Policy currently serves as Green Bay's general
counsel and chief operating officer.
"Ed has been a tremendous asset to the organization during his
12 years here and has been greatly instrumental in our success,"
Murphy said in a news release. "He is highly respected -- both
in the building and within the NFL. I've enjoyed working with
him and am confident he will be an excellent steward for the
organization."
The Packers are the only community-owned team in the NFL, and
Policy, 53, will become the public face of the franchise.
"This is the absolute best job in sports. We are the stewards of
the most iconic and unique organization in all of professional
sports," he said. "I am excited to continue to work with so many
talented teammates who have ensured the Packers' consistent
success on and off the field. We are the people's team, and I
love being a part of it."
Policy's experience includes nine years with the Arena Football
League, which culminated in him serving as commissioner,
president and CEO (2008-09).
His father, Carmen Policy, was the president and CEO of the San
Francisco 49ers during their Super Bowl-winning seasons in the
1980s and ‘90s and later of the Cleveland Browns.
