The end of an era for the Green Bay Packers is approaching, with Mark Murphy nearing the end of his time with the organization.
Murphy is nearing 70 years old, which is the mandatory retirement age for the Packers president and CEO. He’ll retire in July of 2025, and will reportedly be succeeded by Ed Policy.
Pete Dougherty with the Green Bay Press-Gazette reported on Monday, June 24 that Policy will be the next president and CEO for the Packers. Two sources confirmed the move to Dougherty.
Policy will be just the 12th president in franchise history. As the only NFL franchise without an owner, the role will come with incredible responsibility to shareholders and fans.
Murphy became a household name for Packers fans during his tenure. That will become the case soon enough for Policy.
Policy has been with the Packers organization since 2012. He originally served as vice president and general counsel. In 2018, he was moved from vice president to chief operating officer while still serving as general counsel for the team.
Prior to working for the Packers, Policy’s work in professional football dates back to 2001 with the Arena Football League. He served as the league’s deputy commissioner and president through 2008, then served as acting commissioner through 2009.
After that, Policy found his way to the NFL, where he took a job as an executive consultant for the league. That role only lasted two years before he found his way to the Packers.
