The Green Bay Packers and cornerback Jaire Alexander could not reach a reworked contract agreement this offseason, prompting the team to release him on Monday after seven seasons.
While the two-time Pro Bowler was once a strong defensive player for the Packers, injuries plagued his last two seasons, limiting him to only compete in 14 games over those two years. Green Bay is somewhat "used to" playing without him because of those injuries, Packers president Mark Murphy admitted when asked about the gap at the cornerback position now.
