The Green Bay Packers recently made a big decision on who their next chairman, president and CEO will be.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Green Bay has chosen Ed Policy, the team’s current CEO, to be the de-facto leader of the organization starting in the summer of 2025.
This would be the equivalent of any other NFL team naming their next owner because Green Bay doesn’t have an owner seeing as they are publicly-owned.
Whoever sits in the role of chairman, president and CEO is in charge of the franchise.
Ed Policy will be that man.
He has been with the organization in various roles for the past 12 seasons and is about to enter his seventh year as the team’s general counsel.

The team will be moving on from current president Mark Murphy in the summer of 2025 because Green Bay has a rule that states every team president must retire from the position at the age of 70.
Murphy has been the team president and CEO since 2007.
What many people forget about Murphy is that he was once a player and a good one at that.
He led the league in interceptions in 1983 while in Washington as an All-Pro safety.
In what will soon be 18 seasons as the team president, Murphy has kept the Packers in contention for many years.
They hoisted the Lombardi Trophy in 2010 and have made the playoffs in 13 of his 17 seasons in Green Bay.
With one season left to go in his term and after an exciting 2023 season with Jordan Love taking the reins from Aaron Rodgers, perhaps he may get one more Super Bowl ring before he rides off into the sunset.
