Overview

  • Jaire Alexander remains on the Packers' roster as trade negotiations falter due to his $17.5 million 2025 salary and refusal to renegotiate.
  • The two-time Pro Bowl cornerback has played only 14 games in the past two seasons due to recurring injuries, including a PCL strain.
  • General Manager Brian Gutekunst has expressed frustration over Alexander's availability and the impact of his $24.1 million cap hit on the team's salary cap.
  • Green Bay signed cornerback Nate Hobbs to a four-year, $48 million deal in March as insurance against Alexander's injury risks.
  • Insiders predict the Packers will likely trade or release Alexander after the NFL Draft, potentially replacing him with a rookie cornerback.
