The NFL’s annual spring meeting kicked off this week. During the multiday event, the owners will discuss, both publicly and behind closed doors, the possible expansion of the schedule and other key items on the league’s agenda. They will also vote on a number of rule proposals.

This year’s spring meeting features some significant changes for the Green Bay Packers. For the first time since 2007, a team president other than Mark Murphy will represent them. Ed Policy, who officially took the reins from Murphy last July, will navigate the often-knotty league politics and owner backroom dealings for the first time.

Meanwhile, the Packers’ head coach and general manager each spoke for the first time since the NFL Scouting Combine. Both discussed how 2025 ended for the team, the decisions they’ve made in the time since, and their expectations for the upcoming season.

They also sat for a photograph.

All of which underscores that some parts of the meeting hold more importance than others.

So, between it all, what from Monday actually matters for the Packers?
