Summary
The Packernet Podcast is back with a loaded offseason breakdown. Ryan digs into the massive PFF restructuring following the Teamworks acquisition, the LaFleur and Gutekunst media sessions, and some candid Ed Policy comments that have the fanbase buzzing — including whether Lambeau's name is actually safe long-term.
- PFF Is Shrinking — Fast: Roughly half the staff was let go after Teamworks acquired the enterprise data side. Ryan breaks down what this means for consumers, why Silver Lake's mismanagement is largely to blame, and whether Collinsworth can keep the consumer product alive without the revenue that actually funded it.
- LaFleur's Year-One Reset: Matt LaFleur is treating the offensive install like it's his first season — and Ryan explains why the offensive line and Matthew Golden may be the exact reasons why. LaFleur also doubled down on finishing games, promising a start-to-finish emphasis in every single drill this offseason.
- Locker Room Honesty: In a rare candid moment, LaFleur admitted that role dissatisfaction hurt the team in 2025. Ryan weighs in on who the likely culprits were and what the coaching staff can realistically do about it.
- Gutekunst & Policy Highlights: Long-time targets Zaire Franklin and Benjamin St-Juste, optimism around Christian Watson's extension, Jordan Morgan locked in at left tackle — plus Ed Policy shooting down Lambeau naming rights talk (for now) and the Packers potentially heading to Munich or Paris in 2026.

| 0:00.0 | Oh, ladies and gentlemen, welcome once again to the Packernet podcast. |
| 0:13.8 | I am your host and resident panelists. |
| 0:15.8 | As always, Ryan Schlipp. |
| 0:17.5 | Check us out online, packernet.com. |
| 0:19.9 | Find me on Twitter pack underscore datab. |
| 0:23.6 | So today, I do want to get into the things that we learned. We had yesterday for me, |
| 0:34.4 | the head coach and GM, Goodekunst and LaF Lafleur speaking to the media. Today, it looks like |
| 0:42.4 | we had some comments from Ed Policy. So I want to make sure that we get into that. Before we get |
| 0:49.1 | there, though, there are a couple things that have been going around and whatnot. |
| 0:55.5 | And I want to touch on what. |
| 0:56.4 | If you remember, and this is a sad thing for me, I don't know what's going to happen, whatever, |
| 1:03.3 | but obviously some people will absolutely revel in this. |
| 1:07.6 | Others maybe not so much. |
| 1:09.9 | If you remember not too long ago, I had mentioned the acquisition of PFF from a company. |
| 1:19.1 | That company is known as TeamWorks, and what I had talked about in the past is that TeamWorks is |
| 1:24.1 | actually a mega corporation. |
| 1:26.5 | They have started a business that provides data, |
| 1:31.3 | analytics, et cetera, kind of across the board to provide to teams. And it's meant to be a one-stop shop. |
| 1:38.0 | So it's not just like analytics. It's also like your food and an exercise reg uh, an exercise regimen all can be logged in one |
| 1:47.2 | place. They want kind of like Elon talks about X being like the, the, whatever it's called. |
| 1:54.9 | It's like the one app or the one website or whatever that, that you'll ever need. That's essentially |
| 2:00.1 | what they're trying to be. |
