Former Packers President Mark Murphy Reveals Cancer Diagnosis — “Every Green Bay Win Is My Strength”

Outgoing Packers CEO Mark Murphy reveals biggest regrets, says team ready  to make 'significant' progress - CBSSports.com



Green Bay, WI – September 29, 2025

Mark Hodge Murphy, who retired just months ago after serving as President and CEO of the Green Bay Packers from 2008 to 2025, has announced he has been diagnosed with cancer. At 70, Murphy vowed to confront the illness with the same determination he brought to Lambeau Field.

 

“I have recently been diagnosed with cancer and am undergoing treatment with the guidance of an outstanding medical team,” Murphy said in a statement. “Every Green Bay win is my strength, and I’m determined to keep cheering this team forward.”

 

 

Murphy’s career with the Packers defined a transformative era. Taking over in 2008, he guided the franchise through the transition from Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers, and later Jordan Love. Under his leadership, Green Bay went 156-93-2 in the regular season, reached five NFC Championships, and won

Off the field, Murphy oversaw more than $600 million in investments into Lambeau Field and the Titletown District, while also securing the 2025 NFL Draft for Green Bay — an event that drew over 600,000 fans and generated $94 million in economic impact.

 

Known for his close connection with Packers shareholders and fans, Murphy embodied the unique community-owned spirit of the franchise. He was inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame in August 2025, just weeks after retiring, and continues to be celebrated as a bridge between the team’s legacy and its future.

Following retirement, Murphy accepted a role as executive in residence at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, where he mentors young leaders and supports strategic athletic projects. His commitment to service extended beyond football, including foster care initiatives and Big Brothers Big Sisters.

 

The news of his diagnosis has prompted an outpouring of support from Packers fans and NFL peers alike. Many took to social media to thank Murphy for his leadership and send prayers as he enters this new battle.

 

For Green Bay, Murphy’s resilience echoes the spirit of its team: loyal, unyielding, and rooted in community. His fight now belongs to the entire Packers family, who stand firmly behind him.
