that there will be contract extensions for both, league sources told ESPN.
The Packers continue talking with both LaFleur and Gutekunst this weekend, making progress and working toward a positive resolution that is the more likely outcome, according to sources.
Multiple sources told ESPN that they would be surprised if the Packers don’t complete extensions with both LaFleur and Gutekunst.

The Packers’ season ended in disappointing fashion last Saturday night, when they squandered an 18-point lead in a 31-27 loss to the rival Chicago Bears in the NFC wild-card round. Multiple high-profile Packers players, led by Parsons, publicly endorsed LaFleur in the days following the season-ending loss.
