The biggest story for the Green Bay Packers this offseason will be figuring out what to do with cornerback Jaire Alexander. Many are wondering if he will be back with the team next season.
If he is not with the team, it will be interesting to see if he is traded or released. The Green Bay Packers will need to overhaul the cornerback position this offseason. Alexander has missed many games over the last two seasons because of various injuries.
Yahoo Writer Jason Owens Lists Green Bay Packers Cornerback Jaire Alexander As Only Potential Cut Candidate This Offseason
Yahoo writer Jason Owens wrote about the Packers’ offseason preview. He listed one player on the roster who could be a potential roster cut this offseason and that would be cornerback Jaire Alexander. There are a lot of analysts who think the former Louisville Cardinals cornerback will get cut this offseason. Owens said:
“Why he might be gone: When available, Alexander is one of the league’s premier cornerbacks. But that’s a big contingency. He has played a total of 14 games the past two seasons, and the $6.4 million in cap savings his release would provide are worth Green Bay’s consideration. A trade is also an option if Green Bay ultimately moves on and finds a suitor.
In the event that Alexander’s upside is too enticing to let him walk, he has two years remaining on a four-year, $84 million deal.”
It may not be worth it for the Packers to keep him around next season if he gets injured again and has all of that money tied to him. Green Bay trading him or releasing him would be the best option for this franchise for the 2025 season. He was once a good cornerback for this team, but it is not worth it for both parties to keep him around much longer.
