Gutekunst Eyes Colts LB, LaFleur Tweaks Style

It's March 31st. This is NFL News Today, AI-powered stories from around the league. I'm Corey with the story.

Packers GM Brian Gutekunst and Coach Matt LaFlor hit the media spotlight at the NFL owners meetings in Phoenix this week.

Gutekunst dropped that he's been eyeing Colt's linebacker Zaire Franklin for some time now, hinting at potential defensive targets ahead of the draft.

LaFlor addressed a rough player survey grade from last season, admitting he needs to build stronger connections with the team.

He stood by his decision to keep the offensive coaching staff intact, but plans to strip everything down and simplify the scheme moving forward.

Players clearly weren't thrilled with some of his approaches, and the NFL Players Association Report Card drove that point home.

It's a wake-up call for LaFlor to tweak his style and avoid more backlash. The bigger issue for Green Bay, closing out Thai games, even with all those injuries last year, they were right there but couldn't seal the deal in key moments.

As they wrap up these meetings, the focus shifts back to the draft and off-season tweaks to fix those lay-game woes and get back in Super Bowl.
