Green Bay is going with an internal option for its next quarterbacks coach.
Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Media, the Packers are naming Luke Getsy to the position.
Getsy, 41, replaces Sean Mannion, who departed the franchise to become Philadelphia’s offensive coordinator.
Getsy was previously Green Bay’s quarterbacks coach under head coach Matt LaFleur from 2019-2021. He left to become the Bears’ offensive coordinator, holding that position from 2022-2023. He was then the Raiders’ offensive coordinator in 2024 before he was fired midseason.
He returned to the Packers in 2024 as a defensive consultant before moving back to the other side of the ball in 2025 as senior offensive assistant.

The Seahawks won Super Bowl LX less than 24 hours ago and some have already turned their attention to Super Bowl LXI.
Sportsbooks have set the odds for who will be raising the Lombardi Trophy in SoFi Stadium on February 14, 2027. The Seahawks are at the top of the list, but they aren’t the only team on that rung.
They aren’t even the only NFC West team. The Rams join the Seahawks at +950 at DraftKings at the moment.
The Bills have the top odds of any AFC team with the Eagles, Patriots, and Ravens tied for the fourth spot. The Packers, Lions, Chargers, and Chiefs round out the top 10.
At the other end of the spectrum, the Cardinals and Dolphins are both at +25000.
Packers president Ed Policy made a big decision to kick off the team’s offseason when he reached agreement with head coach Matt LaFleur on a contract extension.
LaFleur was set to go into the final year of his contract and there was some question about whether he’d be back after the team blew a 21-3 halftime lead in their playoff loss to the Packers. The nature of that loss helped fuel the doubts about LaFleur’s future in Green Bay, but Policy explained in a column for the team’s website that he put more value in LaFleur’s long-term record than on the immediate reaction to the loss.
“Football is an emotional game, and I understand the high emotions that go into a playoff game against our longest-held rival,” Policy said. “However, in my seat, you must rise above emotions and analyze objectively an entire body of work to make a long-term decision that puts the team in the best position to compete for Super Bowls year in and year out. That’s the process I went through following our season. Candidly, over the years I’ve grown to appreciate ownership groups that built dynasties through level-headed steadfast continuity in lieu of emotional chaos.”
LaFleur is 76-40-1 over seven seasons in Green Bay and that record supports Policy’s decision to take the long view with the coach. A deep playoff run in 2026 would still be a good way to ensure the questions aren’t back on the table next January.
The Eagles are continuing to reshape their offensive coaching staff.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that they will hire Ryan Mahaffey as their run game coordinator and tight ends coach. Mahaffey and new Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion worked together in Green Bay for the last two seasons.
Jeff Stoutland was the team’s run game coordinator in addition to serving as their offensive line coach, but he announced on Wednesday that he will be leaving the team after 13 seasons. Jason Michael was the tight ends coach on Nick Sirianni’s staff for the last five seasons.
Mahaffey spent the last five seasons on the Packers’ staff. He was a quality control coach and assistant offensive line coach before coaching the team’s wide receivers the last two years.
The Packers’ season ended when they blew a 21-3 lead in the second half of a playoff loss to the Bears and that collapse mirrored the way they finished out the regular season.
After starting the year 9-3-1, the Packers lost their final four games to head into the playoffs as the No. 7 seed. During a press conference on Wednesday, General Manager Brian Gutekunst said he “thought we had an opportunity to kind of round into form there in the second half of the season” and that addressing the failure to do so after stronger finishes earlier in head coach Matt LaFleur’s run in Green Bay.
“In Matt’s first five years, we were 25-8 in December and January,” Gutekunst said, via the team’s website. “I think we’re 3-9 the last two years, so we’re looking at that from a lot of different angles, to make sure that we’re playing our best football in December and January. We’ve got to win the games that matter the most. That was a strength of ours prior to these last couple of years, was how we finished. We were playing our best football at the end of the season. We haven’t done that the last two years.”
The Packers were missing players like Micah Parsons, Tucker Kraft and Devonte Wyatt at the end of the year, but Gutekunst rejected that explanation for the downturn. He said the team had “everything we needed to win those football games,” so the focus is going to be on other factors for the disappointing finish.
If the Cowboys had to trade Micah Parsons, CeeDee Lamb wishes it wouldn’t have taken so long.
Lamb visited PFT Live today on Radio Row at Super Bowl LX and talked about losing Parsons as a teammate and how difficult it was to see Parsons’ long negotiations with the Cowboys overshadow the team’s preparation for the 2025 season.
“As his teammate and as his brother I wish I would have known what the situation would have been and we wouldn’t have dragged it out,” Lamb said.
As Parsons showed up to training camp but generally declined to participate until he got a new contract, Lamb kept thinking a deal would get done for Parsons to stay with the Cowboys long-term. It didn’t.
“Let’s just prepare to have him, as we go through our preparation and seeing him out there in his pads, we’re like, ‘Any day now.’ And that day never came for us,” Lamb said.
Instead, it happened for the Packers, who traded two first-round draft picks and Kenny Clark to the Cowboys for Parsons. And only after a long process that was tough for Parsons’ teammates in Dallas to endure.
Though the Packers made the postseason in 2025, the club finished the year with five consecutive losses — including a 31-27 defeat at the hands of the division-rival Bears in the wild card round.
It’s worth noting that streak includes a Week 18 loss in which the club rested its starters. But that’s little consolation for the final result.
Still, Green Bay General Manager Brian Gutekunst told reporters in his Wednesday press conference that he was pleased with quarterback Jordan Love’s play in 2025, particularly late.
“I thought Jordan played really, really good football — some of his best football, especially down the stretch,” Gutekunst said. “I actually thought he was one of our guys that played very, very well down the stretch. Continues to be an unbelievable leader for our football team. I couldn’t speak more highly of what I think about Jordan and where he’s headed.
“As good as he’s been for us, I do think he’ll continue to get better because it’s important to him. He works at his craft. He’s always looking for another edge. So, yeah, I feel really good about that.”
Love, 27, did not appear to be the problem for Green Bay in 2025. He completed 66.3 percent of his passes for 3,381 yards with 23 touchdowns and six interceptions in his 15 regular-season games, with four game-winning drives. He then went 24-of-46 for 323 yards with four touchdowns in the postseason loss to Chicago.
But in Love’s three seasons as a starter, the Packers are now 1-3 in the postseason. That is a record Green Bay would surely like to improve in 2026.
Micah Parsons’ relationship with the Cowboys and owner Jerry Jones came to a bitter and disappointing end when the team traded him to Green Bay last August. While the edge rusher said he has nothing to be mad about since he “went to another historic organization” that paid him “a historic amount,” Parsons does regret that contract negotiations became personal.
“I just wish some of those things never happened. You know what I mean?,” Parsons told Clarence Hill of All City DLLS Cowboys. “I wish that he never brought me into the office and just let the agent speak. And I wish he hadn’t compromised our relationship. I thought me and Jerry had a good relationship up to that point until this offseason, and it’s sad that it went to shit like that.”
Parsons’ relationship with Jones will never be the same, although Parsons claims he holds no animosity toward his former owner.
“I don’t know about Jerry, but I have no bad blood,” Parsons said. “If I saw Jerry today, I would shake hands with him and say thank you for the opportunity I had to be a Cowboy.”
While Parsons may have forgiven, he has not forgotten.
Jones thought they had a handshake deal on “term, amount, guarantees,” without Parsons’ agent present. Parsons eventually directed the Cowboys to deal directly with his agent, David Mulugheta. Parsons said that March 18 meeting was the last time he talked to Jones.
Parsons and Jones have feuded publicly since, with Jones insisting the Cowboys won the Aug. 28 trade.
“There’s only two people who know the real truth — me and Jerry Jones,” Parsons said. “I’m not mad or anything. I went to another historic organization. I got paid a historic amount. So I got really nothing to be mad about in this world.”
Parsons spent four seasons in Dallas and made four Pro Bowls and 52.5 sacks.
The Packers have made it official with Jonathan Gannon, naming the former Cardinals head coach their defensive coordinator on Monday.
“We are thrilled to add Jonathan Gannon to our coaching staff. He possesses tremendous experience as an NFL coordinator and head coach,” head coach Matt LaFleur said in a statement released by the team. “I am confident that he will be an outstanding addition to our organization, as well as a strong leader of our defense. We welcome Jonathan, his wife, Gina, and their three children, Rocco, Lola, and Angelo, to the Packers and the Green Bay community.”
Gannon, 43, joins the Packers after three seasons with the Cardinals. Arizona went 15-36 in Gannon’s tenure.
Before that, Gannon was the Eagles’ defensive coordinator from 2021-2022. He had served as the Colts’ defensive backs coach from 2018-2020.
Gannon replaces Jeff Hafley, who was hired as Dolphins head coach last month.
The Dolphins have found a defensive coordinator for new head coach Jeff Hafley.
According to multiple reports, Miami is hiring Green Bay linebackers coach Sean Duggan for the role.
Duggan, 32, had worked under Hafley at Boston College as the team’s linebackers coach from 2020-2022 and was co-defensive coordinator in 2023.
When Hafley was hired as Green Bay’s defensive coordinator in 2024, Duggan came along as a defensive assistant. He was then promoted to linebackers coach in 2025.
Duggan played linebacker at Boston College and began his coaching career there as a graduate assistant in 2015. He also spent time with Hawaii, Mass, and Ohio State as an assistant coach.
Hafley has said that he will call Miami’s defensive plays in 2026.
