Mark Murphy on Jaire Alexander: Great player, but we're used to being without him

Our Summary

Mark Murphy, nearing the end of his tenure as Packers president, has confirmed the team's decision to release cornerback Jaire Alexander. Despite being an elite talent, Alexander's frequent injuries—causing him to miss 34 games in the past four seasons—led to this move. Efforts to trade Alexander or revise his contract were unsuccessful. Murphy expressed confidence in the remaining cornerbacks, highlighting Keisean Nixon as a promising player for the team's future.
