The Packers signed Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander to a 4-year, $84 million contract extension Monday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Alexander’s new deal includes $31 million in 2022 and a $30 million signing bonus. The $30 million signing bonus is an NFL record for defensive backs. In total, Alexander will receive $42.5 million by next March.
Alexander’s new deal averages $21 million per year, which is a new record for defensive backs, and ties the talented corner to Green Bay through 2026. Alexander battled multiple injuries last year, including a broken bone in his shoulder, but the Packers did not hesitate in locking him up as a key member of their defense moving forward.
