It’s been a quiet few months from Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst - but that’s about to change.
Gutekunst is set to hold his end-of-season press conference for the 2025 campaign this Wednesday, February 5, at 12:20 p.m. CT. That might not sound like a big deal on the surface, but considering how rarely he speaks publicly, this is one of the few annual opportunities to hear directly from the man steering the Packers’ roster-building strategy.
Last year, Gutekunst held this same media session back on January 17. The delay this time around?
Understandable. The Packers only just announced contract extensions for Gutekunst, head coach Matt LaFleur, and VP/director of football operations Russ Ball on January 30.
That move solidified the team’s leadership core heading into what could be a pivotal offseason in Green Bay.
This will be Gutekunst’s first time fielding media questions since his press conference following the Micah Parsons trade. And if you’re wondering why we haven’t heard much from him during the season, there’s a reason for that too.
The Packers had an early bye in Week 5, which meant no traditional midseason availability. They also stood pat at the trade deadline, so there was no need for a post-deadline presser either.
Typically, those are the only other in-season moments Gutekunst addresses the media.
So, Wednesday's availability carries some extra weight. It’s not just a recap of the 2025 season - it’s a window into the Packers’ offseason blueprint.
There are plenty of questions fans would love to see answered. What’s the long-term vision for the roster?
How do they evaluate the development of their young core? What positions are they prioritizing in free agency and the draft?
And how does the front office view its current cap flexibility heading into 2026?
While Gutekunst is famously measured in his responses, his words - and what he chooses not to say - often reveal the team’s broader philosophy. With the leadership trio now locked in for the foreseeable future, this press conference could offer the clearest signal yet of how Green Bay plans to build on its 2025 campaign.
So mark your calendars. Because when Brian Gutekunst speaks, Packers fans - and the rest of the league - tend to listen.
