The Green Bay Packers have announced they will honor President/CEO Mark Murphy during halftime of the team’s Week 16 home game against the New Orleans Saints.
Murphy, who is in his final season as the team’s president and CEO, has been with the Packers since 2008 and will retire in July 2025 when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 70.
Green Bay will host a ceremony during halftime of the Saints game, paying tribute to Murphy and his long list of accomplishments.
Under his leadership, the Packers have made the playoffs 12 times, including a team-record eight straight (2009 to 2016), while advancing to five NFC title games and capturing a Super Bowl victory in 2010.
Murphy spearheaded the creation of Titletown, a 45-acre development adjacent to Lambeau Field that transformed the area into a vibrant hub for tourists, fans, and the local community.
A significant milestone during his tenure, Murphy also played a pivotal role in making Green Bay the host site for the 2025 NFL Draft.
“The Packers have a rich and proud history that goes back to the early days of the NFL and are the only community-owned team,” Murphy said after securing the city’s first NFL draft. “That connection to our League’s heritage combined with the great passion Packers fans will bring will make the Draft a memorable event for those in attendance and NFL fans watching around the world.”
The draft will be held April 24-26, 2025, a couple of months before Murphy will retire.
Murphy will be replaced by Ed Policy, who is in his 13th year in Green Bay and is currently the franchise’s Chief Operating Officer and general counsel.
