Harlan is the architect of the modern Packers franchise, and it’s time we make sure the rest of the NFL understands that.
In recent years, Green Bay Packers fans have mounted impressive campaigns for many former players to be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Jerry Kramer, LeRoy Butler, and Sterling Sharpe all have busts in Canton — or in Sharpe’s case, he will have one in a few weeks — thanks in large part to the support of Packers fans worldwide.
With those players all enshrined, it may be time for fans to focus on a campaign for another legendary figure in franchise history, but one who is all too easily forgotten because of his softspoken nature and work behind the scenes. Yes, I am referring to former team president & CEO Bob Harlan.
Harlan is the single most important person to the Packers existing in their current form today. Around 35 years ago, he moved into the head role with the franchise and in a few short years, turned it around from a perennial cellar-dweller to one of the most successful modern franchises in football. Given the Packers’ importance and historical significance to the NFL, that turnaround is something that is worthy of more league-wide recognition.
Packers fans understand how much Harlan did for the team. It’s time we make sure the rest of the NFL community does as well.

It’s unclear if these two had more than one year left on their contracts. However, it’s notable that they’re getting extended since the Packers have chosen not to do the same for Matt LaFleur and Brian Gutekunst this offseason with those two each locked up only through 2026.
