Packers could be making last-ditch effort to trade Jaire Alexander

Our Summary

The Packers are reportedly planning to release veteran cornerback Jaire Alexander, but this move might be a strategic ploy to attract trade offers instead. By leaking news of Alexander's release, they hope to prompt interest from other teams before he becomes a free agent. The key considerations include whether another team is willing to take on his future salaries ($16.15 million in 2025 and $18.15 million in 2026) and whether Alexander himself would be open to a trade, as a reluctant player could be more trouble than he's worth. The Packers have until 4:00 p.m. ET today to potentially negotiate a deal, preventing Alexander from joining rival teams like the Vikings, Lions, or Bears.
