The Green Bay Packers saw their marks decline in the NFLPA’s annual report cards for all 32 franchises. Although the full evaluations are no longer available to the public, reports still indicate whether a team’s grades improved, slipped, or stayed the same. In Green Bay’s case, the feedback points to a notable drop, with head coach Matt LaFleur reportedly playing a role in the lower assessment.
According to Aaron Nagler of Cheesehead TV, the Packers experienced the largest year over year decline in grades across the NFL. Multiple categories slipped, including the training room and staff, treatment of families, the nutrition program, and even the head coach evaluation. Most surprising, Matt LaFleur ranked near the bottom of the league in perceived respect for players.

“The Green Bay Packers fell 14 spots, to 21st overall in this year’s Report Card – the steepest year-over-year decline of any team. The drop is driven largely by the decline in ratings for the training room and training staff, which now rank in the bottom third of the league. Players report a lack of space and outdated recovery equipment, along with a lack of communication and trust in the training room. These issues are a top priority players identify to be addressed,” Negler posted on X (formerly Twitter).

Matt LaFleur took over as head coach in 2019 and has led the Packers to six playoff appearances in seven seasons. Even with that consistent success, the team has yet to capture a Super Bowl under his watch. After Green Bay fell 31-27 to the Chicago Bears in last season’s playoffs, speculation grew about whether the franchise could consider making a change at the top.
“Players report that the team does not provide gameday childcare, as most teams do, contributing to their bottom-third ranking for treatment of families. The team’s nutrition program similarly ranks near the bottom, with players wanting improved nutrition plans and more nutritious food options to better support these plans. Head coach Matt LaFleur dropped a full letter grade this season and ranks second-to-last in the league in respect for players.”

In the end, the Packers committed to LaFleur by signing him to a multi year contract extension that reportedly increases his annual salary by about $12 million.
Despite the disappointing NFLPA evaluation, all signs point to LaFleur remaining firmly in place as Green Bay’s head coach.
