Ed Policy to Lead Packers Starting July 25

Ed Policy will formally assume the role of Green Bay Packers president and CEO at the July 25 shareholders meeting, succeeding Mark Murphy after his 17-year tenure. Policy, with 13 years of experience at the Packers and a background in football executive leadership, has been instrumental in projects such as the Titletown District. He emphasizes continuity with Murphy’s leadership but will hold head coach Matt LaFleur, general manager Brian Gutekunst, and football operations director Russ Ball accountable, explicitly stating their contracts will not be extended before the season and their futures will be decided before the 2026-27 season based on the team's competitiveness. Several players, including quarterback Jordan Love and key receivers and linemen, face crucial contract years, heightening the focus on performance. Policy's leadership approach centers on fostering competition and returning the team to championship contention. He has communicated clear expectations for elevated results from both team leadership and players.
