Matt LaFleur has agreed to terms on a contract extension to remain the Packers’ coach, a week after Green Bay’s season ended with a wild-card playoff loss<\/a> to the Chicago Bears, according to a person familiar with the situation.<\/p>\n

The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the deal hadn’t been announced. ESPN and NFL Network first reported the agreement.<\/p>\n
