As the Green Bay Packers work their way through the offseason, conventional wisdom has been that cornerback Jaire Alexander will not be with the team when they suit up for the 2025 season. The two-time All-Pro has been one of the NFL's top corners when healthy, but he's played in just 14 regular season games over the last two seasons.
Alexander has two years remaining on a four-year, $84 million deal, and is set to make over $16.1 million this season. The team can save over $6 million by releasing him this offseason, and given his durability issues, it is little surprise that the possibility has been floated in recent months. His departure would leave a big gap at cornerback however, one that signee Nate Hobbs likely won't fill alone as primarily a slot defender. Green Bay also surprised football by waiting until the seventh-round of the 2025 NFL draft to take a cornerback (Tulane's Micah Robinson).
