Packers Offseason Priorities Before the Combine | LaFleur Extension, New DC & Defensive Reset | BLEAV in PACKERS with Ahman Green
️ Hosted by Ahman Green — Green Bay Packers All-Time Leading Rusher
With the season over, the Packers wasted no time setting the direction of the franchise before the NFL Combine. In this episode, Ahman Green walks through the critical checklist items Green Bay needed to address early in the offseason — and why acting quickly gives the Packers a competitive edge.
Ahman starts with Matt LaFleur’s multiyear contract extension, explaining why the move reinforces stability, trust, and accountability within the organization. He details how LaFleur’s leadership through quarterback transitions and roster turnover has earned him the opportunity to continue shaping the Packers’ identity.
The conversation then turns to the biggest structural change of the offseason: the departure of Jeff Hafley and the hiring of Jonathan Gannon as defensive coordinator. Ahman breaks down why Gannon’s experience as both a coordinator and a head coach appealed to LaFleur, and how Gannon’s previous success with the Eagles aligns with a Packers defense built around Micah Parsons and Xavier McKinney.
Ahman also explains why timing mattered — how moving quickly allowed Green Bay to secure Gannon before other teams could, even if it meant missing out on interviewing Jim Leonhard. The episode closes with a look at what still needs to be finalized before the Combine, including possible additional staff changes, front-office extensions, and defensive identity alignment heading into Indianapolis.
