Rob Demovsky Breaks Down LaFleur Extension Delay, Gutekunst and Green Bay Packers Power Shift

Rob Demovsky joins Wilde & Tausch and delivers one of his most passionate, unfiltered breakdowns yet.

Why isn’t Matt LaFleur’s contract extension done? Is Green Bay really “cheap”? Is the Packers’ organizational structure about to change — and could every option still be on the table, including a trade?

Rob dives deep into:
Why the LaFleur extension is far more complicated than it looks
Ed Policy’s role and the push toward a new/old power structure
How Brian Gutekunst and Russ Ball factor into the timing
The truth behind the Packers being labeled “cheap”
What Rob was hearing this week — and why the silence is telling
Why a lame-duck coach scenario makes no sense
Micah Parsons’ comments and what they may have revealed
Rashan Gary, Romeo Doubs, and tough roster decisions ahead

This is classic Demovsky: informed, fired up, and brutally honest.

  6. Naaaahhh I don't believe Rob on this 1. I'm leaning more towards Justice I've heard a few times we low balled good coaches and I believe we have 1 of the lowest coaches salaries in the league just to prove the point. The only exception has been Rich other then that it's always a coordinator being promoted instead of a legit coordinator. Just like what Justice said it's when we actually bomb badly in spot like special teams before we actually hire a coordinator

  7. 2 things. Why is this an issue. LaFluer is signed thru next season worry about it after next season.
    Gutey, is the issue. The bottom 40% of this team is garbage. Gutey or the scouts gotta go.

  12. Very disappointed in Rob’s arrogant attitude and dismissive comments regarding Justis Mosqueda. If Rob would take the time, he would find out what the rest of us already know which is that Justis is one of the most insightful analysts currently covering the Packers and Acme Packing Company is a go-to site for many Packers fans.

  13. Why did Rizzi fly up to GB when he had no intention of signing? And the "matching the same salary" offered by the Saints was done a FEW DAYS AFTER he left GB, per the story. Demovsky must be aware that that the very person in the Packers organization telling him this Silverstein/Mosqueda "low-BALL" Rizzi story is a bunch of crap, might actually be the very same one who low-BALLED Rizzi and is trying to cover his a$$? (As in, Russ Ball.)

  14. If we’re just running everything back, then this whole week has been a waste, teams are getting better and soon I can see only 1 team from the north getting into the playoffs

  19. Why do people think other failed coaches are the solution?
    Prudence. Yes he "won" a SB with TB Bucs. That was Tony Dungys defense which was great, against his old coordinator with Raiders. I'm not 💩ing on his accomplishments BUT they never won another one, he struggled for years with the Raiders. Then the stupid email PR nightmare.
    Gruden is a good energy guy for football film study for fans. Accept that, end your hope filled suffering. Gruden isn't coming to GB.
    Maybe this whole Lafleur negotiation will fall apart. If that happens plan on the Pack not being good for awhile. The next coach could be more unsuccessful yet.
    I am critical of Lafleur too. He keeps struggling and his team is immature. Gutey has a lot of good picks, but also some shitty too. The Packers are a play off team still but are struggle busing too much. If you blow this up and rebuild the assumption is they would get the next Lombardi? Or could they end up just sad AF….

  21. ByI think Brian gutekunst shouldnt come back if Matt is brought back based on a prove it contract. I don't know about other packer fans. But honestly I feel there is no need for him. All he does is get draft picks and trades picks to accumulate more draft picks. But that really hasn't worked at all and it shows because where is the talent? To me they have starters and than their depth really isn't depth. After the starters they have a drop off and they really are expendable and for that they are basically practice squad guys.
    Does anyone see on pff what kind of grades the packers have? Look at playoff teams and look at their players grades compared to GB player's. That there will tell you a lot about the kind of players they really have. Most of green bays offensive lineman are in the mid 60s. The best guy apparently jenkins is just under 70. If you look at them grades based on the academic scale? That's borderline F. By that notion that should tell you why they can't get it done. So this meltdown is on brian. If you look at the roster now? Brian gutekunst don't have shit to hang there hat on after love. That's really bad. No one sees it and if they do they aren't talking about it.
    That's what these guys should be talking about. If these guys care about the packers they need to speak up. Russ ball and brian gutekunst can leave. They don't go to scout players? That's why they are where they are.

    To me if I was a GM that would be fun. That's my season. To go out and look at players.
    If you ain't doing that your just collecting a check and wasting talent or prime years of your only good player in love. Mckinney is a good safety but that's not a true green bay product. He wasnt drafted by Brian.
    I wish I could sit with ed policy just to outline the possibilities. See sometime when you won a lot but playoffs been shitty. It's hard to decide if the coach is bad or good.
    It's kinda like having a GF that is misbehaving at times but faithful for most time. And it's your friends and family that pull you a side to bring you. Back to earth. Sometimes it's hard to see shit and others are seeing it

  23. Id tender him. And when you say a prove it type deal for doubs? It's a joke..he is the possession receiver on the packers. This is what I mean when packers disrespect good players and fall in love with mediocre. It's not about doubs play it's more about his character if they let him go. That's why the packers will never win under this regime

  25. "not that simple" isn't an excuse to not have a deal after 6 days… Something is going on where they have to be exploring multiple options. If their was any possibility that they wouldn't keep LeFleur they would not wait until the best coaching candidates are gone and lose leverage.
